Fresh Discoveries: Mushrooms Straight from the Peak District

Introducing: Peak District Mushroom Farm and Pantry

 

With a love of food, cooking and gardening, Sami and her team set up Peak District Mushroom Farm & Pantry, growing their own oyster mushrooms from start to end on site using sustainable methods.

The Farm’s range of products include an array of mouthwatering seasonings, dried mushrooms, and salts, including Black Truffle and Oyster and Shiitake varieties. Just a tiny pinch delivers a burst of delicious, savoury flavour. You can also soak their dried oyster mushrooms and use them like ordinary ones in stews or stir fries.

All products are hand blended in small batches – oyster mushrooms are cold smoked and dried before being added to their unique blends. Where possible, Sami and her team grow or make all their own ingredients to give all their offerings that unique umami flavour, so there’s no need for artificial flavours.
