Gourmet's Delight Mushroom Farm

N4970 Mushroom Farm
Eden, WI 53019 Gourmet's Delight

Rich & John Floyd have been farming mushrooms with their families for 24 years. Together these brothers have mastered the art of growing chemical-free mushrooms, a significant feat in the produce world.

Gourmet’s Delight raises their mushrooms in an indoor facility of about 20,000 square feet (not quite one and one-half football fields). Rich tends mostly to growing and sales and John to harvesting, crew management, and composting. For the past 21 years, Becky, Rich’s wife, has been in charge of the farm’s involvement in the Madison, WI Farmers’ Market. John’s wife, Barb, oversees bookwork and payroll and also pitches in for harvesting. The two couples have seven kids between them. Rich and Becky are parents to Emily, 21, Teresa, 17, and Peter, 10. John and Barb have Josie, 19, Hannah, 18, Simon, 16, and Ella, 14. The kids help out between school and other activities. There is also a crew of about 15 workers who help keep things running smoothly.
