You are not the reason it failed last time.
Most grow-kit disappointment comes down to one thing: a block that was contaminated or under-colonized before it ever reached you. We have cultivated specialty mushrooms on the same Moss Landing farm since 1982, and every Mini-Farm is built from meticulously pure cultures, spawn, and substrate — then guaranteed to fruit.
That is why so many of our growers came to us after another kit failed them — and stayed.

Grown on a bluff above the Pajaro River
Located in northern Monterey County in the coastal town of Moss Landing, our eight-acre farm sits above the Pajaro River, overlooking the Pacific. The steady ocean breeze and coastal fog make it an ideal place to cultivate mushrooms.
The same Shiitake mushrooms our chefs buy fresh is the strain colonizing your Mini-Farm — grown on sterilized sawdust substrate, the way the Garrone family has done it for more than forty years.
