Let’s talk about some incredible chefs who have been putting our mushrooms to GOOD use. 🍄💚
Meet Chef Kash and Chef Chris, the chefs behind Bando Verde, a sauce with a pretty cool story of its own.
“Bando” is short for abandoned, while “Verde” translates to green — representing a fresh start and new beginnings. 🌱
Chef Kash and Chef Chris met back in 2014 at Le Cordon Bleu and, after graduating, stepped away from the culinary scene for a while. Eventually, they found their way back to the kitchen, came together, and created something new: Bando Verde. This is more than a sauce… is a sweet/spicy crown when it comes to dressing up your dish.
For two years in a row, they’ve used Ellijay Mushrooms at AgLanta, the City of Atlanta initiative focused on urban agriculture, local food systems, and food security. And this year, our mushrooms made their way into one VERY delicious creation: Oyster Mushroom Empanadas! 🤤🍄
We’re not saying we’re biased… but those empanadas were a HIT. 👏
We love seeing our mushrooms travel from our little corner of Ellijay into kitchens, events, and plates all over Georgia. That’s the fun part — we grow them, and then we get to see what creative geniuses like Chef Kash and Chef Chris dream up with them.
And they’re not slowing down! 👀 They have a pop-up coming soon at La Bodega 1975 in Atlanta, with a tentative date of October 3rd, plus plans for a dinner club in the near future… to that we say save us a seat!
*Don’t worry soon you’ll be able to purchase Bando sauce right in Ellijay Mushrooms farm store!!!!!

Here’s to good food, creative chefs, fresh starts, and mushrooms that get to go on little adventures. 🍄💚

🌸🍄 Dahlia season is showing off at Ellijay Mushrooms! 🍄🌸
Our flower garden is bursting with the prettiest dahlias right now …soft peaches, creamy whites, rosy pinks, and blooms in all kinds of beautiful shapes. 💕🌼

And because we’re a little obsessed with these beauties, here are a few fun dahlia facts:

🌸 Dahlias are native to Mexico and are the national flower of Mexico! 🇲🇽
🌸 There are thousands of dahlia varieties — from tiny pom-poms to dinner-plate-sized blooms.
🌸 Dahlias don’t grow from seeds alone — they’re commonly grown from underground tubers that you can save and replant.
🌸 The more you cut them, the more they bloom! Regularly picking dahlias encourages the plant to produce even more flowers. 💐
🌸 They’re pollinator-friendly, especially the more open varieties that give bees and other pollinators easier access to their centers. 🐝

If you’ve been meaning to stop by for our U-Pick flowers, now is the time! 💐 As the weather starts to change and cooler days roll in, our flower season will be winding down.

Come pick a bouquet, wander through the garden, and enjoy these beauties while they’re here. 🌿💗

The dahlias won’t bloom forever — come get ’em while they’re showing off! 🌸🍄

Whimsymaxxing… but make it sustainable. 💎🍄🌸♻️

We’ve been seeing the bedazzling-everything trend and, naturally, we wanted in on the fun. 😂 But around here, we’re big believers that you don’t always need something new to make something magical.

When the mushrooms are gone and the flowers have been enjoyed… don’t toss the packaging just yet!

That Ellijay Mushrooms box? 🍄
That cup that carried your freshly picked flowers? 🌸
Give it a second life!

Pull out those leftover rhinestones, beads, buttons, ribbon — whatever treasures are hiding in the craft drawer — and turn it into something wonderfully, ridiculously whimsical. ✨

Because sustainability doesn’t always have to be serious. Sometimes it can be sparkly, silly, creative and FUN. 💎

Reuse what you have. Make something happy. Add a little whimsy to everyday life… even farm life. 🍄✨

P.S. No, your mushroom boxes and flower cups won’t actually come bedazzled. 😂 This is just a little inspiration for what they could become afterward!

🍄✨ Mushrooms never sleep… and neither do we.
There’s a little bit of care happening in our grow houses around the clock. 🌙🌱
We always say “mushrooms never sleep,” because when they’re ready, we’re ready. It might be 3 AM when a shiitake decides it’s time… or 8 PM when the oysters are having a little growth spurt. Whenever they call, we’re there. 🍄
Checking. Harvesting. Tending. Making sure each mushroom gets the love and attention it needs to become the very best little mushroom it can be,and eventually, the very best one to land on your fork. 🍴
And we’ve got a little something for everyone. Because we’re not your grandma’s canned mushrooms. 😉 From buttery shiitakes to delicate oysters and hearty lion’s mane, we’re here to show you just how delicious mushrooms can be.
Changing one taste bud at a time…and trust us, it’s worth it. 🍄💚

🐝🍄 BEE-hind the scenes at the Mushroom homestead!

Take a look at our tiny but mighty crew! Our honey bees! 🐝 They can visit thousands of flowers in a single day, and it takes about 12,000 bees working together to make just one teaspoon of honey. Talk about teamwork! 🍯
Our beekeeper, Mark, keeps a close eye on the hives and makes sure our girls are happy, healthy, and buzzing along. 🌼🐝
Did you know the worker bees are female? Talk about girl power!

And speaking of honey… 👀🍯
We’ve got something sweet coming your way. Our very own honey launch is coming soon!

Stay tuned—you’re not going to want to miss this one. 🍄🐝🍯

🖤✨ There’s a little bit of magic hiding in the flowers at Ellijay Mushrooms…
If you’ve spent time wandering through our U-Pick flower fields, you’ve probably noticed one of our most frequent visitors….. the Eastern Tiger Swallowtail! 💛🖤 These gorgeous butterflies seem to float from bloom to bloom, their bright yellow wings flashing in the sunshine as they search for their next sip of nectar.
And those unmistakable little “tails”? They aren’t just for looks! 🦋 They can actually help fool predators into thinking the butterfly’s head is at the back end, pretty clever for something that looks like it belongs in a fairy garden. ✨
With wings that can stretch nearly 5 inches across, Tiger Swallowtails are hard to miss as they drift through our flowers. And because they’re busy visiting bloom after bloom, they’re also helping with pollination along the way. 🌸
So when you come to pick your own bouquet, take your time. Listen to the bees, watch the flowers sway, and keep an eye out for those golden wings dancing through the garden. 🌼🦋
You might come home with a beautiful bouquet… but you’ll leave with a little bit of the magic, too. 💛
Come pick some flowers and see who’s fluttering through the U-Pick today! 🌸🍄🦋
