One of the first things people ask us is "how did you get your name?" The answer is quite simple. It is a tribute to the people who influenced us the most. The "P" in P. Dickey's comes from Jim's mom and dad, Pat and Phyllis, who were expert gardeners and growers of fresh herbs, fruits and vegetables. Jim has always used this influence in his cooking, and now uses it to create our wonderful products. The "Dickey's" is a tribute to the father of a friend of mine (Richard Monk), who taught me how to hunt for morel mushrooms. That first day mushroom hunting with him sparked a passion in me that changed my life. I have since passed that passion on to Jim, and we have both passed that passion on to our four children.
There is more than our influences that helped shape P. Dickey's. Jim brings with him over 20 years of culinary experience as a chef, food stylist and recipe developer, as well as having an associates degree in culinary arts. I have been a master gardener for six years, and have been mushroom hunting for over fifteen years. I recently graduated with a green industry technician degree. We are both passionate about all kinds of food, but especially wild mushrooms.
P. Dickey's first started four years ago with the creation of our Morel Seasoning. Jim and I developed it as a way of using the dried morels we had left after the season was over. We found that everyone who tried it, loved it, including our kids, so we started selling it to friends, family and fellow mushroom hunters. That original blend has expanded to over a dozen wild mushroom products. All our products are hand blended, packaged and distributed in Janesville, Wisconsin by us, our family and friends in a licensed kitchen. All the mushrooms used in our products come from FDA approved sources.
We think P. Dickey's products are great because they offer the unique flavor of truly wild mushrooms. We feel that wild mushrooms are one of the wonder foods in the world, and we hope you will too. Wild mushrooms are an incredible source of protein, vitamins and minerals, so they are great for people looking for healthy food. They are fat free, cholesterol free, and have zero calories, so they are great for those who are looking to lose weight. The majority of our products are made from mushrooms hand picked in the wild, so those who want sustainable, organic, natural food should love our products. We are sure you will enjoy P. Dickey's wild mushroom products as much as we enjoy making them for you. Don't forget to "Shroom Your Food"
