Seated on a pristine 753 acres of California coast, The Mushroom Farm is transforming the former Campbell’s Soup mushroom production facility into a system of abundance to serve generations to come. We are a 100% certified organic farm, incubating businesses in regenerative agriculture, renewable energy and experiential education.
The future habitability of our planet is being threatened.
Conventional agriculture is destroying soils, along with the ecosystems it depends on. Pollution & carbon emissions warm our planet, causing increased natural disasters and ecosystem degradation. The centralized energy grid is failing, resulting in wildfires and blackouts. Humans are more connected than ever, yet are reporting feeling more lonely than ever.
Everything we need is here. An abundance of natural resources - a super-system for whole ecosystem regeneration.
The Mushroom Farm is a living laboratory, prototyping systems for an ecosystem of community resilience with people and planet at the center. We’re creating a replicable model for long-term local thriving for FARMs around the world. By supporting local food systems and regenerative practices, we secure our abundant future.
Honoring the ancestry of this land
The Mushroom Farm rests on two historic properties. Our 110-acre mushroom production facility was built by Campbell’s Soup in 1957 with over 250,000 sq. ft of industrial infrastructure, and once produced 2.5 million pounds of button mushrooms per month.
And our 643-acre gorgeous ranch, hosts an incredible diversity of wildlife and habitats, and contains over a mile of pristine protected Gazos Creek. Indigenous communities of the Amah Mutsen and Awaswas have managed this land for ages, we honor the memory of their sacred fire and look forward to opportunities to share with them.
We are gratefully reviving the inherent abundance of this land.
Local food security is foundational to our long-term thriving.
By recognizing our interconnectedness and making choices to support the whole, we amplify our capacity to respond to change. When we strengthen the resilience of local food systems, local businesses, ecological education, and serve those in need - we ensure ongoing community health and thriving.
