In 2019, Graff and Herritt Farms was founded by a trio of visionaries – a father, a son, and a son-in-law – who sought to create a better life for themselves in the majestic Appalachian mountains. Nestled on 40 pristine acres in the picturesque Buladean area near Bakersville, North Carolina, their journey began with a profound love for the captivating world of mushrooms.
What started as a simple passion for mushroom foraging and cultivation quickly blossomed into an all-consuming obsession with all things fungi. Fuelled by Travis’ entrepreneurial spirit honed from running successful businesses for over 30 years, Jordan’s deep agricultural knowledge gained from his previous experience in the olive industry, and Zach’s exceptional skills in customer service and people management, the trio embarked on a business venture that seemed destined to succeed.
At Graff and Herritt Farms, their commitment to quality is unwavering. Their mushrooms are cultivated using 100% organic practices, ensuring that they are not only delicious but also wholesome.
