ABOUT US

RMS Growers specializes in growing fresh mushrooms using natural log substrates to produce high quality products in a non-resource intensive manner.   The logs are harvested with sustainable forestry practices in mind, inoculated with spawn from proven producers and left to peacefully colonize in a shaded outdoor environment until they become ready to "fruit".  Our products and services include the following:

​

Fresh Mushrooms  - available through local farm markets and wholesale accounts. Information on the 2024 seasonal outlets will be published

  • Shiitake - available consistently mid-May through October

  • Various types of Oysters (pink, yellow, white)- several flushes early summer through mid-fall

  • Lions Mane - available May through October

​

Microgreens - available year round, fresh and local

  • Sunflower

  • Pea shoots

  • Arugula

  • Plus many more, custom requests can be supported

​

For folks that wish to grow and harvest mushrooms at home we offer several products including:

  • Fully prepared individual shiitake logs - fully colonized and ready to produce mushrooms (please see the gallery pictures).  These logs will produce mushrooms for 3-4 years.

  • Shiitake log packages which includes 6 logs (more or less available) and an onsite consultation - produce high quality fresh mushrooms virtually all season

  • Shiitake Log Inoculation Workshop - thanks to the participants in our 2023 workshop in May.  We are looking forward to hosting similar events in the spring of 2024.

​
