🍂🍄 There’s never a bad time of year to cultivate mushrooms, but if you ask us, fall has a special place in our hearts.

There’s something about the crisp mountain air, the changing leaves, and the beauty of the North Georgia mountains that makes this season feel extra special here at Ellijay Mushrooms. While every season brings something wonderful to the growing process, autumn is when we find ourselves appreciating it all just a little more. 🤎

And of course, we can’t talk about what makes our mushrooms special without talking about the place we call home. Here in the North Georgia mountains, we’re fortunate to have the natural resources that make our corner of the world unique, including the mountain water that plays an important role in cultivating our mushrooms. It’s one of the many things that make growing here in Ellijay so special. 🌿💧

From tending to our mushrooms to watching the seasons change around the farm, we’re grateful to do what we love in a place that gives us so much. There’s always something growing, something to discover, and another reason to fall in love with this little corner of North Georgia.

So come enjoy the season with us! Stop by the farm, explore, visit the farm store, and see what makes Ellijay Mushrooms so special. We think fall is even better when you spend a little time in the mountains. 🍄🍁

Some of the best memories begin in the kitchen. 🍄🤎
We loved seeing Dawn LaMattina Asher create a delicious mushroom risotto featuring our very own Ellijay Mushrooms!
As a local Ellijay host, Dawn LaMattina Asher brings together two of our favorite things: the charm of our little mountain town and the joy of gathering around a home-cooked meal. 🌿🍂 Whether you’re visiting Ellijay for a weekend getaway or simply looking for a change of scenery, there’s something special about slowing down, exploring somewhere new, and making yourself at home.
We love the idea of discovering local ingredients and bringing them into the kitchen to create something delicious. Because the best travel memories aren’t always made out exploring… sometimes, they’re made right around the table, sharing a meal with the people you love. And we couldn’t agree more!
Thank you for featuring our mushrooms in this beautiful recipe and celebrating the goodness of local food. We’re so happy to be a little part of the meals and memories being made right here in Ellijay! 🍄🤎
If you’re looking for a place to escape, experience the beauty of Ellijay, and make a few memories of your own, be sure to check out Dawn LaMattina Asher for your next getaway to the mountains 🏡
And of course, a little love to The Olive Jar | Airbnb Design & Marketing Studio for bringing the Start in the Kitchen concept to life, along with producing partner Jackie Carr. Because good food, local ingredients, and meaningful moments are always worth celebrating. 🍚🌿

🍄🐛 Did someone leave the door to Wonderland open?!

We spotted this GIANT caterpillar-looking creature wandering around the farm, and we have so many questions. 👀 It looks like something straight out of Alice in Wonderland…. a little mysterious, a little strange, and definitely not something you see every day!

But here’s the thing… we have no idea what it is! 🤔 So we’re turning to our fellow nature lovers for help. We love hearing from all of our mushroom friends!

🍃 What do you think this curious creature is?** Drop your guesses in the comments! Are we looking at a caterpillar, or is this something completely different? We can’t wait to see who gets it right!

One thing’s for sure: there’s always something unexpected to discover when you spend your days exploring nature. You never know what might wander by at Ellijay Mushrooms! 🌿🍄

💎✨ A NEW little adventure has arrived at Ellijay Mushrooms! 🍄🌿

Have you spotted our brand-new gem mining station yet? We’ve added another hands-on experience to the farm, and we couldn’t be more excited for y’all to come check it out! 💎

Our mining area was **handmade with lots of care**, creating a special little spot where kids and grown-ups alike can roll up their sleeves, sift through the treasures, and see what gems they uncover. Who knows what colorful finds are waiting for you! 🪨💎

And of course, we had to get Liam in on the fun! 😉 Whether you’re visiting with the family, exploring the farm, or just looking for something new to do in Ellijay, our new gem mining station is one more reason to make a day of it.

