About

Swan Creek Farm cultivates both functional and gourmet mushrooms. “We created an experiential retail store so that visitors can get a glimpse behind the scenes and see into our cultivation lab, colonization room, and fruiting chamber,” explains the owner, Dr. Catherine Browne.

Inside the century-old barn that serves as the store, they offer organic functional mushroom coffee, teas, and extracts. Dr. Browne emphasizes, “Our customers appreciate being able to source their wellness products locally, as nearly all functional mushrooms sold online, such as lion’s mane, cordyceps, and turkey tail, are grown in China”. The store also offers fresh gourmet mushrooms, delicious mushroom jerky, and umami seasonings.

The apothecary produces approximately 80 remedies inspired by Chinese medicine, reflecting Dr. Browne’s background. “I am a Doctor of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (DAOM). And in a previous era of my life, I was an organic herb farmer. This venture represents the culmination of my 40 years of professional experience coming together in a fun-filled retirement project,” she explains.
