Getting better at “their” impossible.

Yellow Oyster Mushrooms

At Heartee Foods, our passion for sustainable agriculture and gourmet mushrooms has propelled us on an exciting journey of innovation and growth. From humble beginnings with a prototype container farm to expanding across North America, each day has been a learning experience, shaping both our techniques and our understanding of this fascinating industry.

As we embarked on this venture, we quickly realized that growing gourmet mushrooms in upcycled container farms presented unique challenges and opportunities. Every day brought new insights, both technical and functional, as we navigated the intricacies of cultivating mushrooms in diverse climates, from the harsh temperatures of Texas to the cold winters of Canada.

One of the key lessons we've learned is the importance of proper substrate placement. Understanding which strains thrive in different conditions and optimizing airflow and CO2 levels are crucial factors in ensuring a successful harvest. Over time, through experimentation and observation, we've honed our techniques, allowing us to achieve consistent results and maximize production efficiency. A.K.A - data, data, data!

But our journey doesn't stop there. With each cycle of growth, we continue to refine our processes and expand our knowledge base. The container farms themselves have evolved alongside our understanding, becoming more sophisticated and adaptable to varying environmental conditions.

One of the most rewarding aspects of our journey has been the ability to overcome challenges and innovate in unexpected ways. Whether it's developing innovative solutions to optimize space utilization or implementing cutting-edge technology to monitor and control growing conditions, we're constantly pushing the boundaries of what's possible in sustainable agriculture.

As we look to the future, we're excited to continue our quest for excellence in growing gourmet mushrooms. With a solid foundation of experience and knowledge behind us, we're poised to take our operations to new heights, delivering fresh, high-quality mushrooms to customers across North America.

Join us on this journey of discovery and innovation as we continue to grow, both as a company and as stewards of sustainable agriculture. Together, we're shaping the future of food production, one mushroom at a time.
