Work With Us
We're mushrooming! Specifically, we help people grow mushrooms. And given the rise in the popularity of mushrooms, we are growing at an unprecedented rate. We're passionate about cultivating food, foraging for mushrooms, and 'spreading the spore'.
When we launched in 2014, we were a vertically integrated mushroom farm, but have now grown into the Northeast's premier mushroom supply and cultivation ecommerce company with a state of the art in-house laboratory, mushroom spawn production facility, research farm, and digital education center. We're at that perfect stage of growth, where we're still small enough for you to make a major difference, while big enough to have resources to do amazing things.
