We are young farmers coming together to change the quality of your mushrooms.
Toadstool Farms is a gourmet mushroom farm going up in Houston, Texas. Everything we sell will be grown here, packed here, and on a shelf near you within days of harvest.
We already worked together
Everyone at this farm was friends and employees together at a different farm, for years. We brought decades of combined experience with us to solve the mushroom problem.
The mushroom problem
Mushrooms always went bad so quickly. You could never close the film back up on the old packaging. And then it was just some styrofoam to throw away.
It felt bad at every step.
We knew we could solve those problems, and we knew we could run this type of farm, because we already had the skills.
People who knew our work backed us
We raised money from family and from people in the food safety industry who trusted us from our last farm. They knew what we were capable of. They knew the demand was real and that the problem we're solving hadn't been addressed.
Local, gourmet, high quality, and affordable. That was the whole plan, and it still is.
Texas grown for Texas' own
Locally grown means better nutrients, longer shelf life, and just plain good eating. A mushroom that spends four days in a truck arrives tired. Ours won't take the trip.
Doing right by the planet
We use recycled packaging that's compostable.
Plus, you can close our packages up again. No more messing around with plastic cling wrap. No more wondering if you should do something to keep your mushrooms fresher longer. Just close the box and toss it back in your fridge.
Adding a smidge more peace back in your life? You can't complain about that.
