Farmily Roots Fungus & Ferments
About Us

A small mushroom farm
in West Kelowna.

Five species in production, seven more on plates in the lab — grown and foraged. No synthetic inputs, no warehouse, no middlemen. Cultivated to order, and in your kitchen within 24 hours of harvest.

What we do.

We grow gourmet mushrooms — blue oyster, shiitake, lion's mane, king trumpet — in a small facility in West Kelowna, and we forage what the season gives us: morels, lobster mushrooms, chanterelles, porcini.

Our cultivated mushrooms are picked to order. Nothing sits in a warehouse waiting for a buyer, because we don't have a warehouse — what we harvest on a Tuesday is on your counter on a Wednesday. The wild ones come when the season and the forest decide, and we bring them in as they come.

Here's how we can serve you:

How we grow.

No synthetic inputs. Not fewer — none.

Certified organic substrate. No chemicals at any stage. Every bag we grow carries a grow log, and every wild mushroom carries a forage date, so anything we sell can be traced back to where and when it came from.

That traceability isn't marketing. It's how we run the farm, and it's the reason we can tell you exactly how old the mushroom in your hand is.

Where to find us.

Local delivery and pickup, Vernon to Penticton.

Ebb and flow.

A mushroom farm runs on a rhythm, not a warehouse. Every species has its own cycle from bag to harvest, and we plan the rooms around what you've asked for — give us the lead time and we grow to it.

Some weeks one species is flush and another is between flushes. That's the ebb and flow of growing to order, and the pre-order board shows it week by week, so you always know what's coming and can claim a batch before it's picked.
