Our story
Rooted in farming.
Amazing Mushroom Farm blends decades of agricultural experience with a lifelong curiosity and craftsmanship. From our family to yours, welcome to our farm.
Raised on a dairy farm
Our founder, Michael Jones, grew up on a 212-acre dairy farm, milking cows, tending animals, harvesting crops and maintaining the equipment that kept everything running.
Service and precision
After serving our country in the U.S. Air Force, Michael carried those values of hard work, ingenuity and precision into owning and operating a UL-listed industrial control panel shop. With a passion for invention and streamlining processes, he handled everything from engineering to bookkeeping for decades before passing the business on to the next generation.
Kentucky, since 1992
In 1992, Michael and his family moved to Kentucky, a place that quickly felt like home. Today, with three children, four grandchildren and nearly 50 years of marriage, Michael is embarking on a new venture rooted in both science and soil: mushrooms.
