Wild Easton's

At our family-owned business in Door County, we grow a variety of greens, microgreens, herbs, Bok Choy's, and mushrooms, and we occasionally introduce something even more exciting! Our microgreens selection includes Broccoli, Carrot, Dill, Pea, Radish, Sunflower, and Easton's Mix, which features a delightful assortment of micros that complement each other (mix changes weekly).  

Our Gourmet Salad Blend is crafted with locally sourced ingredients and includes an array of lettuces and other greens that are not only visually stunning but also incredibly healthy. Some of our current lettuce varieties include Merlot, Forellenschluss, Yedikule, May Queen, Crisp Mint, Flashy Butter Gem, Bronze Beauty, Black Seeded Simpson, and many more! Additionally, our other greens showcase beauties like Tatsoi, Bloody Dock Sorrel, Shungiku, Kale, Bok Choy's, and endive. We refresh our Gourmet Salad Blend weekly to ensure only the freshest and sweetest greens make it into the mix.  

Our mushrooms are cultivated on a master mix that does not use soil, rather than being grown hydroponically. Currently, we offer Blue oyster, King Blue oyster, Pink oyster, and Lion's Mane mushrooms, with plans to add King Trumpet Oysters, Coral Tooth, and Black Pearl oyster in the upcoming weeks.  

Additionally, we are excited to announce that we now have hydroponic tomatoes and cucumbers! This new venture is just beginning, so stay tuned to see how they turn out!

Microgreens, often seen in Door County's local markets, are essentially baby versions of larger veggies. These tiny greens are harvested at an earlier stage in their growth, making them rich in concentrated vitamins and nutrients. Unlike their larger vegetable counterparts that can take weeks or even months to mature, microgreens can be grown in just 7-10 days with significantly fewer resources. This efficiency is a hallmark of family-owned businesses that prioritize locally sourced ingredients, including fresh microgreens and gourmet mushrooms.

Well, they're yummy for starters! Since microgreens, often sourced from family-owned businesses in Door County, have a shorter growing cycle, they boast a more concentrated flavor. Their benefits are also concentrated—one study showed up to 40 percent more beneficial nutrients and components compared to their fully grown versions! Microgreens can supply calcium, iron, magnesium, and vitamins A, C, K, and beta carotene. They are also high in antioxidants and dietary fiber, which may support gut health. Additionally, some of the nutrients found in microgreens have been shown to promote heart health as well. Plus, when you pair them with locally sourced ingredients like mushrooms, you create a delicious and nutritious meal!

Microgreens, sourced from a family-owned business in Door County, are incredibly versatile due to their small size! They make an excellent garnish on meats or fish and are fantastic additions to sandwiches or wraps. You can incorporate them into soups, stews, and sauces, or enjoy them on scrambled eggs and in omelets. These microgreens really pack a punch in smoothies and can even be transformed into a super nutritious greens powder! Essentially, you can use them anywhere you would use full-size veggies, as well as in places you might not expect, like alongside locally sourced ingredients or even with mushrooms.

Mushrooms are the fruiting body of fungi and come in all kinds of shapes and sizes. Many of them are not only edible but also delicious! In Door County, a family-owned business might offer mushrooms that are foraged from the wild with knowledge and caution, or grown intentionally under specific conditions, sometimes even alongside micro greens, all using locally sourced ingredients.

Mushrooms are a low calorie food packed with numerous benefits! Depending on the variety, mushrooms can contain essential nutrients like copper, selenium, zinc, vitamin D, B6, and potassium. They also serve as a decent source of fiber, protein, and antioxidants. As a fantastic vegan option for meat substitutes, mushrooms offer a hearty texture that many enjoy. In Door County, a family-owned business specializes in cultivating mushrooms alongside other locally sourced ingredients, including micro greens. While there are a ton of medicinal benefits of mushrooms, we recommend doing your own research, as these claims haven't been evaluated by the FDA.

That's okay; not everyone has tried them. However, most people have only experienced about 4-5 of the roughly 14,000 mushroom species that exist on our planet. Mushrooms, which can be sourced locally, like those from family-owned businesses in Door County, offer a diverse array of tastes, textures, and flavors. If you're adventurous, you're sure to find a mushroom you love! And if the idea of eating them doesn’t appeal to you, consider drying your fresh mushrooms to create a delicious umami seasoning, perfect for enhancing dishes with locally sourced ingredients like micro greens.

Yes! The majority of the mushrooms sold by Wild Easton's, a family-owned business in Door County, are cultivated onsite in a sterile environment from reliable strains. While some of these mushrooms are sourced from wild foraged varieties, Andria is WMS Wild Mushroom Certified and trained to accurately identify them. When actual wild foraged mushrooms are available, they will come with all necessary documentation. It is also important to note that whenever trying mushrooms for the first time, you should only consume a small amount (about two tablespoons) and then wait 24 hours before eating more, as some individuals may have an allergic reaction to certain types of mushrooms. Additionally, we offer locally sourced ingredients and micro greens to complement our mushroom selections.
