Our Mission

To grow the highest quality mushrooms using locally sourced ingredients. 

About Us

At Oak and Spore, we believe the market has been dominated for too long 
by large mushroom factories that only want to sell you one thing, the boring button. Recently these companies have been importing their ingredients from China,

and growing chinese mushrooms, selling them as if they are New Zealand's produce.

Seeing market emerging for more diverse and locally grown mushroom varieties, 

and with the support of my partner, I quit 12 years working for the government

to start life as a mushroom farmer.

Oak and Spore mushrooms aren't just food,

they are a combination of science and art, which creates something truly delicious.
