Ugly Barn Farm is a small family farm based in northern Ontario and one of the first, year-round mushroom facilities in the north. At the Ugly Barn Farm, Ivan and Brittany specialize in gourmet mushrooms, cultivated in their mushroom growing facility, heated by renewable materials. They produce their mushrooms without the use of pesticides and source as much material locally as possible. They are also passionate in wildcrafted foods like blueberries, fiddleheads, spruce buds, and of course mushrooms!
