Spore and Seed, a farm in Baltimore County, Maryland, is working to grow mushrooms and flowers in a way that honors the earth.

Courtney Cohen started Spore and Seed in 2018 after spending seven years working on flower farms around the country. Although she grew only flowers at first, Cohen and her partner noticed an increasing interest in fungi among consumers. This prompted her to incorporate mushrooms into the business, which she now sells alongside fresh cut flowers and flower products.
