About
The grower behind Organically Gourmet
One farm, one cultivator, and a stubborn belief that food and medicine can be grown better than we're currently growing them.

I've never gotten over watching something grow
I'm Robert Michael Watson. I started Organically Gourmet because I love growing things — genuinely, unreasonably. Mycology got its hooks in me early: an organism that eats what we throw away, asks for almost nothing, and hands back food and medicine is about the most hopeful thing I know of.
I still inoculate the jars, still log the flushes, and still answer questions in our growers' group most evenings. What I care about beyond the harvest is stewardship — leaving the water table, the soil and the air in better shape than I found them, and showing that doing it right isn't a sacrifice. If any of that resonates, come grow something with us.

Mission
A working model for what agriculture has to become
Organically Gourmet, LLC is a small, off-grid, solar-powered farm built around a single question: how do you grow real food — protein included — without draining an aquifer, clearing more land, or leaning on a grid and a supply chain that were never designed to last?
We sell what we've learned as much as what we grow, so other people can run the same playbook in their own climate and their own square footage.
