🍄 FARM TO FORK | EPISODE 2 🥐

What happens to our mushrooms after they leave the farm?

For Episode 2 of our Farm to Fork series, we’re at the Friends of Bowie Farmers Market, where we caught up with Sweet Treats DMV and Chef Towanda—and she did something with our Blue Oyster Mushrooms that we definitely had to taste.

She turned them into a Mushroom Danish. 🍄🥐

Yes… a Danish.

Chef Towanda took our locally grown Blue Oyster Mushrooms and transformed them into a pastry that shows just how versatile mushrooms can be in the hands of a creative chef.

That’s what Farm to Fork is all about: following our mushrooms beyond the farm and exploring the unexpected ways local chefs and food businesses are putting their own spin on what we grow.

Grown by EightFold Farms DC.
Transformed by Sweet Treats DMV.
From our farm to their kitchen—and into something completely unexpected.

Would you try a Mushroom Danish? 👀🍄
