Gourmet and medicinal mushroom cultivation. Top products: Fresh gourmet mushrooms, Dual extracted tinctures, Mushroom jerky. Dryad Grove, founded in 2020 by Jason and LeAnne Westvang in Weatherford, TX, is a family-owned, sustainable mushroom farm operating with a commitment to zero-waste production. The farm utilizes regenerative, chemical-free, and pesticide-free cultivation methods, growing gourmet varieties like oyster, lion’s mane, and chestnut mushrooms. Beyond raw culinary fungi, the operation distinguishes itself by repurposing harvested stock into a diverse array of value-added products, including mushroom broths, seasonings, and vegan, fruit-pectin-based medicinal gummies. Their business model is split into two primary segments: a culinary line focused on fresh and dried pantry staples, and a medicinal line featuring dual-extracted tinctures such as turkey tail and reishi. Committed to environmental stewardship, the farm actively contributes to local soil health by providing spent mushroom substrate to the public for use as compost. Serving both direct-to-consumer and local markets, Dryad Grove emphasizes holistic wellness, mycological education, and high-quality, craft-focused production.
