Jim Wilt
Owner/Cultivation and Processing Manager
Jim is a medically retired U.S. Army paratrooper who served with the 82nd Airborne Division, completing multiple combat tours in Iraq and Afghanistan. After leaving the military, he discovered the powerful role that functional mushrooms such as lion’s mane, turkey tail, shiitake, and maitake played in his own recovery, cognition, and long-term wellness.
Driven to help other veterans find natural alternatives to pharmaceuticals, Jim now focuses on sustainable mushroom cultivation, education, and community wellness initiatives. He holds degrees from the University of Maryland and Georgetown University, along with advanced training in mycology and cultivation. Jim is also a devoted single father, raising his two daughters nearly year-round.
