As you have probably guessed from the name, Macks' Mushrooms is a small, local, family run mushroom farm located in Manchester, TN (which you might also recognize as the home of Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival !!). Macks' mushrooms is currently growing Shiitake Mushrooms on white oak logs that have been cut locally from the Cumberland Plateau. The white oak logs that Macks' uses are coming from property that has been in the Raper family for three generations now and have been untouched for those three generations.
, "The mushroom House "Macks' Mushrooms has a major competitive advantage in that the facility, also known as the mushroom house, is 40 ft wide by 400 ft long that will serve as the growing area for the mushrooms. The mushroom house will allow Macks' to produce mushrooms all year round!

Macks' is made up of a Father and Son duo. Harvey Mack Raper Jr (commonly called Mack) the father and Corey Mack Raper the son. The rest of the Raper clan consist of Pamela Raper the mother and Spencer Raper the youngest son but they don't really do anything! haha
