Our mushrooms are a nutritious and protein-rich meat alternative, packed with fiber and antioxidants that give them a tender meaty texture while rich & savory.
Mild flavor, like tofu. Firm, with long fibers that pull easily, similar to scallops. Pairs best with saucy dishes where it can absorb and accentuate the flavor.
Buttery and savory flavor. Tender, and crispy texture, like seared steak. But with a soft inside that melts in your mouth. Works well as beef, crab, or pulled pork alternative.
Rich and savory flavor. Soft and tender, similar to beef tenderloin in consistency. Works well on its own or in soups or stir fry.
Strong nutty flavor. Firm and crispy, similar to seafood. Works well on its own or in savory dishes like scrambled eggs & stir-fry.
Distinctly savory with an underlying sweetness, like ham. Soft and crispy, like bacon when fried. Works well as a pork alternative.
Our mushrooms are grown and harvested locally at our mushroom farm in Wayne, New Jersey. They are distributed fresh to local restaurants, households, & at the Wayne Farmer's Market during the summer.
Originally gourmet mushroom strains were discovered in the wild but have since been cloned and grown indoors. They uniquely grow on dead trees as opposed to soil and result in a superior flavor and texture compared to common mushrooms.
We farm our mushrooms in environmentally controlled indoor grow-rooms and we handle them with gloves, masks, and lab-coats to keep them sterile. They also grown on oak-shavings and soy -- no dirt involved! You can optionally give them a quick rinse but they’re ready-to-go straight into the frying pan.
