Our story
by Terry Vaz from Hearty Growers - Zero Carbon Tour interview
There are two things we want to highlight: one is that we are delivering our mushrooms within the city – we are urban farmers, we grow mushrooms indoors on a vertical wall. Our customers are city-based greengrocers and restaurants. The second is that we are teaming up with local organic gardeners, as well as community allotments. Our waste, which is around 100kg of mushroom spent a week, goes straight to their compost beds.
By being sustainable, you help people and you profit from it. There is common ground that we work on, and a common ground that we work towards as a community. There is so much goodness that comes from reusing and recycling.
