Excited to share this one with you all — Southwest Mushrooms was featured in "The Story of Arizona's Good Food," a full-length documentary produced by Local First Arizona and premiered on Arizona PBS. The film is a 55-minute deep dive into Arizona's food system — the farmers, growers, and producers working to feed our community while navigating real challenges like water scarcity and farmland loss. There's a segment on how mushrooms are made (that's us!) alongside some incredible Arizona producers like Duncan Family Farms, Machokoto Family Farms, Blue Sky Farms, and many more. Watch the full documentary free on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fGyqIs-Sdl0 It's a powerful reminder of why local food systems matter and why what we do as growers — whether commercial scale or closet grows — is part of something bigger. Would love to hear your thoughts after watching. What part resonated with you? Did anything surprise you about the challenges facing Arizona agriculture?

This one's for everyone growing in a closet, spare room, bathroom, garage, or apartment corner. Small space growing is how most of us started. Some of the most creative setups I've seen come from growers with limited space. I want to see: - Your grow area (closet, tent, shelf, tub) - - Your humidity solution - - Your lighting setup - - Any clever hacks you've figured out What works well in small spaces: - Martha tents (wire shelving + greenhouse cover) -- $40-60 - - Shotgun fruiting chambers for 1-5 blocks - - Automated misting with a timer and reptile fogger - - Grow tents repurposed for mushrooms Drop your photos and describe your setup.
