Although Lemdell has well established relationships with many leading growers, we also grow our own mushrooms in order to maintain control and quality of our produce. Every aspect of the growing, packing and the delivery process is carefully managed.

Mushrooms are fragile produce and growing them and supplying them to the market is a highly monitored process. The beautiful velvet-like texture of the white mushroom marks very easily and becomes discoloured when scratched. Our harvesters wear gloves and operate in refrigerated environments. Even the composting process is extremely delicate. Our suppliers use the latest technology to create a mushroom that is as good as it can get!
