The team at Love Shack have become long-term friends of mine and we have always supported each other. The story began in early 2023 when they reached out to me to install a mushroom shipping container, so that they could grow their own produce for their cafe. Within 3-4 days I was able to turn their container (which was half refrigerated) into a fully-functioning ‘growtainer’, which started growing Lion’s Mane Mushrooms within weeks, which then went on the menu soon after. I’m a big advocate for ‘farm to table’, shortening the distance of food miles and creating a local food experience for the customer, it’s even better then the restaurant grows the produce themselves and takes steps towards self-sufficiency!

To this day, Love Shack are still growing their own Lion’s Mane Mushrooms for the restaurant and also branched out to create tinctures to support brain health. This turned out to be a very rewarding project and it has been great to see my service and knowledge help others with their business.
