Discover the rich flavor of our gourmet mushrooms, grown in modular, solar-powered container farms right here in Chicago. Our mushrooms are harvested at peak freshness and delivered within hours to your kitchen.
Our innovative cultivation process combines ancient wisdom with cutting-edge technology.

Our specialized LED lighting provides the exact spectrum needed for optimal development, while our recirculating water system reduces consumption by over 80% compared to traditional agriculture.
