Muskoka is flourishing with oak trees and it makes for the perfect location for shiitake (Japanese for oak) mushrooms. Windy Acres Farm supplies select stores, resorts and restaurants with Shiitake Mushrooms. Mushrooms are all organic, grown on hardwood logs [the same way as the 600 year Japanese traditions] making for a much enhanced flavour as compared to the conventional shiitake grown year round on sawdust.
Season is from mid June till start of November. Farm sales by advance order, preferably 10 days as all logs are fruited on a timed cycle with weekly markets and chef demand. Products sold include mushroom caps, whole mushrooms, dried mushrooms, and dried mushroom extract used year round. A small greenhouse adds fresh, natural grown produce; mostly varieties of cherry tomatoes. Look for WINDY ACRES at local farmers’ markets!
Get a taste of fresh shiitake mushrooms from Windy Acres Farm at SAVOUR Muskoka’s Field-to-Fork Tasting Event on August 14th. For more details about the event and to purchase tickets, click here.
