Wow! What a disappointment!
To be upfront I did not try any of their mushrooms, because once I got done talking to the owner of this place I would never support a business with such a jerk as an owner. I currently live in WA, but grew up in CO. I came out here to visit some family and wanted to stop by here, as it is the only mushroom farm in CO, and learn a little bit more about the mushroom business. We just purchased some land and are looking into the business ourselves. We wanted some advise from someone who has been doing it for a while, as well as touts himself to be an expert in the field.
Well I hope he doesn't know too much that others don't, because when this guy dies so does his knowledge. He states he is not interested in helping anyone get into the business, even though our market would never interfere with his. He went so far as to lie about the information he did give, as it contradicts even the information on his website. Example: he only produces around 2-3 thousand lbs of mushrooms a year (I verified this number 3 times in our conversation). Even at retail pricing thats $20k a year. I saw at least 2 employees, in the retail shop, or maybe it's a sweat shop and he just houses Hispanics on the property.
Idk, either way he was such an unhappy, miserable soul, I hope that's not what I have to look forward to if we do decide to do this venture.
