Did you know that the mushroom, by far the world’s favorite fungi, is packed with a powerful combination of vitamins, minerals and antioxidants that’s hard to find anywhere else.
Take Vitamin D for instance. Everyone knows that Vitamin D is critical to our health and is a major contributor to our immune systems. Mushrooms are full of Vitamin D! So there you have it, even more reason to put mushrooms on your plate!
Grown from a single farm in 1971, Monterey Mushrooms includes our local friends at Monterey Mushrooms in Loudon. The Loudon plant was built in 1977 by Ralston Purina and eventually became part of Monterey Mushrooms. With over 500 workers, it is easily the largest mushroom farm in Tennessee.
Our local friends are part of a huge operation of nine farms across North America that provides fresh locally grown mushrooms 365 days a year to grocery stores, restaurants, manufacturers and institutions.
