Sheridan Start-Up Challenge- Oyster City Mushroom Farm

We continue our series today on the finalists for Impact 307’s Sheridan Start-Up Challenge entrepreneur competition. Sheridan Media’s Ron Richter has the details.

Over the next couple of days leading up to Pitch Night, we’ll be highlighting the finalists for this year’s Sheridan Start-Up Challenge entrepreneur competition that is hosted by Impact 307, Sheridan’s business incubator. The Sheridan Start-Up Challenge will feature five finalists vying for a chance to win business funding from the $100,000 seed fund that’s been established for the event. Jeremiah Attebury, owner of Oyster City Mushroom Farm, a large-scale, year-round gourmet mushroom farm that will provide fresh mushrooms to local and regional markets, talks about where the idea originated from.

Attebury explains the difference between gourmet mushrooms and typical button mushrooms.

Along with access to the seed fund, each of the three winners at Pitch Night will receive $5,000. All five of the finalists will be eligible for the $1,000 ERA Carroll Realty audience choice award. Pitch Night will take place Wednesday night at 5:30 at the WYO Theater in downtown Sheridan. There will also be a live-stream of the event available on our website sheridanmedia.com and on our Facebook page.
