Inspired by (OK, word-for-word stealing from) a bag of pretzels, with the full connivance if not outright help from co-founder Ben, Dan Hakimzadeh crafted a surprisingly not-entirely-fictional account of Agaric's origin, which graced our About page from around 2006 through 2012:
The Story on Agaric
I've always had a passion for good design and healthy coding, even back in the days of owning a web site cart in downtown Natick. Back then, my partner and I made all natural HTML roll-up web sites and, as an incentive for customers to wait in line, we baked Drupal into different flavored designs. The Drupal became remarkably popular and before we knew it, the Agaric Design Collective was born.
Today, you can enjoy Agaric Design sites in six great flavors. They are baked, all natural and totally delicious. So treat yourself well, and treat yourself often
