Forest Spore is located in the beautiful hills of Columbia, Tennessee. It is family owned and operated by JT and Alecia Ward. JT is a Tennessee native from Lynchburg. He has always had a passion for sustainable organic farming and a fascination with Fungi.  Alecia is originally from Massachusetts. Her love for healthy living and wanting to source only the best ingredients to feed her family helped guide her appreciation for mushrooms. Their shared passion for the outdoors, cooking and a healthy lifestyle helped light the spark that soon led to them starting Forest Spore. Together, they are committed to providing the finest quality mushrooms not only for their family but to their community.
