About Us
Fun Guy Farm is a family operated farm located in Eau Claire, Wisconsin. What started as an experiment, has now evolved into a business.
our history
Fun Guy Farm origin started with a quip. As Steve Scholtz, the original Fun Guy, selected a movie that they had already seen, Tracy Scholtz (spouse) gave him grief about his memory fading. Steve looked into different ways to improve memory – and found that Lions Mane was often used to improrve memory.
Growing Lions Mane traditionally on logs can take over a year. Wondering if there was a quicker way, he went down the YouTube rabbit hole. It wasn’t long before the first set up – which consisted of a concrete mixer & an ice fishing shack – was constructed. Fast forward another month, and the first flush of mushrooms was being harvested.
Steve happened to know a market manager by the name of Deidra. He asked if he could bring some mushrooms to the market, and she accepted him in. The Eau Claire Downtown Farmers Market was a big hit, and from there the growth has continued into what Fun Guy Farm is today.
