Monterey Mushrooms, Inc. was initially established in 1971 as a single farm operation in Royal Oaks, California. Today, this multi-site business is headquartered in Watsonville, California, and has production, sales and administrative offices, internationally. Monterey is the country’s largest and only national marketer of fresh mushrooms, supplying products for sale to supermarkets, foodservice and ingredient manufacture operations, and for preparation of processed, canned, and frozen mushroom products. In 1999, the company furthered its expansion into the Midwestern and Southeastern regions via the acquisition of mushroom farms in Princeton, Illinois, and Orlando, Florida. Monterey also continued its expansion in the Pacific Northwest via contracted pounds from Canada - all pounds are packed and distributed under the Monterey Mushrooms label.
