It is with great sadness that I must let you know that, going forward, I will not be operating Mountain View Mushroom Farm. This took a lot of thought and consideration on my part; I just can't sell enough mushrooms. If I can find a way to grow without my costs being so high, and increase my orders, I would consider operating again in the future; but at this time it is just not working, the past 2 years have been a struggle. I gave it 5 and 1/2 years. I went from 22 restaurants and 4 markets, to 3 restaurants and only 1 market upon closing for the season. My costs rose substantially, and I raised my prices minimally, and still not able to make it work. A lot of work, time, love, and passion have gone into growing my beauties these past seasons. And I appreciate, more than you know, those of you out there who purchased my beautiful mushrooms to use in your restaurants or sell in your establishments! And all of you friends who came to the farm and bought my mushrooms, and joined me for our open houses, thank you so much. All of you, thank you for your support. I wish it had kept up and continued to at least pay for itself. No one is more disappointed and sad than I am...🥺 A special thanks to my friend and collaborator Jay Kra...let me know what you're doing this summer with the shrooms!💙
God bless you all, it's been my pleasure growing the beautiful mushrooms and introducing so many of you to them. Peace, love, and respect, my friends.🍄💕
