A Mushroom Farm That Grows 'Shrooms As A Coffee Substitute Has Sprouted on the Edsel Ford Freeway Near Detroit's East Warren Community
New and Restored Businesses Are Popping Up Like Mushrooms on East Warren
Hey there! Found something interesting recently – BeShroomed Farms, a mushroom haven at Whittier and Harper, just across from Saint Matthew’s Catholic Church. They kicked off operations this summer and are already dishing out a variety of mushrooms, especially pushing this mushroom coffee mix with Turkey Tail, Reishi, and Lion's Mane for the health buffs.
Spotted the founder and partner at the East Warren Development Corporation meeting, where they shared insights into the mushroom world. Surprising, right? What's even cooler – the meeting went down at Cadieux Stage, an old film studio revamped in 2022, with a history dating back to 1937. Legends like Aretha Franklin and Kid Rock did their creative thing there. A bit unexpected in East English Village and Morningside, but a nice touch.
If you're up for a visit, swing by BeShroomed Farms at 16555 Harper, Detroit, MI 48224, right next to Vergote's Poultry & Fish Market – the farmers dig their chicken gizzards. They've got grow kits, sterile blocks, spawn bags, and all things mushroom-related. And yes, the mushroom coffee is a thing.
And if community discussions are your jam, check out the East Warren Development Corporation meetings. Last one buzzed with ideas about solar alleyway lighting and boosting foot traffic for weekend Christmas walks. Comerica Bank sent a squad of bankers looking for deals. See you around! 🍄👋
