Good Roots: Mushroom Farming

“Good Roots” visits Fat Top Farm in Farmington, Arkansas, to see how mushroom farmers are fulfilling a niche demand from customers, chefs and supermarkets. Trey Baucum and Zach Taylor saw an untapped niche at the farmers market in Fayetteville, Arkansas, and they jumped in. What was missing at one of the country’s top 50 farmers markets? Mushrooms. The pair have been cultivating their business, Fat Top Farm, ever since. They usually grow about six varieties, all indoors, with precision. As their business grew, they began selling directly to chefs and at farmers markets, but demand would fluctuate, resulting in extra product that was susceptible to spoilage. With the help of local chef Matt Cooper from The Preachers Son in Bentonville, Arkansas, they started to develop recipes for mushroom jerky and broth. The Arkansas Food Innovation Center became an invaluable resource to get their products approved to sell at a wholesale level. The nonprofit The Food Conservancy has helped Fat Top Farm get their products on the shelves of supermarkets. This segment of “Good Roots” will give viewers an inside look at Fat Top Farm’s growing process, unique products and expansion opportunities. “Good Roots,” produced in partnership with Arkansas Farm Bureau, seeks to shine a light on Arkansas’s rich rural culture and communities. Segments focus on the real stories of rural life, while addressing relevant topics like agriculture, health care, the economy, technology, policy and more. The segment airs the second Friday of each month during “Arkansas Week.” Additional information is available at myarpbs.org/GoodRoots.
