About

Far West Fungi is a family farm whose mission is to produce high-quality mushrooms. Skilled care and attention are given to their mushrooms when growing, harvesting, grading, and packing. John and Toby use a balance of modern and traditional growing techniques to maintain quality mushrooms while ensuring minimal impact on the environment. Mushrooms are grown on bran and red oak sawdust from a local wood fibers company.

The mushrooms grown on the farm are 100% certified organic. Far West Fungi also sells some conventionally grown mushrooms from a nearby farm.