Come explore, discover, and find a little treasure of your own at Ellijay Mushrooms! 🍄💚

🍄🎥 A little spotlight on our corner of North Georgia!
We recently had the pleasure of welcoming New Ellijay TV to Ellijay Mushrooms! 🌿 For those who may not know, New Ellijay TV is a community-powered television network and streaming platform sharing local stories, news, events, entertainment, and the people who make our North Georgia community so special. We love seeing local storytellers shine a light on the wonderful things happening right here in our own backyard!
From the people behind local businesses to the places that make Ellijay unique, it’s these stories that help bring our community together. 💚 We’re so happy they stopped by to spend some time with us and share a little look into life at the mushroom farm.
Curious to see the visit for yourself? 🍄 Head over to to watch the full video and see Ellijay Mushrooms through their lens!
A big thank-you to nelson and Eli Newell for visiting the farm and helping share our story. We appreciate y’all and love celebrating the people who make this community such a special place to call home! 🌱✨

Some mushrooms just know they’re better together. 🍄🍄

These two shiitakes decided to grow side by side, and we have to say… we love a good partnership. 🤎 They’re basically the mushroom version of that friend who’s always down for an adventure, a little exploring, and a stop at the farm store along the way.

So consider this your sign to tag your best friend, mushroom buddy, or partner-in-crime and make plans to come see us! 🌿

Take a walk around the farm, see what’s growing, browse the farm store, and of course, pick up some fresh mushrooms to take home for dinner. Because everything tastes a little better when you’ve got someone to share it with.

And if you and your bestie happen to leave with way more mushrooms than you planned on buying… we won’t tell. 😉🍄

Tag the person you’d bring to the farm with you! 👇

There’s something special about meeting the people who spend their time discovering all the places that make Georgia worth exploring. 🌿🍄
Recently Jamar Jeffrey of Jamar Explores Georgia visited Ellijay Mushrooms, where he wandered the farm, learned a little more about what we do, and captured his experience for his YouTube channel. Naturally, we had a few questions of our own.
Jamar’s journey into social media wasn’t exactly planned. He tells us he was going through a funk when one morning he decided it was time to make a change. That change started with a hike to the floor of Tallulah Gorge and a few B-roll clips posted to TikTok. The result? 1.2 million views in his first week. And from there, he simply never stopped.
Today, that love for exploring has grown into a community of fellow adventurers through Explore Georgia Hiking Club, bringing people together to discover the trails, beauty, and hidden gems Georgia has to offer.
When he’s not exploring Georgia, you might find him at Beau-tiful Creations in Ellijay, where the splatter paint room has become one of his favorite places. There’s something therapeutic about slinging paint, he says, and we have to agree that a little creative chaos can be good for the soul.
His mushroom pick? Lion’s Mane, of course. 🦁🍄
And what’s next on Jamar’s adventure list? A little bit of everything: skydiving, visiting all the Georgia State Parks he hasn’t made it to yet, and a deep-sea fishing trip.
We loved having Jamar explore the farm and share Ellijay Mushrooms through his eyes. Be sure to check out his YouTube video and follow along with Jamar by following and Explore Georgia Hiking Club as he continues finding new places, new trails, and new stories across our beautiful state. 🌄
Thanks for stopping by, Jamar. We’ll see you on the next adventure. 🍄

🍄 Come explore Ellijay Mushrooms at your own pace! 🌿
Our self-guided tours give you the freedom to wander around the farm, take your time, and get a closer look at what goes into growing the mushrooms you know and love.
As you explore, you’ll learn more about the growing process, see the different stages of mushroom cultivation, and discover some of the behind the scenes work that happens here every day. There’s plenty to look at, plenty to learn, and maybe even a few things you didn’t expect to find on a mushroom farm. 🍄
It’s a great way to spend a little time outside, bring the kids along, introduce someone to the world of mushrooms, or simply enjoy a slower afternoon in Ellijay.
So come curious, take your time, and make the farm your own adventure. 🤎
We can’t wait to welcome you!

October has a way of making everything feel a little more magical. 🍂✨
The mornings come wrapped in a cool mountain breeze, the leaves begin their slow dance from green to gold, and the farm starts to settle into its coziest season.
We love this time of year at Ellijay Mushrooms, when the mountains put on their autumn show and the days feel just a little sweeter.
But there’s a bittersweet part of fall, too. 🌼
Our U-pick flower fields will slowly begin to rest for the season. As the nights grow colder, our blooms begin to slow down, reminding us that nothing on the farm stays the same for very long.
So, if you’ve been dreaming of wandering through the flowers, filling your hands with a little bouquet, and soaking up those last warm afternoons among the blooms… come see us while they’re still here. 🌸
Soon the fields will quiet, and the mountains will be covered in their autumn colors.
For now, we’re standing right in the middle of it all mushrooms growing, flowers blooming, leaves changing, and October doing what October does best. 🍄🍁
Come find a little magic with us, & let yourself linger a little longer. 💐
