In 2013, Heather and Jimmy Horton planted the seeds of what would become Champlain Valley Mushrooms, a small business nestled in the verdant landscape of Orwell, Vermont. The Hortons built their venture on a simple yet profound dedication: growing fresh gourmet and medicinal mushrooms for all to enjoy.
Champlain Valley Mushrooms has grown beyond simply cultivating these earthy treasures. The farm transforms their medicinal mushrooms into carefully crafted tinctures, harnessing the natural healing properties that have been valued for centuries. For those who cannot make the journey to local farmer's markets, they thoughtfully dry their mushrooms, creating shelf-stable versions that allow customers to keep these nutrient-dense staples in their pantries year-round.
The Hortons have established themselves as trusted purveyors throughout the Champlain Valley region, bringing their fresh harvests to markets in Rutland and Dorset, while partnering with local food cooperatives to ensure their mushrooms reach tables across Vermont. Their commitment to quality and accessibility reflects a deeper understanding that good food should be available to everyone in their community.
