We are a ‘low-tech’ business, growing Oyster and Shiitake mushrooms.  We sell online and at farmer's markets on the lower half of the North Island (NZ).

Founded in 2018 by Brent and Jude, after returning to NZ from 30 years overseas, we were looking for a business idea that would help us transition away from the madness of the corporate world. To build something sustainable and in sync with our values and those of the planet.

Our previous business was as management consultants teaching business agility to executive teams of large corporations. We applied the concepts of agile and lean in building our business. 2018 was a busy year focused on developing our MVP (minimum viable product), to be selling mushrooms at a local market within 3 months. Having achieved that we then aimed to be growing 50kg a week by the end of the year.

2019 was the year to find a property, and we ticked that off the to-do list by the end of January. We now have a dream farm (and lifestyle) with many new additions to our family. These include "little pig" (our Kune Kune), Mr Peacock, a growing collection of ducks and hens, and our Arawapa Sheep (giving us the joy of lambs in spring).
