Learn How To
FARM MUSHROOMS
THE LOW TECH WAY
Mushrooms Are A Great Crop
They can be grown in small spaces, they're quick to grow & they're high value.
They're also really tasty, highly nutritious, and easy to fall in love with.
But chances are your local area is missing something...
A high quality local mushroom producer.
8 years ago, I set out on a mission to grow high quality mushrooms for sale to local restaurants and food outlets.
I spent months researching, experimenting and learning the art of mushroom cultivation.
But growing the traditional way was hard work. Lots of time was spent steam sterilising woodchip & sawdust, then inoculating it under lab conditions.
Thankfully, after lots more learning & experiment I found easier ways to grow.
And with Eric, we've spent the last 5 years developing simple ways to create the right growing set up & teaching others how to grow mushrooms the easy way.
We've distilled all our knowledge into an online course, so we can work with you and help you set up and run a small mushroom farm where you live.
If you're interested in growing mushrooms on a small scale, this is by far the easiest way to get started and we'd love to help you make it happen.

Course TimeTable
Hybrid Course Format
Although the course is self-paced with no fixed timetable, we also have a 6 week programme which starts the day after the enrolment period closes.
During these 6 weeks we'll walk through the main sections of the course with you and invite any questions you may have, supporting you closely as you get familiar with the course content.
Taking part in this 6 week process is entirely optional and there is no need to 'keep up' if you are too busy or have other commitments. You are absolutely free to learn at your own speed and ask questions as and when they arise in the future.
Some people will want to get stuck in and build their farm straight away and others will take many months to plan and research alongside existing commitments.
Both approaches are absolutely fine - we have current course members at various stages in their journey and it's great to watch and learn from others.
Lifetime Access
When you join the course, you get instant lifetime access to all the lessons, so you can keep referring back to the material for years into the future.
This is a really useful feature to an online course format - you have a detailed source to refer back time and time again, as well as ongoing support from us in the private Facebook group and via email.

What Others Have Said:
We needed a good body of knowledge and expertise, and we really got that from GroCycle. The support and advice we received was invaluable - it was the base of everything that LifeCykel has been built on."
“I was worried the course would not meet my high expectation for detailed information; that it would leave me with the need to do more research or search out other sources to supplement what was presented....
Boy was I wrong! It is SO well structured and fully informative. The quality is fantastic!”
"My big fear about courses are that I will get a few small gems and waste a lot of time when I can usually just search the net.
Let me say I have been absolutely delighted with the content, delivery & community you have brought together. Your website, video content & simple presentation has been excellent.
The interface with FB for questions and the Q&A sessions was very powerful as you both were able to respond live or in writing to our questions which was very personal and helpful."
Is This Course Right For You?
This course is for you if:
- You want to grow mushrooms on a small to medium scale (10-50kgs/week)
-
You want to produce amazing mushrooms in the easiest way possible
- You want to make a positive impact in your local community
- You want to skip the learning curve and benefit from our experience
- You have a 'can do' attitude and are willing to put in some effort to learn and create your farm.
This Course is not for you if:
- You aren't willing to put in some time and effort (we can teach you how to plan, build and run your small mushroom farm but you we can't do it for you!)
- You're expecting a 'business off the shelf'. If it's a business you're thinking of, we can't guarantee success - that depends on lots of factors outside of our control (we can teach you loads that will definitely help though!)
- You haven't got any funds to buy/build your growing setup (budget for at least US$2500 setup cost)
