About Us

Amanda Janney
Owner/Manager
Hey! I’m Amanda. I took over the operations of Ashby Fungi in 2023. The farm was started in 2020 by Emily Hill and Boyan Xu. I have had life long love affair with mushrooms and moved to Sonoma County in 2022 to pursue the dream of operating a gourmet and medicinal mushroom farm. As fate would have it, Emily and Boyan were looking for a new owner for Ashby Fungi right at the same time. It’s an honor to carry on the tradition of a woman-owned urban farm. I love cooking with mushrooms and am very interested in the health benefits they provide for us humans. Come find me at a farmer’s market and let’s chat about all things mushrooms, low-intervention farming, hot springs, motorcycles, and punk rock!
