We are the Caley Brothers and we’re passionate about mushroom growing. At the heart of our business is our farm located in Sussex where we grow a varied and seasonal range of fresh gourmet mushrooms. We have a green and sustainable approach to all areas of our business, striving to use only locally sourced materials, and recycling as we go.
As interest for mushrooms and mushroom growing continues, we have been privileged to work on an array of exciting projects bringing the topic of mushroom growing into the public realm. More recently we won Gold for our debut display at the RHS Chelsea Flower show. Where we showcased an array of edible mushrooms.
Alongside our farm we have developed both indoor and outdoor growing kits and creative projects. Inspired by customer curiosity and the desire to share our growing journey. They continue to be a popular hit for first time growers, and anyone with an interest in mushrooms.
