I have been talking about Kitchen Pride Mushrooms for a while now. I learned about KPMF over a year ago and have been seeking them out at a local farmers market to buy them. They are grown about 75 miles from my house, but that didn’t stop my from visiting their farm and arranging a tour for a local garden club that I am a member of. It just seems like I can’t get enough of them and here I am talking about them again.

I didn’t know (until KPMF told me) that September is Mushroom Month. Not only did they tell me about Mushroom Month, but they also wanted to send me a sampling of mushrooms as a thank you. They wanted to say thank you for helping to spread the word about Kitchen Pride Mushrooms.
Up until the gift box arrived I have been purchasing my mushrooms from them because I wanted to and I will continue to do so because I like supporting a local business and I really enjoy their mushrooms. This was the first gift I have received from them and they wanted me to know that it was just a gift, a thank you, and I was under no obligation to write about them or the gift.
I’m just a girl with a little blog that likes to talk about eating local food, sewing, my cats, plants and more and I will continue to tell you about the mushrooms from Kitchen Pride Mushroom Farm because I like them. In fact, I am hoping to get over tot he farm in the next few weeks and pick up a load of mushroom compost to use in my gardens!
A few weeks ago I was talking on the phone with Kay who does public relations for KPMR and during our conversation I learned she had living in Minnesota for a while. Small world, I moved to MN when I was 10 year old. We talked about MN things and wild rice came up ad recipes using wild rice. One thing led to another and there I was making another version of stuffed peppers using wild rice and Kitchen Pride Mushroom Farms beautiful mushrooms. Thanks for the inspiration Kay!
What a local meal it was!
- White button mushrooms – Kitchen Pride Mushrooms Farm
- Wild rice – from MN (local when I bought it in MN)
- Peppers – from the garden (still picking a lot of them)
- Onion – from my garden, harvested this past spring
- Cheese – used some that I made using local milk and some store bought (not local)
I love the earthy flavors that the mushrooms bring paired with the nutty flavor of the wild rice.
With mushrooms on my mind and in my fridge a few weeks ago, I have had some wonderful meals. I know next week I will post another one where mushrooms made an appearance.

Oh cool! I didn’t know September was mushroom month either, and how nice of KPMF to send you a token of gratitude. That’s something I love about eating locally — getting to speak with the farmers/growers/ranchers of the food I buy. In this case–your local mushroom hunters! Your dish looks fantastic too.
Hi Angela – I didn’t know it either. I would love it if every month was mushroom month! Thanks for stopping by.
So Sept. is National Mushroom month! I didn’t know that either. Your stuffed peppers sure look good and those mushrooms look so yummy. What a nice company to deal with. Nancy
HI Nancy. I did like using the mushrooms in the stuffed peppers with the wild rice. I think my favorite way to eat mushrooms is just plain sauteed in butter. Just thinking about it makes me drool.
Looks like we both had mushrooms on our mind 🙂 sadly I don’t get them by the box like you!
Victoria, I have read the post you did on your meal with mushrooms. I loved it. They looks so so good.
