Southern New Brunswick Woodlot Co-op.  They have information about cultivating Shiitake on hardwood logs on their website and they have an active and on-going inoculation project.  One of their members, Jamie Floyd, acts as our agent for NB and eastern Canada and you can place an order for spawn plugs with him if you want to hook into this network of growers and woodlot owners.  Of course you can place an order directly with us and we will ship plugs to you.  We ship throughout  Canada.
