This course is designed for anyone who wants to learn how to design, build & run a small scale mushroom farm. It assumes no prior knowledge – we’ll walk you through the process step by step and be there to support you along the way.

The focus of the course is on teaching you how to grow mushrooms on a small to medium scale (10-50kg/week).
What you decide to do with this is up to you - we aren't here to help you run your business but we can teach you info that will be useful if that's what you want to do.

There is no set amount as the course is a self learning process so you can decide if you want to take it fast or slow. The course material itself is almost 8 hours of video lessons, but you'll obviously spend much more time putting the knowledge into practice. As a rough guide, it may take:

2-10 hours planning & designing
7-14 days building your set up
5-30 hours/week to run (depending on scale of growing: roughly 1 hour per kg mushrooms/week)

The course is a hybrid design - it is self-paced but at the same time we also follow a 6 week programme which starts the day after enrolment.
Taking part in the 6 week program is completely optional and it's important to realise you have lifetime access to learn whenever suits you best.
The beauty of this online format is that you can access the membership area with the modules wherever and whenever you want.
You can set your own pace and rewind or pause what you want and make a cup of coffee when you want. You can keep coming back to the material and troubleshooting section as your growing progresses.

It's best to find a good supplier in your own country or as nearby as possible to reduce transport costs. We provide a list of suppliers in US, EU & AS/NZ as well as info about which strains to grow inside the course.

The Grow Kits Master Class is designed for those people who want to try and turn their project into more of a full time business. 

Grow Kits are one of the best ways of making extra income and spreading the wonder of mushrooms at the same time.

This Master Class contains 20 detailed lessons showing you how to produce, store and sell thousands of kits each year.

With the Low Tech approach we take to mushroom growing, there is no heating or cooling of the fruiting room, so growing when the ambient air temperature is between 10-30C (50-86F) works best. You can choose to only grow for parts of the year which fall in this range or you can add heating or cooling solutions, however these tend to be expensive and energy intensive. All other environmental conditions like humidity, light and CO2 levels can be easily and inexpensively managed in any climate.

It's entirely up to you! Quite a few current course members joined the course, knowing they would build their farm months or even years later. They found it really useful to start learning now and watch and learn from others' progress. You can take your time and plan how you want to do it alongside any existing commitments you already have. Remember, you get lifetime access so you can take things at your own speed and keep coming back to the lessons.
