The Business of Growing Mushrooms

My name is Sam and as a child I always wanted to grow things. Though I was never allowed to even touch a shovel while growing up in South Korea. After relocating to the USA in 1975, I still dreamt of having a farm and growing something from nothing. It wasn't until the early 1980's I left my full-time job and found myself immersing into
My name is Sam and as a child I always wanted to grow things. Though I was never allowed to even touch a shovel while growing up in South Korea. After relocating to the USA in 1975, I still dreamt of having a farm and growing something from nothing. It wasn't until the early 1980's I left my full-time job and found myself immersing into the world of growing Shiitake Mushrooms from oak logs. Growing mushrooms in the backyard to Sunhee's dismay (my wife). This hobby took me to China and Korea to explore organic and sustainable growing methods. It also introduced me to a community of Mycology at UC Berkeley and UC Davis. Within a few years we relocated to 4 acres in Green Valley California where we could grow more mushrooms and plant an orchard of our favorite fruits and vegetables. To Sunhee's surprise within a year we had more mushrooms than a family of 5 could consume...ever! With our personal residence just on the other side of Napa Valley - we found local restaurants and chefs, hoping we could give away the mushroom surplus. Local merchants then commented - 'if you can produce consistently, we'll even pay for them!' Thus, the business was born... 40 years later I'm still consumed in my passion for growing things and Sunhee manages the business aspect via Farmers Markets and local orders. We hope to one day really retire...for good this time!
