Mushroom growth begins with the development of a food source (substrate). Once this is ready it is transferred to growing facilities and placed in pasteurisation rooms for 7 days.

Mushroom spawn (seed) is planted into the substrate and a root system develops over the next 14 days. At the end of this phase a water holding medium (casing layer) is placed on top of the substrate. This is then transferred to the growing rooms.

Within days mushrooms start to appear and they double their size every 24 hours. They are ready to be harvested in another 7 days.

Mushrooms are harvested at various stages from small Button to large Field size – all from the one crop.

We are conscious of sustainable practices in each area of production, from growth through to harvest, storage, distribution and marketing. We work closely with our valued retail customers to provide packaging solutions that meet their environmental aims and those of end consumers.
