The Man Behind Orchard Valley Mushrooms

Wednesday, August 24, 2022

Julius Miller is the owner and operator of Orchard Valley in NE Georgia. Each week, he delivers those beautiful cremini & button mushrooms you'll find in your G&G meal kits and grocery orders! He told us a little about how he got started 10 years ago.

"We work with 4 growers and have been growing since 2012. I started out growing oyster mushrooms, and through growing met other growers. It's been a night and day change for me since I was in the advertising business as a creative director and in 3D carving most of my life. I guess I was just looking for a change and wanted to get more back to earth. My grandfather was a farmer and hand-made chairs. I guess I just wanted to be like him."
