On December 6, Chester County couple Norman and Heather Fetter, owners of Woodland Jewel Mushrooms located in Spring City, appeared on WHYY’s Friday Arts, a 30-minute arts, culture and entertainment magazine.
In this segment, WHYY joined the Fetters on their family farm in Spring City as they harvest gourmet mushrooms and raise their two young children. The Fetters specialize in mushrooms that take concentrated, time-consuming care and thus are unable to be produced by the large-scale Kennett Square mushroom farms. Besides cultivating quality mushrooms, Heather and Norman share their knowledge of the medicinal properties of mushrooms. The duo also take pride in having the second person who touches the mushrooms be the chef cooking them. Top Philadelphia chefs have embraced Woodland Jewel’s fresh, exotic but locally grown mushrooms. The mushrooms not only bring great flavor but also serve as beautiful ornamentation to their dishes.
