Meet The Family

We’re Here To Help.

Hi there, I’m Nick the head honcho of all jobs that are heavy or dirty, big chief of sourcing and production, executive director of cleaning up the shop and laboratory, plus I’m the president of grocery shopping and all tasks domestic or foreign. Sure, I made up a bunch cool titles for myself to justify wearing a spiffy lab coat but the hardwork and consistent success are real. I went from a fancy corporate career to full-time family business. It’s exciting, weird, refreshing, and absolutely terrifying all at once. Most of all we are having the time of our lives.

A true inspiration for creation and the backbone of our family operation are my two boys. They may not be old enough to work the heavy machinery and laboratory equipment but they are bursting with eagerness. There are many tasks that my boys help me with but not until their homework is done. With all the challenges their generation can face, it is imperative the children become more resourceful than their parents. Our family business gives the boys exposure to real world math, science, problem solving skills, and responsibility which reinforces the lessons they learn in school. Growing mushrooms is not nearly as tedious or slow as growing a regular vegetable plant. If you want to get your kids involved I recommend growing Blue Oyster mushrooms, the mushrooms double in size every day for 7 to 10 days and then the kids eat it.

That should give you a quick overview of who we are and why we are in business, now let’s get into what exactly we do and where we do it. We are located in the Village of Dundalk a rural community nestled between thick forests and plenty of farms. All of our raw materials are sourced from only local Ontario farms and forests. Plus, most of our raw materials are certified organic which consistently makes the most fresh and natural substrates and mushroom cultivation products available.

Pro tip: You can use the old substrate in your garden or flowerbed. All of our mushroom substrates consist of certified organic raw materials and our mushroom grow bags are made of recyclable food grade plastic. In addition, we meticulously select all logs before they are brought to our facility to be processed and placed into production. Our forestry, farm, and manufacturing partners are carefully selected based on their environmental safeguards and corporate responsibility, not price.

Why do we go through all that hassle? Actually, that is just the procurement process; we have yet to discuss production, quality assurance, and packaging. We would not want to bore with all the minor details but you can be sure that we are working hard in front of the 99.99% HEPA flow hoods while wearing spiffy lab coats. We will save the details for or grow rooms, laboratory equipment, and processes for another time. By this point you should be plenty convinced that our family is here to help you harvest massive and delicious mushrooms and discover a healthy lifestyle.
