It’s very hard for cultivators to get lions main to grow longer hairs, usually you only get length on them when foraging in the wild but this place is doing something special, I’ve never seen lions main look this good before being grown at a farm anywhere else. Their chestnuts have a lovely crack in the stems, they’re so fresh and have the best flavor and they’re just massive. So are their oysters, never been able to buy mushrooms this big and this fresh before. Really a privilege to be able to have them in the area. I’m so incredibly impressed with this company.

I love these guys! I had a personalized tour and was amazed by the set up. Clean, neat and professional! Just like the owners. I am vocal about my experiences, and this one was top notch! The mushrooms are FRESH. No yellowing. They cook great and taste amazing. I also purchased several ( Cordyceps, Reishi, Lions Mane) tinctures. I am well aware of the benefits, and learned more during my visit. BONUS: ALL LOCAL. I agree with all of the other posters. 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 !!!

I had an amazing experience with this mushroom company! The owner gave a very informative lesson on mushrooms, sharing great details about each variety and answering every question with transparency and expertise. You can tell he truly knows his craft and passionate about his craft and what he does. What stood out the most was how he is to support you even after purchase he'll help you with any questions you have about the products. He works incredibly hard to take care of his mushrooms, and it shows in the quality and care behind everything.
