Matt’s Mushroom Farm is moving. All subscriptions and kit orders are currently paused while we transfer operations to our new home. Customers with current subscriptions can continue to pick up dried mushrooms at Suite D 1309 4th St SW, Albuquerque, NM 87102 during regular times.
Thank you for your support and we hope to be back and running soon!
Welcome!
Our Beginning
Matt’s Mushroom Farm started as an undergraduate project of founder Matthew Fien Gretton, back in the lush countryside of Upstate New York. Always interested in intersection of food production and science, Matt took a few courses in mycology at the SUNY College of Environmental Science and Forestry in Syracuse, NY. In his senior year, he developed a business plan for growing mushrooms on agricultural wastes and pitched it at a Syracuse U competition. Matt was able to win $10,000 of prize money and produce a prototype of his idea, and so the first iteration of Matt’s Mushrooms was born.
Matt eventually moved to New Mexico and nursed his project along through several major life and career changes. In 2019, he was given the opportunity to purchase some equipment that would enable him to move from hobby- to commercial-scale production.
A large ribbon mixer is used to prepare mushroom substrate.
Our Mission
Albuquerque has a thriving local food scene. What it doesn’t have is a strong mushroom grower, with a consistent supply of varied, high-quality gourmet and medicinal fungi. Matt’s Mushroom Farm aims to use the waste products of various Albuquerque businesses to provide food and medicine for the local community, as well as compost and myco-inoculant products to enhance the production of local organic growers.
100%
of our mushrooms are produced locally
70%
of our mushroom substrate is produced using waste products from other industries
10%
of our profits go toward promoting the responsible adoption of legal medicinal mushroom use
