The farm, Samsula-New Smyrna, Florida

About Our Farm

We grow on seventeen acres of Volusia County ground that has been farmland for over a hundred years. Lion's Mane, oyster and pioppino for the market table, Lion's Mane and Reishi under outdoor shade houses for the extracts. This is what the farm is and how it works.

Powered by nature

What real weather does to a mushroom.

Most functional mushroom extracts on the shelf start as powder grown on sterile grain, far from whoever's selling it. Ours is different. We grow our extract mushrooms outdoors, in real Florida weather, and for Chaga and Turkey Tail we partner with wildcrafters up in Michigan.

A mushroom that grows through real sun, real air, and real weather has to work for it. The compounds it builds to handle that are the same ones people come to these mushrooms for in the first place. It just makes sense that one grown the way nature intended comes out with more of them.

You can see it in the harvest. Through the cooler months our Lion's Mane comes in huge and full and white, closer to a head of cauliflower than anything from a clean indoor room. The taste is better and the texture is better. That's a grower's observation from six years of doing it, not a lab result.

No middlemen

One farm, from the shade house to the bottle

We were the first mushroom farm in Volusia County. We are also the only mushroom farm in Florida cultivating outdoors. We grow Lion's Mane, oyster, pioppino and half our Reishi here. Our partner wildcrafters handle the wild side: Chaga, Turkey Tail, and the other half of the Reishi, all in Michigan. Every extraction happens here in New Smyrna. What we grow here, we extract here.

How we make our extractsMeet the farmer

Always

  • Grown with nature.
  • Whole mushrooms.
  • Extracted with no alcohol, solvent-free.

Never

  • Mycelium on grain.
  • Fillers or cheap binders.
  • A vague "proprietary blend."

Every extract starts as a whole wildcrafted mushroom, never mycelium grown on grain. You should be able to know where your mushrooms came from.
