Company description

Tivoli Mushrooms was started in 2018 by a chef who has since gathered a team of other former chefs, builders, creatives and an engineer who have come together to put our combined energies into cultivating the highest quality mushrooms. We are a diverse group of people brought together by the love of working with mushrooms. Together we built a mushroom farm in the Hudson River Valley that was specially designed for large scale mushroom farming. All of our production is in-house. We hands-on formulate, sterilize, pasteurize and inoculate all of our mushroom substrate and at capacity we will harvest over 10,000 lbs of mushrooms weekly.  

We forage for seasonally available local wild mushrooms, greens and berries. We have partnered with Foraged and Found Edibles in Seattle Washington, an established west coast wild food purveyor to bring in specialties from the Pacific NW year round. 

In addition to the farm in Hillsdale, we have an office + lab in Hudson, NY where we craft medicinal tinctures (GO Mushrooms) and an awesome sales team at our distribution center in the Pfizer Building in Brooklyn, NY.
