Chestnut Mushrooms
Chestnut mushrooms are similar to our native field mushrooms, woody & mushroomy taste and a smooth texture. These are extremely versatile, serve with a traditional big breakfast, grilled or fried. Big chestnuts are delicious stuffed with either couscous or fried leek & goat cheese, they can even be enjoyed raw in salads.These mushroom are grown on a block of straw and compost. They should always be wiped clean with kitchen towel rather than being washed, and should always be stored in a paperbag.
Oyster
Oyster mushrooms are a very delicate mushrooms in flavour and texture. We grow 2 varieties, Golden & Grey Oysters, they both taste similar, but can add a splash of colour to a meal. They add a slightly smoky taste to a crostini, or lightly fried they look beautiful in a mushroom risotto or garlic mushroom dish.

Shiitake were our first mushroom, and are still the most popular choice with Chefs and our customers."Shiitake", or translated Shii= Tree Take=Mushroom is a mushroom native to Asia where they have been cultivated on logs for centuries, over the last few years the process that we use was developed to cultivate the Shiitake on blocks of woodchip & saw dust.
Shiitake is a “fleshy” mushroom, ideal as a meat replacement in vegetarian and vegan cooking. The distinct flavour works excellently in Asian cooking, try some fresh Shiitake in a stir-fry, and also in our traditional meals, experiment with the dried Shiitake in a chicken & mushroom pie, or to enrich a beef casserole.
Shiitake is wildly used in the East for medicinal purposes with their immune boosting qualities, and there has been a great amount of research recently into Shiitake's positive use in the fight against cancer.
