Fruit of the Fungi

As a family business, Fruit of the Fungi is committed to growing and producing the finest gourmet mushrooms in Central New York.  The farming adventures began in 2005 when KC and Kristi Mangine bought their first home and 47 acres in Lebanon Center, New York.
Their objectives were clear. They were creating a sustainable family business that would provide a future for our family and the land we steward. KC and Kristi work together and value the integrity of hard work.  They strive to conserve our resources, not waste them.
In 2007, Their adventures led them to the amazing world of mushrooms. KC and Kristi found that gourmet mushrooms are an ideal local product.  Mushrooms are difficult to transport while maintaining quality. The established food system cannot compete with the taste, texture, or shelf-life of a fresh picked gourmet mushroom.  They promise to deliver only the highest quality mushrooms that we would be proud to serve to our own family.
