Sobre los ponentes
About the speaker: Garret Kopp grew up in Tupper Lake and naturally formed a close relationship with nature from an early age. He began harvesting Chaga and selling it at local pop-up markets with his grandmother when he was 15. While attending business school at Clarkson University, Garrett began turning his passion for wild Chaga into a career-oriented enterprise, which he named Birch Boys. Now 24, Garrett is a certified mushroom identification expert & licensed NYS guide. Today, Birch Boys leases 220,000 acres of private land in the Adirondacks for sustainable Chaga harvesting. The company has shipped Chaga-based handmade products (including teas, tinctures, and skin care products) to over 20,000 online customers in all 50 states.Josh Weise + Tanner Hockey – Brewers at Raquette River Brewery
