Heads up to everyone local, there is someone going around using a fake version of my drivers license to rip off car dealerships. It's happened three times recently, twice in ABQ and once in Cruces. If someone with my name contacts you, please confirm by calling 5857504432 and if it's actually me you'll see me pull out my phone and take the call. The scammer has been using my business Google voice number which is now disconnected.

I have 30 extra lbs of oyster mushrooms (came in early) that I'd like to sell to eager home cooks or busy restaurants ahead of Thanksgiving.
Price is $15/lb. Any quantity OK. You can also call 5857504432 to order.

If nobody buys in going to make a monster vat of gravy.

Prof. Pepper got a mushroom kit for Christmas and stashed it away until he began growing his tomato seeds. These beautiful blue oyster mushrooms grew in about a week! We love mushrooms and eat them at least once a week. These will go into soups, stir fries, frittatas, pizzas. Matt's Mushroom Farm New Mexico Harvest

Our Beginning & Our Mission

Albuquerque has a thriving local food scene. What it doesn’t have is a strong mushroom grower, with a consistent supply of varied, high-quality gourmet and medicinal fungi.

Matt’s Mushroom Farm aims to use the waste products of various Albuquerque businesses to provide food and medicine for the local community, as well as compost and myco-inoculant products to enhance the production of local organic growers.

Matt’s Mushroom Farm started as an undergraduate project of founder Matthew Fien Gretton, back in the lush countryside of Upstate New York. Always interested in intersection of food production and science, Matt took a few courses in mycology at the SUNY College of Environmental Science and Forestry in Syracuse, NY. In his senior year, he developed a business plan for growing mushrooms on agricultural wastes and pitched it at a Syracuse U competition. Matt was able to win $10,000 of prize money and produce a prototype of his idea, and so the first iteration of Matt’s Mushrooms was born.

Matt eventually moved to New Mexico and nursed his project along through several major life and career changes. In 2019, he was given the opportunity to purchase some equipment that would enable him to move from hobby- to commercial-scale production. Matt established a business relationship with Jesse Kalapas, an entrepreneur and local food advocate, to set up his farm near the beautiful Casa Rondeña Winery in Los Ranchos de Albuquerque, New Mexico. The Farm is now moving forward with its first season of production.
