About Us
Flavor Country Farms was founded in 2017 by entrepreneur and food addict Kevin Novak. Kevin has long been involved with food as he graduated with Le Cordon Bleu credentials from The Cooking and Hospitality Institute of Chicago. From there he worked in restaurants across the Chicagoland area as well as Omaha, NE for over 15 years.
In 2014 Kevin attended Metro Community College in Omaha, NE studying horticulture. The main emphasis being food production from an organic stance. This would pave the way to a new outlook on locally sourced food and how it really can affect generations to come.

Practices
Starting out with a makeshift laboratory in the basement has now turned in to a much bigger thrill and business which is a wonderful addition to the local farms of the Omaha area.
Mushrooms have such great health benefits they cannot be ignored. Once you look into the world of fungi and the benefits to the human body, you will be amazed and forever changed. All mushrooms lower cholesterol, and all mushrooms are a great source of Vitamin D. Various types of mushrooms have extremely wonderful medicinal benefits. Quite extensive, and too much to list here, defiantly worth some to look into.
We cultivate various types of Oyster Mushrooms, Shiitake, Chestnut, (Karitake), Lion's Mane, and Reishi, as well as Grow "At Home" Kits, Wine Cap Spawn, and pre-inoculated Shitake Logs. If you want to dabble even further, we have Liquid Culture Syringes, Pure Agar Cultures, and Pure Grain Spawn.
With our "At Home" product, you can fruit mushrooms right on your countertop with a "Mushroom Kit". For better results, one could set up a small fruiting chamber in a plastic tub and really produce some beautiful mushrooms. Our outdoor Wine Cap Mushroom Patches are a great addition to any hardwood based landscape and garden beds.
Our other crop currently is the fresh and adolescent world of MICROGREENS. These plants are sown and harvested from 10-21 days old. These little zesty greens are packed with nutrients and are the new major superfood. We offer many types including all sorts of Radish, Sunflower, Peas, Mustards, arugula, and several different blends. All of our microgreens are grown in certified organic soil with a plant-based nutrient program.
