Over the course of history, our farm has grown from a few modest mushroom doubles selling out of a pickup truck to being one of the largest mushroom companies in the US, selling over 70 million pounds of mushrooms per year!
State of the art technology, improved business processes, and decades-long experience give us the competitive edge we need to satisfy customers nationwide. Our continued investment has given us the ability to continue our passion for quality and service.
