About Top Hat Mushrooms

In the early 1970s, John Gillette Sr. Purchased a farm outside the small town of Scio, Oregon. Situated on the western foothills of the Cascade Mountains, from where the freshwater creek running through the property originates. We have made a lot of improvements on the 200+ acre farm since those early years when we produced lumber from the farm for the original buildings. There are now 3 generations working and living on the farm. Top Hat Mushrooms’ growing facilities are ever expanding and include computer-controlled environments to take advantage of the natural outdoor conditions.  We are relentless in our drive to improve efficiency while never wavering on our commitment to produce top quality mushrooms 365 days a year for wholesale distribution throughout North America. Top Hat Mushrooms is the largest organic Shiitake grower west of the Mississippi.
