Two River Shroom Boom:
The Only Organic Mushroom Farm in New Jersey
From the free-spirited days of Woodstock to the legendary power-ups of Mario Kart, mushrooms have long held a captivating place in pop culture.
We recently had the privilege of covering Two River Mushroom, an inventive hub where mycology meets sustainability, and tradition blends with innovation. We spoke with partner KC Sullivan (a real fun-gi) to learn more about their mission.
A Unique Ecosystem of Creativity
More than just a farm, @TwoRiverMushroom is a living laboratory — a gathering place for mushroom enthusiasts, local chefs, and eco-conscious innovators.
Our coverage explored how this vibrant community is redefining the relationship between fungi, food, and the environment through its urban foraging workshops and immersive farm-to-table pop-ups. Their work showcases the future of mycology, while celebrating and honoring its deep-rooted past.
Fungi as A Catalyst for Change
Mushrooms have long been celebrated for their culinary versatility and medicinal properties — but at Two River, they also symbolize transformation. We witnessed firsthand how local experts are harnessing fungi not only to create exquisite dishes, but also to promote environmental sustainability. Whether using mushroom-based products to reduce waste or pioneering natural remedies, the movement here is about much more than food — it’s a commitment to a healthier planet.
Community, Culture, and Sustainable Living
What truly sets Two River Mushroom Culture apart is its unwavering focus on connection. At the heart of our coverage was a network of individuals passionate about sharing knowledge, celebrating creativity, and building a sustainable future. Events and workshops served as vibrant hubs for discussion, collaboration, and inspiration — proving that when people come together, even the simplest elements of nature can spark remarkable innovation.
