Plantify The World
Our mission is to 'plantify' the world. We strive to build restorative, sustainable systems that work in harmony with nature. Society has been disconnected from the land and the source of our food. That is evident in the 108 BILLION pounds of food wasted every year, high rates of obesity and preventable diseases.
The tides are turning and it's time to cultivate ecosystems that feed the local community and the economy while using minimal natural resources and contributing to the health and wellbeing of the earth and all its inhabitants.
The Mushroom learning center - coming 2024
We're building a campus! The Mushroom Learning Center will be a place for Mycology, discovery, and connection with nature. A visit to the Mushroom Learning Center will be a truly unique experience. Where else can you step foot in a mushroom lab and then take a peak into our fruiting chambers with over 20 varieties of mushrooms! Participate in kids STEAM programs, workforce development, or learn about growing mushrooms at home.
The commercial kitchen and refrigeration will allow us to work with other local farmers to reduce food waste, create new products, increase farm profitability, and provide high quality foods to our local community.
We need your support to bring these amazing programs to life!
Discover the unique culinary potential and health benefits of gourmet mushrooms grown right on your kitchen counter. Just spray your kit and watch it grow!
How to Start Your 'Grow Your Own Mushroom Kit'
Why Grow Your Own Gourmet Mushrooms?
Most of the food we eat isn't grown close to home. In fact, the produce at your local grocery chain travels over 1,500 miles on average. Not only is that hard on the environment, the further your food travels, the less nutritious and flavorful it is.
Specialty mushrooms like Oyster and Lions Mane have short shelf lives and they are easily damaged in transit. Therefore, they won't be found at most grocery stores. Grow Kits make it possible to have these unique mushrooms fresh at home with zero effort. Just cut, spray and harvest!
