Today, South Mill Champs proudly supplies over 140 million pounds of fresh, frozen, and minimally processed mushrooms throughout North America. We continue to offer unparalleled service to regional retail, foodservice, wholesale and processing customers providing high quality mushrooms quickly and efficiently. Our mission is to nourish the planet sustainably by providing the North American market with responsibly grown, great tasting, good-for-you mushrooms.
