We want to grow good food for our community.
Our goal is simple. We want to help our community and take good care of the environment around us. Growing mushrooms lets us provide a fresh local food that can be hard to find in Southwest Colorado.
We pay attention to each batch, keep our grow areas clean, and adjust the temperature, humidity, and fresh air as the mushrooms need it.
Fresh, local, simple
