ABOUT US
OMG Alchemy is a small-batch fermentation and extraction company based in North Carolina, crafting functional foods and mushroom-based medicines using wild-foraged, wild-simulated, and seasonally grown botanicals.
Our work is rooted in the belief that food is medicine, and that mastery of technique combined with reverence for nature produces powerful, life-supporting products.
We specialize in advanced extraction methods—including low-temperature spring water decoctions, ultrasonic ethanol extraction, and rotovap-assisted refinement—to capture the full spectrum of bioactive compounds from mushrooms and plants. Everything is produced by hand in small batches using living spring water, high-quality organic or wild-harvested ingredients, and precision tools to preserve flavor, potency, and function.
Our mushrooms are either wild-foraged or wild-simulated—grown outdoors in seasonal cycles to mimic nature. We source species like Lion’s Mane, Reishi, Turkey Tail, Shiitake, Maitake, and Oyster mushrooms, all known for their effects on immunity, cognitive function, gut health, detoxification, and longevity.
Our Lion’s Mane Ginger Tonic is a fermented, naturally carbonated probiotic beverage that supports mental clarity, digestion, and energy. Our Turkey Tail and Reishi tinctures promote immune balance and deep restoration. We also produce high-protein mushroom jerkies made from extracted Oyster mushrooms—crafted for maximum nutritional density and zero waste.
Our Ethos
We combine alchemical philosophy with gastronomic precision, using culinary techniques to unlock medicinal potential. Every step—from foraging to fermentation—is a ritual of transformation. Our goal is not just to make products, but to offer living artifacts that support real vitality.
We are proudly based in the mountains of Western North Carolina, a region steeped in ecological richness and ancient healing traditions. Inspired by the land once stewarded by the Cherokee people, and by eclectic Appalachian medicine practitioners, we honor a legacy of bioregional healing that stretches back over 17,000 years.
The Blue Ridge Mountains host one of the highest concentrations of fungal and plant biodiversity in the temperate world—including sacred medicinals like American Ginseng, Ghost Pipe, and wild Lion’s Mane. At OMG Alchemy, we are committed to protecting this bioregion, spreading awareness of its value, and showing how biodiversity and human health are inseparable.
