Urban Valley, Brisbane QLD
Urban Valley is full scale urban mushroom farm located within a revitalised city space in the heart of Brisbane's Fortitude Valley.
Founded in 2021 by Joel and MYCOfactor's own Rachel on a commitment to sustainability and accessibility, their mushrooms are grown using Australian agricultural byproducts and organic practices.
In this indoor vertical farming set up, the mushrooms are grown in a series of specialised cool rooms which keep them in ideal conditions year round. Urban Valley handles the entire lifecycle of the mushroom from mycelium to fruiting body with an on site lab and incubation room. Temperatures, constant fresh air exchange, light parameters and optimal humidity swing are all tailored to each species of mushroom to in order produce the thriving, healthy, clean mushrooms.
Urban Valley is committed to safety and holds Freshcare safety certification, a globally recognised voluntary pathway for growers to demonstrate and verify strict safety standards to customers across markets and regulatory bodies.
Because of Urban Valley's commitment to strict organic practices, their mushrooms are tested and free from heavy metals and chemical residues.
