With a lifetime of experience in the food industry and as a former pastry chef involved in founding the Wellington Chocolate Factory, Rochelle always valued knowing exactly where her food comes from. Her commitment to transparency in chocolate production led her to numerous travels throughout the Pacific, deepening her interest in horticulture. A final trip to the Philippines with the Asia New Zealand Foundation solidified her desire to return to New Zealand and fully embrace a sustainable approach to food production.
'At our facility, we not only grow all our mushrooms but also turn them into various products, making our business truly sustainable while significantly reducing our carbon footprint. This "food-to-mouth" business model allows us to supply fresh oyster mushrooms and products across New Zealand, integrating my culinary skills into the creation of nutritious and delicious items. We're proud to present our crispy oyster mushroom chips as our flagship product, with more offerings to come. We also have the privilege of supplying wonderful establishments, including many restaurants in New Zealand and outlets like Moore Wilsons. It's incredibly rewarding to be transparent about our processes and to create products that are both nutritious and delicious'.
Make sure you entered our giveaway over on FB and Insta as her mushroom chips are wonderful. Also the mushroom house is super fun to look after with kids.
