Join the Mushroom Revolution!
Stoney Creek Mushrooms, Ferndale’s James Beard Award-winning gourmet mushroom farm, is hiring passionate folks to join our tight-knit, farm-family crew. Michigan’s mushroom industry is booming, and this is your chance to dive into mushroom cultivation with no experience needed. We grow top-quality Lion’s Mane, Blue Oysters, and many others for chefs across Michigan and Ohio, and we need YOU to help us keep the fungi flowing!
What You’ll Do:
No two days are the same in our fast-paced, hands-on farm:
- Bag substrate, sterilize it, and “spawn” mushrooms like a mycology wizard-in-training.
- Diagnose and battle sterilization issues to keep our grow rooms (aka the “nursery”) thriving.
- Learn when each mushroom species is ready to fruit and harvest with precision for top chefs.
- Work closely with our sales and distribution team to ensure restaurant-ready quality.
- Get dirty with physical tasks (lifting up to 50 lbs, standing, bending, and being in a humid environment).
No experience? No problem! We train you from the ground up!
Who You Are:
- Ready for hard, rewarding work in sustainable agriculture (18+, able to lift heavy stuff).
- A team player who loves a dynamic, small-business vibe with a farm-family feel.
- Mushroom enthusiasts are our jam, but if you just want to learn, we’re here for it!
- Excited to grow (pun intended) in a role with advancement potential, every leader here started as a cultivator!
