THE PEOPLE BEHIND WOODBLOOM
11,000 SQ FT OF INNOVATION

The state-of-the-art facility near Thornbury, Ontario features three fully computerized growing rooms with independent environmental controls. We produce 7,000 pounds of fresh mushrooms weekly, all organically grown on wood substrates. The facility is HACCP compliant and includes vertically integrated operations - bagging, drying, sterilizing, and packaging all happen on-site. Every mushroom is grown only on wood species that mimic nature, ensuring a cleaner, more palatable product than mushrooms grown on chicken manure. This wood-grown methodology is non-negotiable, providing more intense flavor profiles while maintaining our commitment to zero-additive, sustainable agriculture.
