Hello!

We are Mushbloom Gardens

Curious about fungi? Interested in incorporating mushrooms into your lifestyle? Looking for fresh mushrooms for your restaurant menu, home kitchen, or garden? We would love to help!

Based in Athens Ohio, our small farm raises varieties of mushrooms for the home cook, chef, or beginner foodie looking to explore making mushrooms as ubiquitous as meat in the kitchen. We provide Southeast Ohio and surrounding areas with high quality fresh farmed culinary mushrooms, cultivated wild species, grow kits, identification services, growing supplies and more.

We think mushrooms are truly fascinating, delicious, and should be accessible to everyone. If you agree and/or want to learn more, please join us in our small business journey <3

Sam (she/her)

With her love of nature, food, and science, becoming a mushroom farmer surprisingly wasn’t something she thought about until recent years. Sam is our creative mind, majority owner (Yes! We are a WOC owned business!) and fungi foodie explorer. With an education background in Biotechnology and around three years of mushroom growing experience, Sam is always eager to continue learning and share the beauty of fungi within community. Sam was brought up in Philadelphia and called Harrisburg PA home for a few years. Being apart of the food and agricultural scene now in Southeast OH is quite the change but, definitely something she holds close to heart. As a young business owner she hopes to encourage transparency, food accessibility, and mental health discussions.

Cam (he/him)

With over ten years of growing experience, Cam is our mushroom grow specialist. But without a question, Cam is more passionate about foraging and loves being in the forest. He is certified in mushroom foraging identification in several states! Cam is from Florida and found his way to Pennsylvania thrilled to find all the species of mushrooms he spent years reading about. Cam is in the process of getting a degree in accounting. He is eager and excited to apply what he learns to Mushbloom as Co-owner and as a farmer. He believes financial literacy within farming not only builds stronger food systems in the long run but also allows them to be resilient in an ever-growing and changing environment.
