Our Story

Once upon a time, a blue-eyed boy married a girl with wild hair who ate things she found in the woods. He tried it too, & realizing it was good, they decided to find, eat & grow things together. They loved it as much as they loved each other, moved to the forest & started growing mushrooms in the garden. And then they just kept growing! ♡

It is our vision that anyone who wants healthy, high quality mushrooms can get them for a reasonable amount of money and/or effort. 

Our mission is to work like the mushroom's mycelium, making the most of the resources directly in our path. Taking the wisdom mushrooms offer to heart, we hope to colonize our neighboring communities with happy home chefs & growers.

In late 2023 we discontinued single use plastic bags in search of truly planet friendly, accessible, & affordable ways for ourselves & our customers to grow mushrooms.

New Hampshire's landscape, climate & availability of wood industry waste offer perfect opportunities for innovations in gourmet mushroom production. We are currently developing methods to make post consumer waste home grow kits.
