If you’ve spent time in the woods, you’ve likely seen a mushroom.
But they wouldn’t be so removed from the Twin Cities that they couldn’t personally deliver their products and in so doing build relationships with their customers. They knew that land is more affordable and the climate ideal in this part of Wisconsin. Realizing that their passion could be developed into a business model, they embarked upon the journey that brought them out to this idyllic spot of woodland. They enjoyed supplementing their pantry with various plants and mushrooms they could find in nearby parks. Once upon a time, Jeremy and Aimee lived in Minneapolis. Northwood sprang from a passion for foraging. It’s a bit of surprise to learn the McAdams have only been here since 2016. As with all good farmers, they know the ins and outs of everything in their domain. Growers Aimee and Jeremy walk the farm with the assurance of folks who’ve been working the land for a decade. Enclosed within a ring of dark pine and majestic oak, the farm is a tidy patch of lush greenery amidst the endless fields of corn. When we pull up to the farm the air is warm and dense, charged with the moisture of early morning rain. To learn more about how mushrooms are grown, we took a drive out to Clayton, WI to visit Northwood Mushrooms. This means they also require different facilities and equipment to grow commercially. Mushrooms are fungi and require entirely different conditions to grow than plants. It’s well known that mushrooms are nutritious (and many of us certainly find them delicious), but have you ever asked yourself how mushrooms are grown? We often lump them in with other vegetables when talking about nutrition, even though mushrooms don’t come from plants like carrots or lettuce.
