These mushrooms were grown at Sharondale Farm in Albemarle County by grower Mark Jones. Mark grows a variety of mushrooms, including oyster and shiitake.

Mushrooms are low in fat and calories. They also are full of vitamins and antioxidants and can help boost your immune system. For more information on the health benefits of mushrooms, visit the Mushroom Council’s website.
