Tasting notes

Nutty and earthy with a faint pepper finish. Dense caps and crisp stems that hold their bite through wet heat instead of going soft.

In the kitchen

Keep the clusters whole or halve them, and brown hard before anything wet joins the pan. A natural in ragù, risotto, and pasta sauces, and unusually good simply roasted with garlic.

Freshness & delivery

Cut to order the morning of dispatch, never from cold storage. Fairfield pickup and North Jersey delivery. Keep refrigerated in a paper bag and enjoy within the week for peak flavor and texture.

From Our Farm

Not a warehouse. A farm.

We grow on hardwood at 90 Clinton Rd in Fairfield, and it never leaves our hands until it reaches yours.

Farm pickup is available. Collect at the door. 90 Clinton Rd, Unit 2, Fairfield, NJ, Mon–Fri, 12–4pm. Directions and hours.

In the Kitchen

Three things and you're done.

  1. 1

    Keep them breathing

    Paper bag in the fridge, never sealed plastic, trapped moisture is what turns a good mushroom to a wet sponge.

  2. 2

    Hot pan, no crowding

    Get the pan properly hot and give them room. Crowded mushrooms steam instead of browning.

  3. 3

    Fat and salt at the end

    Butter or oil once the edges have colour, salt last. Salting early pulls the water straight back out.

Absolutely the best mushrooms that you can buy!! In the great words of Denzel Washington in American Ganster: Innoculated “ that’s a brand name; like Pepsi, that’s a brand name. I stand behind it. I guarantee it.” Go get your mushrooms

Before You Buy

The honest answers.

How long will they keep?

They're cut the day you collect them, so you're starting from the freshest possible point. Keep them in the paper bag they come in, never sealed plastic, in the fridge. Most varieties hold their texture for about a week from cutting.

Do I need to wash them?

No, and please don't soak them. They're grown indoors on clean hardwood, not in soil. Brush off anything you can see, or wipe with a dry cloth. Mushrooms are mostly water already and washing only makes them harder to brown.

Can I freeze them?

Cook them first, then freeze. Raw mushrooms turn to mush on thawing because the cell walls rupture. Sautéed and frozen flat, they keep for months and go straight into a pan from frozen.

Is pickup really free?

Yes, free at the farm door, 90 Clinton Rd, Unit 2, Fairfield, Mon–Fri, 12–4pm, and it earns 2× loyalty points. No minimum, no handling fee.
