Where to Find Virginia Spores Umami Seasonings

Virginia Spores umami seasonings are currently available at farmers markets across Northern Virginia, Richmond, and Fredericksburg. We bring the same mushrooms we grow for fresh delivery to every market — harvested the morning of market day so everything you find at our table is at peak freshness and flavor.

Find us at the market

Our farmers market table is where most of our customers first encounter the seasonings — because they get to taste them before they decide. We bring samples to every market. The reaction is almost always the same: people taste whatever we are sampling that day, and before we can say anything about the product, they say it themselves: “that’s delicious.”

We operate at markets across the Northern Virginia, Richmond, and Fredericksburg regions. Market schedules change seasonally. For our current market locations and dates, visit our contact page or follow us for updates. We announce each week’s schedule at the start of the week.

What you'll find at our table

At every market we bring fresh oyster mushrooms harvested that morning or the night before, alongside our full range of value-added products. The seasonings currently available at market are:

Love Tapp Umami Seasoning — our signature blend, built around the glutamate-nucleotide synergy of cold-grown oyster mushrooms. Designed for use on everything from grilled meats to roasted vegetables to scrambled eggs.

Umami Lover Seasoning — our bold all-purpose umami blend for cooks who want maximum savory impact. Strong enough to stand up to red meat and hardy grains, subtle enough for delicate fish and eggs.

Oyster Mushroom Sea Salt — a finishing salt made from our farm-grown oyster mushrooms blended with premium sea salt. A single pinch on a completed dish adds the umami depth that makes everything taste more complete.

Ask us anything at the table

Our market table is run by the same person who grows the mushrooms and has spent the last 18 months deep in the research literature on what oyster mushrooms actually do to the human body. If you want to understand why our seasonings work the way they do, or what the science says about any particular health claim you've seen about mushrooms, ask. We enjoy the conversation and we can show you the studies.

Online availability

We are currently working toward making our seasonings available for online purchase and nationwide shipping. When that becomes available we will announce it here and to our contact list. In the meantime, if you would like to be notified when online ordering opens, send us a message through our contact page.

Fresh mushrooms are available now

While the seasonings are market-only for now, our fresh oyster mushrooms are available for local delivery across Northern Virginia, Richmond, and Fredericksburg, and ship nationwide. Harvested to order — typically the night before delivery — so you receive them within 24-48 hours of harvest. Shop our fresh mushrooms directly from the Virginia Spores store.
