Specialized mushroom and produce farm. Top products: Fresh mushrooms, Mushroom spawn, CSA produce boxes. Gabor Farms, a veteran-owned and operated agricultural enterprise based in Richmond County, NC, utilizes a multi-site approach to sustainable food production. Their operations integrate traditional field farming, caterpillar tunnels, and controlled-environment agriculture to provide a diverse range of crops. The core of their mycological division is housed in temperature-controlled 40-foot shipping containers, which serve as high-efficiency mushroom grow rooms. They maintain an on-site sterile lab, allowing them to produce their own spawn and experiment with unique cultivation techniques, such as leveraging mushroom-room environments to accelerate plant root growth. Gabor Farms serves its community through a robust CSA program and a presence at regional farmers' markets. Their offerings extend beyond produce to include mushroom spawn, dried, and powdered fungal products, catering to both local consumers and other growers. As a member of the Sandhills Mushroom Growers Co-op, they prioritize food accessibility and education, frequently hosting instructional sessions within their laboratory facility.
