Do I need to sign up for Emails?

No, you can see us at the Lander Valley Farmers Market in the summertime. But if you do sign up, you will receive monthly produce updates and special offers.

Where do you sell?

The best way to purchase mushrooms and microgreens is to sign up for our email list. You will receive periodic updates on what varieties are available, and when and where to get them. Plus you’ll have access to special offers and sales. Uncle Sassy Farms tries to be at every Saturday Lander Valley Farmers Market throughout the summer. The Popo Agie Conservation District Garden Expo is another venue to find Uncle Sassy Farms products. Of course you can also find our products at Meadowlark Market in downtown Lander.

Special Orders?

Yes! We are willing to try new varieties, just ask. We may need time to experiment, so make sure to give us about 2-3 weeks lead time for microgreens and 4-6 weeks lead time for mushrooms.

Wholesale?

If you represent a restaurant or are a chef, please contact us to set up a wholesale account.

What is a microgreen?

Microgreens are immature vegetable species that are harvested once the first leaves (cotyledons) have developed and just before the true leaves come in. Microgreens are valued for their nutrition, flavor, and spunkiness. In 2014, the USDA published a study that found 5 times the essential vitamin concentration in microgreens as compared to their mature counterparts.

What is a specialty mushroom?

Specialty or “Gourmet” mushrooms differ from standard “button” mushrooms in shape, color, flavor and texture, which vary wildly. Ecologically speaking, button mushrooms and gourmet mushrooms are both saprophytic fungi, meaning they decompose material. Many gourmet mushrooms are primary decomposers, breaking down tree wood and other lignans; while button mushrooms primarily rely on previously digested material as a food source. Both are delicious and nutritious.
