Fresh Mushrooms, Grown Here in Athens
We grow gourmet mushrooms year-round on our small farm in Athens, Georgia. Our mushrooms are harvested by hand and sold fresh at the Athens Farmers Market each Wednesday and Saturday.
Our weekly harvest changes with the season and the grow room, but you'll regularly find oyster mushrooms, lion's mane, shiitake, chestnut mushrooms, and pioppino, along with occasional specialty and seasonal varieties.
Cultivated mushrooms are $18/lb. Mix and match varieties however you like.
Preorder Your Market Mushrooms
Want to make sure your mushrooms are waiting for you? Preorder for pickup at either of our weekly Athens Farmers Markets.

Mixed Mushroom Box — farmer's choice of at least two varieties from that week's harvest
Available in ½ lb ($9) or 1 lb ($18) portions.
Preorders close the night before each market. Your mushrooms will be harvested, packed, labeled with your name, and waiting at our booth anytime during market hours.
