A few months ago I was lucky enough to attend an event and meet the representatives from this company. It caught my attention right away. I learned that this Oakland based Company got started by two students from UC Berkeley-Alejandro and Nikhil.
They learned in a college class that you can grow mushrooms on recycled coffee grounds. With a $5,000 grant and collected used coffee grounds from local restaurants. In return they gave the restaurants freshly grown mushrooms 10 days later. Soon the two became mushroom farmers.I got to see first hand the Mushroom in a Box kit and try it out. Anyone can grow gourmet, organic oyster mushrooms in just 10 days. Just open the box, mist with water, and harvest. It’s a great gift for kids, foodies & chefs. The kit includes organic plant-based soil, oyster mushroom spawn, a spray mister and organic heirloom tomato seeds to grow with your composted mushroom kit.
With their success, they created herbs in a can. They also sell a four-pack organic herb garden in cans. All you need is water & sun to watch basil, cilantro, sage and dill grow. The kit comes with organic seeds, nutrient rich soil from biochar-charred remnants of organic agricultural waste. It’s highly moisture retentive capacity helps avoid over-watering issues, aerates the soil for quick root growth, and increases nutrient absorption and microbial activity in the soil.
This company gives back to the community, by offering a Grow One, Give One and Pour It Forward campaign.
