Direct from the Hunter
For years we would throw our old truffle cuttings into the soil with no plan or design. Then we started looking at the science behind what truffle farmers were doing, the advice that truffle tree companies were giving their customers and new research firing the truffle growing business. This has lead to some interesting experiments in the forests, on our own land and beyond!
Several years ago we began experimenting with truffle trees, trying to grow our own truffles from truffle spores. This video shows what we did and what happened.
It is possible to grow truffles by yourself. Hunters have been doing this for years. Here are four different easy and affordable projects. If you are transplanting trees from truffle areas, make sure that you source responsibly.
Starting a truffle plantation requires a substantial outlay and uses an abundance of resources. Could there be a different approach which leverages existing ecosystems and has a much lower environmental impact? Our most ambitious truffle experiment to date.
Three natural truffle growing projects, regenerating an old hazel orchard, repopulating truffle forests and recreating a replica truffle woodland. What has happened so far, what are we learning and what happens next.
