Monterey Mushrooms® has 7 farms strategically located across North America. We provide all major US cities with fresh, locally-grown mushrooms year round.
In 1971, Monterey Mushrooms® started as a single mushroom farm in Watsonville, Calif. The company has since expanded to seven locations in the United States and Mexico and offers a variety of fresh mushroom products.
Monterey Mushrooms is known for popularizing the portabella, arguably the tastiest of all fungi. Other extraordinary innovations include a patented “sunlight” system that naturally enriches mushrooms with high levels of vitamin D.
Monterey Mushrooms grows the finest quality mushrooms using patented spawn varieties and growing supplements. The company’s farming and packing operations are strategically located to ensure that the freshest quality mushrooms are delivered to all major markets within three days of harvest.

When it comes to people, quality, efficiencies, and customer service, the company strives to be the best, because that is what mushroom enthusiasts expect. The company is dedicated to providing wholesome food and healthy working conditions, while minimizing the impact on the environment.
