Southwest Mushrooms Featured in Arizona PBS Documentary

Excited to share this one with you all — Southwest Mushrooms was featured in "The Story of Arizona's Good Food," a full-length documentary produced by Local First Arizona and premiered on Arizona PBS.

The film is a 55-minute deep dive into Arizona's food system — the farmers, growers, and producers working to feed our community while navigating real challenges like water scarcity and farmland loss. There's a segment on how mushrooms are made (that's us!) alongside some incredible Arizona producers like Duncan Family Farms, Machokoto Family Farms, Blue Sky Farms, and many more.

It's a powerful reminder of why local food systems matter and why what we do as growers — whether commercial scale or closet grows — is part of something bigger.

Would love to hear your thoughts after watching. What part resonated with you? Did anything surprise you about the challenges facing Arizona agriculture?
