Yorkshire Mushroom Emporium logoYorkshire Mushroom Growing Workshop

The Yorkshire Mushroom Growing Workshops are run by the Yorkshire Mushroom Emporium, the brainchild of five school friends from West Yorkshire.

Their aim is to revolutionise their local food network with their sustainable, low tech mushroom farm in Ilkley. The mushrooms are grown on waste coffee grounds collected from local businesses which would usually just go to waste.

They have big plans to help the world by bringing sustainably-grown British produce to local people and want to lead the way in alternative food production by staying true to their vision of fresh, organic, and delicious produce, grown in an environmentally and socially sustainable way.
