Mushroom Will
Saving the World One Mushroom at a Time
Who We Are:
I’m a farmers kid still farming.
Our tagline is a pretty big statement. What does that even mean?
For us, that means saving animals and biodiversity. It is not sustainable for nearly 8 billion humans to continue to eat any creature that moves on this planet 7 days a week, 365 days a year.
​
The beauty of living in majestic places like British Columbia is that you appreciate the nature and landscape that surrounds us. If we want to conserve and let more generations enjoy the same joy we feel when basking in it, then it's taking this goal seriously. If we continue to consume every living creature, the planet's ability to rebound and regenerate will not be the same.
​
We want to show how you can make tasty dishes with mushrooms.
We want to teach you how you can enforce your own food security,
We want to share the benefits and knowledge of medicinal mushrooms,
Lastly, we want to make you feel excited that you're supporting our business and confident when using our products.
​
What We Do:
Fresh, dehydrated, powdered, pickled, tinctures, and capsules.
My small mushroom farm operates 12 months of the year, with daily harvests and of course daily maintenance required. ​I use no chemicals in my farm and cleaning is done with hydrogen peroxide, soap, isopropyl alcohol or vinegar.
​
I started growing mushrooms about 15 years ago but moved to growing them full time as a commercial venture in late 2019. The pandemic was not kind to us farmers, but it gave me time to develop and learn the best ways to grow mushrooms.
​
Why We Do This:
Because local food matters and food security is important!
Once I started researching mushrooms, I soon found that mushrooms have a similar protein value to meat. And as a bonus, almost all mushrooms have medicinal benefits! The mushrooms commonly sold in grocery stores unfortunately don’t have much for medicinal benefits but everything I grow has medicinal benefits and tastes out of this world! We grow so we can help our community breath, feel better, and be nourished.
