Made for the kitchen

Each of these mushrooms brings something its own to the pan: smoke, crunch, sweetness or a peppery bite.

Shiitake
Deep, savory umami with a smoky aroma. Built for broths, ramen and stir-fries.
Chestnut
Nutty and earthy, with stems that keep a real crunch even after cooking.
Golden enoki
Long, crisp stems and a gentle sweetness for hot pot, ramen and salads.
Pioppino
Woodsy and lightly peppery. Lovely in risotto, polenta and roasted dishes.

Keep them fresh

  • Refrigerate in a paper bag or breathable container
  • Brush clean rather than soaking
  • Trim enoki at the root just before cooking
  • Dried shiitake keep for months in an airtight jar

Good to know

Questions, answered.

Which gourmet mushrooms can I buy now?

Shiitake, chestnut and golden enoki mushrooms are listed in our online farm store. Pioppino and chanterelle aren't in the store yet. Sign up for harvest alerts above and we'll email you when they're ready.

What's the difference between gourmet mushrooms and button mushrooms?

Gourmet mushrooms like shiitake, chestnut and enoki have more distinct flavors and textures than the white button mushrooms found in most grocery stores, from smoky umami to a nutty crunch. They're usually harvested in small batches and sold fresh.

How should I store gourmet mushrooms?

Keep fresh mushrooms in a paper bag or breathable container in the refrigerator, not sealed plastic. Most keep 5 to 7 days. Enoki are more delicate, so use them within 3 to 5 days.

Do you deliver gourmet mushrooms near Lexington?

Yes. We deliver to Lexington and Winchester, Kentucky. Order from the online farm store and pick a delivery date at checkout, or pick up at the farm Monday to Friday, 9am to 4pm.
