Urban Fresh Farms

The home of Fresh, Dried and Grow Your Own Gourmet Mushrooms in New Zealand.

Now more than ever, we are conscious of the effect we have on the environment. Mushrooms are a great alternative to other high protein options, have a smaller carbon footprint and take up much less space when farming.

Mushrooms are a great source of protein and trace elements and vitamins.

We produce quality fresh food and provide them to the local community in the hopes of creating a more sustainable future.

Where does your food come from?

Consumers should know where their food originates from

We grow on a blend of materials with just a small percentage that we import from the USA.

Don’t be fooled by foods that are prepared in other countries and then fruited in NZ. These can contain toxins such as arsenic, lead and mercury that come from the  poor air and water quality.

Our Gourmet Wairarapa grown Mushrooms are 100% grown here in New Zealand from our environment.
