Transformation

What happens after the grow house?

The crop has been grown and harvested, it’s time for the next step in the mushroom’s life which is transformation into a finished or processed good. This can be anything from packaging fresh mushrooms to transport to stores or processing mushrooms into a product like a teas, seasonings, or meat alternatives!
