We offer tours of our shiitake operation for $10.00 per person. Tours last about an hour. Also, be sure to visit our farm store while you are here! We make maple syrup, dried shiitake mushroom powder, medicinal mushroom tinctures, mushroom vinegar, herbal handmade soaps and of course we generally have fresh shiitakes- all for sale! We can have fresh shiitakes waiting for you when you arrive- just let us know by email.
Only 30 minutes from Ithaca, NY and 15 minutes to Watkins Glen or Trumansburg, the farm is situated between Cayuga Lake and Seneca Lake in the heart of the Finger Lakes wine country. Our property is at the end of a dead end road so it is very quiet and private, yet close to fine restaurants, wineries, the lakes and hiking!

What an amazing place! Plentiful firewood supply when we arrived (we did get an extra bundle when booking). The hosts were so kind and the tour was very interesting and informative. I highly suggest buying some of the Shiitakes grown on site, they’re absolutely divine! We also had the pleasure of hearing coyotes howl off in the distance!
I will absolutely be booking here again!
Had a fantastic stay at Steve and Anne’s during our first visit to the Finger Lakes! They’re very communicative and so welcoming of guests. Steve gave us some great recommendations for local fare. The campsites are private, set back in beautiful woodland, and Steve provides a generous amount of firewood. Steve was also very generous with his time, giving us an in-depth tour of his shiitake mushroom farm, that we absolutely loved! We will absolutely be back and look forward to our next stay.
Great spot for camping near a lot of the best hiking trails in Ithaca! Very convenient camping spots as well. Well-stocked with firewood and plenty of room. The picnic table is also a great touch!
Hosts are very kind and accommodating!
Everything! The site was beautiful, the hosts were communicative and friendly, and Steve went above and beyond to teach us about his work and share his property. We will be back!

Hi Marisa, So glad you enjoyed your stay with us! We would be glad to see you again!
Beautiful lands, wonderful host. Close to gorgeous hikes.

Glad you enjoyed your stay!
Ann and Steve were friendly and hospitable and their property is incredible. The site was so private and serene. We will definitely be back. Thank you for sharing your beautiful farm!



We look forward to seeing you again. And yes ...we count our blessings daily to live where we do!
This was my second time staying at the mushroom farm. I love camping here, its so peaceful and lovely to look up at the stars at night. I had a lot of fun walking around the creek and taking photos. Stay here, you won't regret it!

Thanks for the appreciative thoughts!
This is a unique place to camp. The landscape is so beautiful and serene. Steve and his wife are wonderful hosts. We enjoy the mushroom tours, Steve is so knowledgeable and enthusiastic, we learned so much from him.
We'd definitely recommend his camping site and the mushroom tour.

Glad that you enjoyed your time spent here!
We had a wonderful time camping here! The site was private and came with lots of wood for our campfires. Steve and Anne were so welcoming. The land is beautiful and we loved learning about mushroom cultivation on our tour with Steve. We took home some shiitakes, a medicinal tincture, and beautiful soaps made by Anne. We highly recommend camping here, meeting Steve and Anne, and taking the farm tour!




We enjoyed meeting you both and look forward to seeing you again! Glad you enjoyed you time here!
