Care2Grow Mushroom Farm

Gourmet mushroom farm producer. Top products: Fresh gourmet mushrooms, Mushroom fruit body tinctures, Adaptogenic mushroom powders. Care2Grow Mushroom Farm, based in Naples, Florida, operates as an integrated, climate-controlled vertical farm specializing in the production of high-quality gourmet mushrooms. Founded by Russell Hollander, the farm maintains strict control over its cultivation process by producing its own clean cultures, which are subsequently inoculated into nutrient-dense millet or sorghum grain spawn. The facility utilizes custom-formulated fruiting logs—comprised of pasteurized oak sawdust, gypsum, soy hulls, wheat bran, and rice bran—to ensure optimal yield and nutritional density. While the business offers a retail line of wellness-focused mushroom powders and tinctures, its core operation remains rooted in the cultivation of fresh varieties, including Shiitake, Oyster, and Lion’s Mane mushrooms. Care2Grow serves a dual-market approach, catering to local culinary professionals through bulk wholesale partnerships with restaurants and caterers, as well as providing fresh, farm-direct produce to individual mushroom enthusiasts.
