Mepkin Abbey Monks to Raise Mushrooms


Mepkin Abbey in Moncks Corner to grow Mushrooms instead of selling eggs

The 40 year tradition of raising and selling eggs as been replaced with oyster mushrooms at the Moncks Corner monastery. As many people are aware, PETA raised a big stink about the handling of the chickens at the Mepkin Abbey monastery. So to calm things down, the monks have moved to growing and selling oyster mushrooms.

Piggly Wiggly officials said the mushrooms will be sold at the Piggly Wiggly stores at 100 W. Main St. in Moncks Corner and 1981 Riviera Drive in Mount Pleasant and at Newton Farms on Johns Island. The mushrooms will also be sold to local restaurants such as Slightly North of Broad, High Cotton, McCrady’s, Cypress and Anson.
