The mushroom farm is nestled in UpCountry Makawao with views from Kahului Harbour to Ma'alaea.  The barns of the old Haleakala Dairy are now home to the only commercial mushroom farm on Maui.  The Chenelle family has been raising varieties of the Oyster (Pleurotus Ostreatus) specialty mushroom since 2002.  No, these are not the hallucinogenic kind – these are considered both a gourmet and a medicinal mushroom.  And no, we don’t feed them bull…. and keep them in the dark!  Indeed, our farm will be a surprise to most.  We use a unique technique to grow clusters of mushrooms that look more like flowers...

Our mushrooms are supplied to many restaurants on Maui whose chefs appreciate and demand the freshest ingredients to serve in their dining rooms.  Our mushrooms are also carried by various markets who support Maui farmers by providing the local population with a choice of fresh local grown produce.  In fact, they have even been transported to Oahu and Kauai by local mushroom lovers to bring as gifts from Maui, omiyage style, to friends and relatives!

Once you have made it down the old dairy road, the tour begins with a little education about growing mushrooms, a walk past the production equipment used in the process and a view of the growing rooms with live, fresh mushrooms.  A history of the farm from it's inception to the current "green" state of transition is discussed from the start of production through the stages of growth and a return "back to the earth" with the spent growing medium used as a soil amendment in the garden.  Talk with the owners (Rocky and Paulette) about mushrooms and their preparation.  Depending upon the market, they may even have some for you to purchase.  The tour ends with an opportunity to purchase farm products in the farm store.
