Welcome to the market!
Ordering takes place each week from Friday at 9 p.m. to Monday at 10 a.m.
We will have only two options at pickup going forward:
Curbside pickup — We will have orders pre-packed for you and have runners to deliver your orders to your car from 4:30-6pm at the Sewanee Community Center. We will have your account total available and paying by check is more efficient for us at this time. We will also be accepting payment via Venmo to Rooted-Here. Please be patient with us as we implement this new system.
Delivery option — If you are unable or would rather not participate in our curbside pickup option, you can choose to have your order delivered. Please add delivery to your order if you prefer this option. If you haven’t placed an order yet, include your delivery details as a note to the market managers and our delivery folks as you submit your order. Deliveries will happen after 6 on Tuesday. We ask that delivery customers please pay by venmo at the time of delivery to Rooted-Here. You will see a charge on your account that will be zeroed out upon receipt of your venmo payment. Your delivery will include a printed invoice with your order total. If you are outside the Sewanee/Monteagle area, please send an email to cumberlandfm@gmail.com and we will try our best to work out a delivery option.
You may search for products by category, by best sellers, or by farm. Happy Shopping!

Pink Oyster Mushrooms, fresh (1 lb)Grower: Midway Mushrooms
Price: $14.00 ( 1 lb )Available (Estimated): 49
The visually stunning pink oyster mushroom
(Pleurotus djamor) has a wonderful chewy texture and a flavor that’s been compared to wild-caught salmon! Pink oysters make for an excellent pasta centerpiece, add amazing flavor to rice and risotto, and of course are superb simply sauteed in butter or oil!
Native to the tropics, such as in central Mexico, P. djamor thrives in slightly warmer temperatures than its blue and golden cousins. Rodent studies suggest that it may have important immune-boosting and cholesterol-buffering properties. Incredibly tenacious, pink oysters can grow from near-microscopic pin to fully-developed floret in a matter of days! These mushrooms are somewhat ephemeral by comparison with the other oysters and are best consumed within a few days after harvesting.
Pink oysters, like their golden, blue, and other cousins, grow saprophytically (on dead and dying trees). At Midway Mushrooms, we simulate these natural conditions within a climate-controlled indoor environment. Our mycophile growers load nutritionally enhanced sawdust substrate into polypropylene bags for sterilization before inoculating bags with live mycelium hand-selected for quality and vigor. Inoculated bags are carefully incubated before fruiting under parameters tweaked for healthy, happy mushroom growth!
Midway Mushrooms is a certified Produce Safety Alliance farm. Our gourmet mushrooms are grown from recycled agricultural and forestry byproducts.
