Grow Your Own Pearl Oyster Mushrooms
Keep the harvest going all winter long.
The Scoop

- Learn all about oyster mushrooms in our latest Down & Dirty!
- Indoor farming spans the age gap: these kits make perfect gifts for kids and adults alike!
Gone is the season for patio herb gardens, but that doesn’t mean you have to stop growing your own food. Bring the harvest inside, and grow multiple crops of fresh oyster mushrooms right from your kitchen. Your dinner won’t just be the most local it’s ever been -- it’ll be ecologically friendly, too. Back to the Roots operates by turning waste (in this case, used coffee grounds) into sustainable, fresh food. They’re giving new meaning to growing from the ground up.
About Back to the Roots
Founders Alejandro Velez and Nikhil Arora left a path toward investment banking on a whim to create Back to the Roots. With a solid idea, a couple of test batches of oyster mushrooms, and a lot of passion, they’ve grown into national leaders of sustainability and urban farming -- they’re on track to reuse 3.6 million pounds of coffee grounds this year alone. The mushrooms are delicious, too, but that’s just a bonus.
