Did you know our wine cap mushrooms are locally harvested right here in Indiana by a certified mushroom hunter / farmer-forager? Wine cap mushrooms are earthy and nutty tasting, making them a favorite of foodies everywhere.  

We are happy to support a vibrant regional food system by offering fresh, locally sourced ingredients to the customers of Acorn Acres Farms. We are grateful to all who make this possible!
