It certainly is if you are a beer drinker.

World’s First Trappist Mushrooms

June 16th, 2009

Mepkin Abbey Mushrooms

Mepkin Abbey Mushrooms

Over centuries, Trappists have gained a reputation for the quality of their produce. It is the way of life as outlined in the Rule of St. Benedict that brings about the atmosphere of attentiveness and care that makes such quality possible over time. We are grateful to announce that our production is now high enough to meet the demands of our local market, from over a dozen restaurants in the Lowcountry to your local Piggly Wiggly.

As we continue to increase the output of our greenhouses, we also aim to increase your expectations of healthful and quality food.

With thanks,

Abbot Stan and the Brothers of Mepkin
