Mushroom cultivation originated in France with the first written accounts of how to grow cultivated mushrooms dating from around 1650. Mushrooms were then grown in caves. Today, cultivated mushrooms are grown year round, world-wide. They are not a fruit, not a vegetable, and not a plant. They are a highly nutritious fungi.
Our organic mushrooms have NOT been treated with pesticides or other chemicals at any time during their growth and harvest. We belong to the Fraser Valley Organic Association (FVOPA), an organization which issues certificates after inspection and approval of our organic products and practices.

Wild mushrooms are foraged according to the season. What the pharaohs thought were food from heaven, and the Romans thought were food of the gods, and other cultures believed granted superhuman strength, today's chefs and home cooks think of as superfood.
Discerning chefs and home cooks appreciate the convenience of packaged mushroom combinations. The blend of umami inspires experimentation - to create a simple recipe that allows the luxurious mushrooms to shine.
