About Us
Locally Grown
Our farm is located in Morro Bay, California. We grow fresh gourmet mushrooms for local residents and restaurants along the California Central Coast.
Farm Fresh
The natural ocean air and mild weather is ideal for growing a variety of oyster mushrooms. We fruit them in humidified greenhouses, harvesting in early morning the same day we sell them at the farmer's market.
Environmentally Conscious
Our cultivation technique is incredibly low impact. We don't use fertilizer or pesticides. Any leftovers are pure, compostable material. All our paper products are recycled.
Come see us at one of the local central ca. coast farmers' markets!
