I’m extremely happy to announce that, as of today, our mushrooms are available for purchase at AJ‘s Food Mart. If you are not yet familiar with AJ’s you are missing out!

AJ’s Market is a locally owned and operated market that has been around since 1987. It has a grocery store that features fresh produce (like fresh mushrooms), locally baked bread, dry goods and a diverse dairy selection. They also offer a wide range of organic and gluten-free products, not to mention international cuisine.

AJ's offers one of the most diverse menus you can find. Mouth-watering cheeseburgers served up on buns from Aldo's, as well as the deep Mediterranean flavor of their Gyros and Shawarma! You can even fill up your tank or get your car washed while you are there!
