What's in the box: The site does not list box contents, but its CSA appears to center on the farm's own organic gourmet mushrooms and possibly its Berkshire pork.
Agape Organic Farms is a certified organic family farm in Michigan run by Shara LaFave with her two children, Philomena and Dominic. The farm describes itself as Black and woman owned, raises Berkshire pork, and grows gourmet mushrooms from culture to fruit, so it handles every stage of growing them. Its "No Bad Stuff Ever" promise and organic certification will appeal to shoppers who care about how their food is grown. The catch is that the website does not clearly describe a Mushroom of the Month Club. What it promotes is a CSA sign up, alongside meat and mushroom product pages. It does not say what a share contains, how often it arrives, what it costs, or whether it ships beyond Michigan. The farm mainly supplies Michigan restaurants, markets and local customers, so shoppers in other states should confirm delivery before signing up. The site footer still shows a 2021 copyright and the farm asks for support through GoFundMe, so expect a small operation rather than a polished subscription service. If you live near the farm and want fresh organic mushrooms from a grower who handles every stage, it is worth contacting them directly. If you want a mushroom growing kit mailed to you each month, ask first or look elsewhere.
