Meet These Urban Mushroom Growers | GroCycle 

Most people think of fields and barns when picturing a farm, but mushrooms can be grown anywhere - even in a city centre!
Join us in this video, where we join the team at Yorkshire Mushroom Emporium, based just a stone’s throw from the centre of Leeds.
We’ll hear about how they got started small in a converted garage, then scaled up after seeing some early profits from selling their fresh produce and grow kits.
They now have a scaled-up urban mushroom farm situated in a business unit, which they designed and built themselves.
They were introduced to mushroom growing after watching one of our videos right here on this channel - then decided to sign up for our Low Tech Mushroom Farming online course, and haven’t looked back since - they’ve even been featured on BBC’s #hairybikers!
If you’re interested in getting started on your mushroom growing journey, we’ve put together an hour-long, FREE workshop that covers all aspects of Low Tech mushroom farming:
