Transitioning from a 20 year career in investment management, we made an investment of a different kind. Driven by the desire to be more actively involved in our local communities, we decided to make our mark by growing a specialty product that the market would appreciate.
Over the last two years, we have built an end-to-end facility to grow specialty mushrooms. In order to get the product out, we have built distribution networks covering the GTA, the Ontario Food Terminal and several customers based in the Huron County and other Kitchener/Waterloo region. Our products are sold to restaurant, produce distributors, independent grocery stores, farm store and CSAs (Community Supported Agriculture). Ofcourse, you can also pick up any of products from our website itself.

We believe that sustainable farming practices are essential for the health of our planet and our customers. Mushroom farming generally does not involve fertilizers, chemicals (herbicide etc.) or other artificial ingredients. We source our inputs locally distribute out product within the GTA and Kitchener/Waterloo regions, keeping the footprint of our operations low. Our dedicated mushroom facility uses fossil fuel free climate conditioning and we use electric vehicles for our deliveries, again trying to be sustainable in all aspects of the business.
Our spent mushroom substrate also goes back into the local community, being used by local farmers and gardeners as compost.

Based in Brussels, in Huron County, we are a small family farm nestled between large cash crop farms in one of the most productive agricultural regions in Canada.
While our operations are indoors, with a 4,000 sq ft purpose built mushroom farming facility, we do draw on local resources to the extent possible. Inputs used at the farm, such as millet grain, soybean hulls and hardwood are sourced from the local community helping keep the product quality at the highest level.
Our Specialty Mushrooms
We grow Oyster mushrooms of different kinds including Blue, Black, Pink, Golden, Elm and King Trumpets. offering a large selection of delicious, eye-catching mushrooms for a wide variety of clients. We also farm Chestnut mushrooms and Lions Mane.
In season, we also source locally foraged Chantarelles and Morels for wholesale clients.
Our culinary mushrooms bring a unique combination of taste, texture and health benefits for consumers and plays well into the trend of veganism and transition to more wholesome diets. For those looking for the dense nutrition of specialty mushrooms, we offer fresh product and also partner with other farmers that process our mushrooms into dried product with longer shelf life or mushroom tinctures that can be easily incorporated into daily routines.
Our distribution network is designed to bring these products to customers in a timely manner and in excellent condition and delivers fresher product than large scale produce supply chains. We serve the GTA, the Kitchener/Waterloo/Cambridge region as well as most of Huron County.
Our fresh mushrooms are sold to restaurants in the GTA (both directly and through restaurant distributors), farm produce stores across Ontario from Peterborough to the Muskoka region and the London area. We partner with local CSAs (community supported agriculture) to add specialty mushrooms to the produce subscriptions they offer. Our products are also featured at some independent grocery stores in the GTA focused on unique, high quality local produce.
Products can also be purchased online and picked up at the farm or our GTA location in Mississauga.
