Actually I bet he's doing rather well with the mushroom kits - selling at your local WholeFoods.

Alejandro, who lives in San Francisco, not only has a famed TED talk on sustainability under his belt, but also co-founded Back to the Roots, a company that sells sustainable mushroom-growing kits (made from coffee waste!).

Alejandro, 25, graduated summa cum laude from the University of California — Berkeley, and has been a rising star for the entirety of his young professional life. According to an interview with Ideamensch.com, Alejandro’s list of awards includes being named one of BusinessWeek’s Top 25 Entrepreneurs Under 25, BusinessWeek’s Top 25 Social Entrepreneurs in America, 2010 Social Venture Network Social Innovation winner, and one of UCLA’s Opportunity Green Top 25 Green Company Leaders.

Actually, from what I understand, mushroom farming can be a very lucrative business - I know someone who got into it out in British Columbia and they have contracts with some of the high end restaurants - they are doing very, very well - it's possible they may have another business enterprise also don't know - just know that if this guy got into, there's money to be had.

Hmmm. Maybe I should have studied mushroom farming in college instead of economics? :Smiley:

Another article from the Joe interview. He thinks Sean and Arie will make it far (along with Jef), and possibly Doug. I think he has read the spoilers and just threw in Doug's name so people wouldn't think he has!

Seriously! Don't diss the farmers. They sell a quart of mushrooms at the local farmer's market for, like, $11!
