Our Story, Our Earth
Shroom Stop Inc. founded by two brothers who wanted their children to be able to experience the world and appreciate Mother Nature as much as they did growing up in Vancouver, BC. What interested in us to work on this solution to address Food Waste and Food Insecurity was Covid-19 Worldwide Pandemic and the multifaceted problem of environmental issues.
Food plays a critical role in human interactions with our environment, from farming practices, livestock ranching, and consumption. The fact that so much food & resources are wasted annually further contributes to our global climate change crisis. Food Insecurity drives people to take drastic measures in order to provide for themselves and their communities. We can see this through the deforestation of the Amazon Rain Forest, the consumption of exotic animals (Pangolins, Bats, Sharks, etc), and excessive use of Fertilizers/Pesticides.
Solving this problem sooner would mean the next generation will not have to face increasing food insecurity and severe weather phenomenon’s like we’ve been seeing in 2021!
The purpose of our Store Front is to provides Consumers an opportunity to learn and engage with the complete Food Cycle and the importance of Food. From start to end consumers are able to watch Mushroom Mycelium slowly colonize and digest cellulose/lignin/fiber, simple sugars, and carbohydrates, in order to produce an edible Mushroom.
Our Retail products provide the necessary R&D funding required to commercialize such an ambitious project. Without the support of the consumer such initiatives and innovative technologies simply would not exist. Our product offerings at the moment only use virgin material from locally sourced vendors and are hand crafted in Vancouver, BC.
