Yamabushi Farms

Yamabushi Farms is a community-driven urban mushroom farm located in the heart of Jefferson Park, Los Angeles. Founded by three friends, our mission is to provide delicious, affordable, and sustainable Lion’s Mane mushrooms to our local community while fostering education, environmental stewardship, and access to fresh, healthy food in underserved neighborhoods.

We proudly grow our mushrooms in a warehouse and sell them at local farmer’s markets, small grocery stores like Suprmarkt in Crenshaw, and restaurants including N/Naka, Shojin, and Crytal’s Soul Food Cafe. We also offer our mushrooms and packaged goods at Brentwood Farmer’s Market, Echo Park Farmer’s Market, and Topanga Farmer’s Market.

Beyond food production, we prioritize giving back to our community by donating used mushroom grow bags to Teapot Community Gardens, which are transformed into fertilizer and compost for vibrant urban gardens near West Adams. Additionally, we actively engage in educational outreach, teaching children and adults about sustainable food systems and the incredible world of fungi.

At Yamabushi Farms, we believe in building a healthier, more connected future where fresh, sustainable food is grown right here in our neighborhoods, and everyone has a seat at the table.
