We’re delighted to reflect on the success of the recent Australian Mushroom Growers' Association Conference and incredibly proud of our team’s hard work in preparing for the farm tour. Welcoming mushroom enthusiasts from around the world to New Zealand was a unique opportunity that we embraced with enthusiasm and care. It was an honour to share our practices and insights, connecting with growers, suppliers, and advisors across the industry. We hope everyone enjoyed the experience as much as we did and look forward to more opportunities to learn and grow together!

Mercer Mushrooms team relaxing after a busy Australian and NZ Mushroom Growers Conference in Auckland.

What a great start to the AU-NZ Mushroom Growers Conference. Day One saw our 155 delegates board buses to the beautiful town of Mercer to visit the Mercer Mushrooms high tech compost and mushroom facility. We all enjoyed a delicious lunch made by local celebrity chef Nici Wickes that showcased mushrooms in all their glory, sauteed, roasted and even pickled. Thank you the team at Mercer Mushrooms for the sharing of knowledge and hospitality. From there, we re-connected for our welcome drinks at the breathtaking QT Rooftop in Auckland in the evening with a welcome from our AMGA Chairman KEVIN TOLSON . Day two is full steam ahead, with speakers from Canada, France, Switzerland and more. Stay tuned for more details updates.

The first day of 45th AMGA Conference in Auckland started with a tour to Mercer Mushrooms.

Mushrooms are FLIPPING CHOICE. (That means really awesome) Have just been on a farm tour at Mercer Mushrooms and mind is literally blown - the extent of the work and dedication that goes into producing this superfood is beyond incredible. Thanks Mercer for opening up your facility for us! #nerdgasm #amga #mushrooms #hortinnovation #AUSNZMUSHCON2024

At the BTC cooking class for IHC Group adults, they often cook with our mushrooms and were curious about how they grow and where they come from. They asked if they could visit, and of course, we were thrilled to welcome them! Over the past few weeks, several groups have come to explore the art of mushroom growing at our farm. We showed them the process—from the compost mushrooms grow on to how they develop and how they’re harvested. We love it when people take an interest in our mushrooms, and we are always happy to share our passion for growing these incredible fungi. Thank you for visiting, and happy cooking! 🍄 👨🍳 #MercerMushrooms #FarmVisit #NZGrown #BehindTheScenes

Last week, we had the pleasure of hosting the SPSNZ Growers and Young Growers Pukekohe Field Trip at our mushroom farm! Our General Manager, Craig, and Engineering and Operations Manager, Harry, led an informative tour of our compost yard and mushroom farm, showcasing our passion and dedication to cultivating the finest mushrooms around. Thanks to the SPSNZ Growers and Young Growers Pukekohe for visiting! Cheers for stopping by, and we hope to see you again soon! 🍄

Burger Day at Mercer Mushrooms! 🍔🎉 After the busy weeks we've had, our team definitely earned this treat. We fired up the BBQ and enjoyed some well-deserved downtime together.
