Our Story

When the mind of an environmentalist and a chef meet you get mushrooms… apparently.

Hey there, my name is Pat. In 2024 my partner Nichole and I started Scrumptious Caps.

Having worked in culinary for 10+ years I’ve had the opportunity to work with many amazing ingredients. Yet out of all the ingredients to cross my pan, many gourmet mushrooms varieties have stood out to me as something special. They have the ability to add so much value and character to any dish they are incorporated in.

After many long nights away from my family, stuck in the kitchen, I was ready for a change. I proposed the idea of growing our own mushrooms and seeing if we could create a better lifestyle then the one we’ve become so accustom to. We thought about it for some time, then we struck a cord.

Nichole has a background in environmental activism. Working with groups in our local community to advocate and raise awareness for sustainable living. She’s seen the strange ways companies have tried to get around farming’s sustainability problem. Even inadvertently making it worse, such as in the case of lab grown meat. So upon learning how you could produce food for our community in a carbon negative fashion and have access to tasty ingredients at the same time, it was an easy choice for the both of us.

Today we work to provide you with the highest quality gourmet mushrooms you can find, while making progressive change in our local environment.

Currently we…

• Purchase 95% of our growing supplies locally. Reducing unnecessary transport of goods.
• Package all of our fresh mushrooms in 100% recycled materials.

…and we are not stopping there!

We have taken it upon ourselves to spread awareness of sustainable farming and to recruit help in the fight for our planet.

We invite you to join us on one of the most fulfilling adventures we have ever taken.

Shop local, choose sustainably farmed produce, and grow with us.

Sincerely,

Nichole & Pat
