Freeze-dried mushroom and microgreen wellness supplements; and fresh mushrooms and microgreens.

Owner Mike Taylor grows microgreens in an aquaponics system that utilizes waste from tilapia fish to provide nutrients for optimal plant growth. He also grows mushrooms in a dedicated mushroom grow room that has temperature and humidity control. Some of the fresh produce is sold to local restaurants, whereas the remaining is used to make mushroom and microgreen supplements. In addition, he ferments garlic to make black garlic.

“This is like three big science projects. It’s a lot of fun,” says Taylor. “Collaborating with two friends, Anthony Mitchell and Noah Newman, we decided to combine our skills in horticulture, commercial/industrial HVAC service, and building automation programming to develop, build, and implement sustainable growing systems that can generate fresh produce all year long.”
