Our Commitment to
the Environment At Yu's farm, we believe in supporting
local businesses and treating the environment with respect. We use
locally grown trees as raw materials and we return the tree material to
the ground once we have completed our harvest. Unlike
other mushroom farms, we do not use manure or animal by-product of any kind. Our
scientific growing concept places us in a category well above other
facilities. We are an environmentally friendly company. In
the pictures below, you will see how our growing process is clean,
efficient, and environmentally safe.
We do not use any chemical fertilizer or
pesticide in any of our production practices.
Our Primary
Nutrient/Growth Medium, is sawdust. Our
sawdust is
packed into round bags call 'Lot'. From this Lot, this is where are herbal
medicinal mushrooms grows from.
Where it comes
from, the sawdust we use is made from trees
of the pacific northwest. Our supplier directly brings us sawdust right from
their local lumber mill.
How we process
it, after a 'lot' is packaged, it goes
through a steam sterilization process. We do this to sterilized
harmful bacteria and foreign content.
How we use it,
we place the 'clean lots' on racks and wait for the
mushroom to mature and grow.
What happens
at the end, after the harvest, the 'Lot'
is disassembled
and spread out on the ground and used as soil covering.
