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.
