Mike and Samantha Joseph catch a break in the middle of their busy day selling mushrooms.
Discover Windy Wild Acres in the small town of Kansas, Ohio…
Meet 3rd generation farmer Mike Joseph and his wife Samantha.
The dream of Windy Wild Acres actually started with a pilot hop yard in Grand Rapids, Ohio back in 2017.
In 2020, with many years of experience growing fruits and vegetables, Mike and Samantha decided to get back to their roots.
They packed up and moved to the family farm which has been in business for over 79 years.

Many things influenced this decision…
Mike received his first mushroom grow kit as a gift in 2017 which began the idea of producing them.
In 2022, they started their farm with the goal of producing high quality, nutrient dense mushrooms, as well as fresh cut flowers, herbs, and produce.
You’ll find that they have many unique varieties of gourmet mushrooms to choose from and be more excited to learn that you can now add this bountiful harvest to your CSA Market Boxes.
