Mushrooms—The Season’s Savory Side

Partnering for Organics

Because the D’Amico family is dedicated to energy and water conservation, and sustainable growing methods (for example, they recycle 40,000+ tons of farm by-products annually), we asked them to grow organic mushrooms just for us. “Wegmans has been a pioneer in making organics go mainstream. We felt like we had a true partner because they were so helpful and supportive when we transitioned a dedicated facility and team to organics,” says Joe. By 2014, they had converted an existing farm to a PA Organic Certified facility for growing organic mushrooms. Today, about 80% of all their organic mushroom production is delivered to our stores!
