The Mushroom Journal Profiles: David Walker of Monaghan Mushrooms

摘要

Yorkshire born and bred-Yorkshire born and bred, David is yet another of the mushroom growing community who spent his early life on a farm. Of his early years near Richmond David remembers little, as his parents moved to a farm just outside Ripon whenhe was four years old. Father was a farmer, arable and pigs, and his mother a teacher. Early memories are of working on the farm, he clearly remembers a week of potato picking for which he earned 5 pound and promptly spent it on a dog, a Jack Russell, which remained the family pet until after he went to college. Holidays and spare time during his time a school were all spent on the farm. Young David was especially proud of his prowess with tractor and trailer.
