Abstract:
After twenty years, Franklin Garland's plan to be the state's only Perigord truffle farmer is starting to pay off. Truffles are much sought after for the flavor they add to food and can cost $350 a pound. In 1998, Garland Gourmet Mushrooms & Truffles, Inc., located in Hillsborough, turned a profit. In 1999, the company expects revenues of $200,000.
