Willow Mountain Mushrooms ~ The Shroom Shack

Nestled in the Ozark Mountains of Southern Missouri, Willow Mountain Mushrooms has been providing gourmet quality mushrooms since 2004.

Using only Natural means to grow our mushrooms we maintain a high quality mushroom FULL of natural flavor not chemicals.

While other producers concentrate on a long shelf life by using chemicals ~

Willow Mountain Mushrooms specializes in delivering fresh picked mushrooms directly to you thereby avoiding the distribution system and the time it sits on your local stores shelf.

In doing this we maintain the mushrooms wonderful natural flavor that many people have told us they have never tasted before in store bought mushrooms.

Organic Produce Co-op

Organic Produce boxes delivered to your home, work, co-op meeting place or pick up point.

We offer a wide variety of boxes starting at the $20 level ~ Basic mixed boxes, veggie only, fruit only, snack/raw eating, juicing, Dried nut and fruit and add on's are available each week.

Each Wednesday we send an email letting you know what to expect in the following weeks box.

Standing orders are highly suggested, but not required. You can customize your standing order each week... or just 'know' that it will be there on your delivery day.

Being centrally located ... we deliver to Mountain Home, Gainesville and Theodosia on Wednesdays and to West Plains and Willow Springs on Thursdays.

Our supplier is unique in its approach to acquiring produce for the Co-op. The founders are farmers that got together in 2005 to create a co-op to help distribute their products. So, what they do is get products from smaller family farms first, many of which have CSA's, and then fill in the blanks with larger organic farms. Our goal is to do the same thing... utilize Ozark growers then fill in the blanks with what the supplier has to offer utilizing the smaller farms that they work with first.

To get started please fill in our contact form with the type of box you wish to order order, phone number and start up date and we will send you an email to confirm your order.

Look forward to meeting you!

Blessings,

The Semyck Family

Organic Produce boxes for this week....

As some of you know, we are putting together organic produce boxes weekly. We have drop off points and home delivery in Mountain Home, Gainesville, and West Plains.

Once we get set up you pay for the following weeks box at the time we drop off your order. So, your first week you pay us for first order and the following weeks main box at the time we deliver your order... delivery will be on Friday or Saturday. If you live outside of Mountain Home we will have a pickup point/time at the MH Farmers Market location.

The distributor we are working with works directly with small family farms (many of which have CSA's of their own) like our own that are certified organic first then fill in the blanks with larger farms.

A small box that does nicely for 1-2 people is $20. You can get them at any $10 incremental level from there. You may specify a box meant for diabetics or other special needs. You will read more on this below in the message I sent to the people already getting the boxes.

We work hard to get the most bang for your buck and rotate what we get in. For instance... one week we may get in broccoli and the next cauliflower. Our goal is to offer a wide assortment of in season organic fruits and vegetables on a weekly basis.

If you need to take a break from produce deliveries, you will NOT be charged for the time you are not receiving produce.

Note attached photo. It shows a sample of a $30 box. This is just a sample. Produce will vary from week to week.
Contents of this $30 box were:
2 Romaine
1 celery
3 tomatoes
5 avocado
2+ bunches of bananas
2 pounds of red seedless grapes
1 cauliflower
4 juicing oranges
2 - 8 oz packages of our white button mushrooms
5# of sweet red onions
2# of Brussels Sprouts

Also.... think gift ideas... we are also offering bags of produce as a gift for Christmas etc. The produce will be delivered in a re-usable decorative tote/bag with a bow and card if you would like.

You can order these as:
  • $15 Organic Fruit
  • $25 Organic Fruit and Veggies
  • or whatever amount you would like!
The bags will be filled with in season fruits and veggies and there are options available to add gluten free mixes such as corn bread and brownie mix. As well as wonderful treats ~ Carob Coconut Balls and Coconut Date Rolls that we make here!


~~~~~~~~~~
Letter I sent to people already receiving boxes yesterday:
~~~~~~~~~~

The feed back has been wonderful... Thank You So Much!!!... I'm so glad that our work can fill a need.
Let your friends and neighbors know... then we can do 'neighborhood deliveries'! Feel free to pass on this email and have them contact us for more information.

This week in produce:

We are getting Bananas, Red Grapefruit, red grapes, Granny Smith and Cameo Apples, rainbow bunching carrots and or standard orange (I was sent a new price sheet this morning and the rainbow are not on it- called and put them on my 'wish list' - we will see - they may be able to find some for us), Red Leaf Lettuce, Navel oranges from Uncle Matt's (yummy citrus!), Celery, Golden Cauliflower from Coke Farms, Super Colossal Garlic from Christopher Ranch and Delicata or Green Acorn Squash from Full Circle. (Thinking acorn due to price, but does anyone have a preference?) It depends on how many orders we get as to if we get the squash. (items may change due to availability)

You may request 1/2 cases or full cases of any product. Even something I don't have listed above!
Also, if you would like to get 5 or 10# of something that we are ordering you can specify to add to your $20 or 30 box a 5# bag of granny smith (for instance). Or if you would like an additional 10 pounds of carrots you can request to "add 10 #'s of carrots to my $20 worth of produce" - that gives you an additional 10# of carrots added to your $20 box - which would add to your existing total of $20.

Also, if you see something on our produce list that you do NOT want.... please let me know. I write out note cards for everyone's boxes and put notes on them so that I fill them to your needs. It takes a little longer to do that, but we'd rather you get something you will use.

Things you may request to be part of or added on to (please specify) your $20 or $30 box are:
  • 6 oz box of blueberries from Aw Sum Organics $5.92 each... please note these are the larger 6 oz clamshells
  • Frisee lettuce (curly French endive) from Coke Farms $2.23 each
  • Bartlett pears 3# bags from First Fruits $4.13 each
  • Potato, Yellow #2 from White Mountain Farm in CO 50 pound for $33.40 or 25# for $16.70
  • Juicing carrots in 5# lots $5 per bag
  • Cabbage, Red comes 4 to a case.... we would try to fill a case combining everyone's 'need' on this one.$6.68 per head from Full Circle Farms in CA -
  • Cucumbers from Eagle Springs CO there are 36 cucumbers to a case. $1.59 per cuke. Request how many you would like, if we are even close to filling the case I will be able to get it in.
  • Tangelos 1/2 case for $18.05 -- full case for $36.10 (a case is 18-20 pounds ) So yummy (we got them in last week) I wanted to offer them by the 1/2 and whole case lots this time around.
  • Serrano Pepper - by the pound $5.35 (need to sell 10#'s to fill a case - no guarantees, but thought I would put them out there. If we order it I will let you know to expect them.): "Their flavor is crisp, bright, and biting, notably hotter than the Jalapeño pepper they resemble, and they are typically eaten raw. Serrano peppers are also commonly used in making pico de gallo.[1] It is one of the most used chiles in Mexico."
All prices include sales tax and applicable fees. No hidden costs! :) happy

Let me know what you would like.... Hit reply, let me know what size box you would like delivered this week, make any additions or requests and hit send! I finalize the order with our produce supplier on Tuesday directly after lunch and it gets to Springfield for us to pick up late Thursday. We make deliveries Fri/Sat depending on your location.

Look forward to seeing your email! Don't forget to 'share' the news!

Blessings!
Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!
