OGM Ethos
Not mushroom growers, OGM is about delivering joy. OGM’s goal is for people to have an awesome food experience.
OGM Vision
OGM’s goal is to grow and make food that tastes fantastic, is highly nutritious, and has amazing health properties. More importantly, it wants to make this food available to everyone at a reasonable price.
Sustainability
Founded in 2018 by Brent and Jude, after returning to NZ after 30 years overseas, they were looking for a business idea to help them transition away from the madness of the corporate world. To build something sustainable and in sync with our values and those of the planet. OGM values focus on community and local, so they operate exclusively at local farmer’s markets.
- Environmental impact: Uses minimal water and energy
- Organic: Require no pesticides or chemicals
- Small footprint: Require little land use and grow close to our primary markets
- Recycle Use of growing mediums that would be considered waste products: we use untreated (food grade) pine sawdust and hull from soybeans. Others might use coffee grounds, straw or cardboard.
