Learn to grow your own gourmet mushrooms from household waste - while learning lots about fungi!

The Mission

CityFarmHouse is an urban farm based in C103, an abandoned nightclub that has been brought back to life into a space for local communities and organisations. We grow mushrooms and greens for commercial purposes, but our aim extends far beyond our hyperlocal produce. We strive to make this old nightclub a space where science, art, sustainability and education converge to elevate the local community, inspire future generations, and reconnect with the natural world and the food that we consume.

Grow your mushrooms from waste you have at home!

If you have cardboard and an old plastic container, you already have everything you need to grow mushrooms at home! Come find out how to grow them with us, and earn yourself an infinite supply of mushrooms at home!

In this hands-on workshop at City Farm House, you'll get a proper introduction to the world of fungi and how you can easily grow them at home!

Roll up your sleeves, inoculate your own grow kit using our spent mushroom blocks and leave with a living kit ready to fruit oyster mushrooms on your kitchen counter.

What to bring: This workshop runs on waste — so if you can, raid your recycling for any ink-free and plastic-free cardboard, used coffee grounds, and clean food containers. Bring what you'd otherwise throw away and we'll put it to work! (Not essential to join workshop - just helps us reuse waste!)
