The Start of My Gourmet Mushroom Farm

I have an Oyster Mushroom farm!

A lot of people have asked me how I ended up in owning a gourmet mushroom farm.

Afterall, I was a computer network engineer! I was working in IT for all my life and even did some computer programming. (cobol and visual basic)

I grew up in the city and now I was making a living on my own mushroom farm!

This is why I started this BLOG. Whenever I get asked that question, I just point them to my oyster mushroom BLOG.

I am growing oyster mushrooms in South Africa on a farm in Gauteng. My mushrooms farm is about 40km south of Johannesburg.

I supply fresh and dried oyster mushrooms as well as some organic vegetables to wholesalers in Gauteng.

My organic vegetables are currently grown on a small scale. I plan to get my organic certification later this year.

I have two mushroom grow rooms at the time of writing this post. One is 40m2 and the other is 80m2. It is not enough. I need more grow rooms because the local market demand for oyster mushrooms is much higher than what I can supply!

I'll try to update this blog once a week with information about my oyster mushrooms farm.

Till later...
