AVONDALE, Pennsylvania – To-Jo Mushroom’s Tony Summa has been nominated to serve on the American Mushroom Institute’s Penn State Advisory Committee. Tony brings with him almost 20 years of Mushroom knowledge and a degree in Business Economics from Penn State University. Tony has been To-Jo’s Growing Coordinator for 2 ½ years and has dedicated almost two decades to the industry.
“I love the challenge of growing mushrooms, every day is different. I am honored to serve the industry.” In addition, Tony serves on the AMI Food Safety Task Force.
