May 26, 2021 by Claire McArthur Leave a Comment

For a long time, the mushroom selection at most grocery stores was unimpressive: white or brown, button or cremini. Maybe a few portobellos were thrown in for good measure. But in recent years, mushrooms — and their diverse shapes, textures, and flavors — are having their moment in the sun.  While there are more than 10,000 known types of mushrooms (and mycologists suspect … [Read more...]

Ogden Businesses Survive COVID Challenges Thanks to Local Support

March 16, 2021 by Claire McArthur Leave a Comment

There’s a famous scene in the show Friends where Ross enlists Rachel and Chandler to help him carry a couch up a narrow flight of stairs, and he ends up madly shouting, “Pivot! Pivot! Pivot!” as the too-large sofa becomes lodged in the corner of the stairway.

James Weed was working 12-hour days in finance when his wife told him he needed to get a hobby.  “She got me into homebrewing,” recalls Weed with a laugh. “I’m the type of guy that likes to do things himself, so I started growing my own hops and malting my own barley.” But finding small-scale equipment to malt the grain proved to be difficult.
