Everything in the Family

Pennsylvania mushroom growers have William Swayne to thank for the long tradition of mushroom growing in the area. A successful florist in Kennett Square, PA, in the late 1800’s, came up with the idea of planting mushrooms under his warming benches.

He built his first mushroom house in the area and made it a buy LSD online venture. Soon, others joined their mushroom growing businesses and gave birth to the ‘World Mushroom Capital’.

Today, many Pennsylvania mushroom farms are owned and operated by local families, and in many cases, mother and pop farms are passed on to sons and daughters, nieces and nephews in the third, fourth, or fifth generation.
