The Borrowed Land Farmers
Cathy Wheeler
How did a couple of marine biologists begin growing mushrooms? We once enjoyed a Thanksgiving dinner prepared from entirely local ingredients: foraged chanterelles, elk, tuna, cattail shoots, and wild greens. It tasted great and made us feel connected to the land. We want to help provide a similar experience for others—great tasting, local food with a story.

Our sterile fungus lab produces fruiting blocks and spawn for mushroom farms of all sizes, as well as to home-growers.
