Amazing tour of Mighty Cap

"Amazing tour of Mighty Cap Farm! Never thought mushroom world was a source of so much curious and exciting things! Spent lovely time with Chris and his wonderful wife. And then bought batches of one of the tastiest things we tried in our whole lives. Thank you!"

Fascinating Mushroom Adventure

"The business owner gave us a lot of information about mushroom cultivating and had a display of the different types that they grow. I bought the brown mushroom box as a birthday gift for my 57 year old son; he and his family viewed it as an interesting science project watching the mushrooms emerge and grow. I cooked them and they were delicious. A very cool and reasonably priced gift for a friend or family member!"

Just finished my third crop

"Just finished my third crop of my mushrooms! It is so fun the watch these things grow. I harvested 1. 5 pounds! And having extra fresh mushrooms is always a treat."

Totally worth it

"I learned so much about mushrooms today, and I already knew a lot. Anyone that has desire to know more about mushrooms, how they're grown, why you should eat them (including medicinal qualities), why these are so much fresher than the mushrooms you get in the market, should take a tour. It's truly amazing and the tour guide (the owner) really knows his stuff!! And the retail store is amazing."

My husband and I LOVED

"My husband and I LOVED this tour! It was so informative and up-close! We have grown all of the oyster mushrooms before, but now are awaiting 'pins' to appear on our Lion's Mane! Such fun! We also bought lots of fun stuff at the store! What a great business! We also love that it is in Tin City! We will visit again when we are in town! Thanks again for sharing your story!

"Such a fun experience and really informative on the process of growing / selling mushrooms on the central coast. The owners are extremely nice and very knowledgeable about farming mushrooms. And to top it all off, they've got a amazing gift shop with lots of mushroom themed goodies, including super tasty mushrooms grown at the farm! 10/10 recommend checking stoping by and taking a tour!"

Absolutely Amazing

"I had an amazing experience on the mushroom farm tour! It was incredibly informative, interactive, and professionally run. I learned so much about mushrooms — from how they’re grown to their many uses. You can truly see the passion and knowledge behind everything they do. Such a fun and educational experience, and I highly recommend it to anyone who’s curious about farming, cooking, healthy living, or just loves learning something new!"
