Work With Us
We’re mushrooming! Specifically, we help people grow mushrooms and as a result, are growing at an unprecedented rate. We’re passionate about cultivating food, foraging for fungi, and ‘Spreading the Spore’. When we launched in 2014 as a vertically integrated mushroom farm, but have now grown into the Northeast’s premier mushroom supply and cultivation e-commerce company. With a state of the art in-house laboratory, mushroom spawn production facility, research farm, and digital education center, there are endless projects to be involved in.
As a leader in the field, we are constantly innovating and developing new products. We're focused on exponential growth, North American distribution, an ever-expanding product portfolio. Every day we welcome more people to the growing community of enthusiasts and social media followers around the world who are starting to grow their own shrooms. 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.
