About Ceres Mushroom Farm
Growing specialty mushrooms in Alberta since 2015.
Ceres is a family run specialty mushroom farm. We grow certified organic shiitake and oyster mushrooms year-round for customers across Western Canada.
Why the name Ceres?
We are named for the Roman goddess of agriculture.
Founded with a mission to create a more delicious and sustainable food system, our family farm grew slowly into one of the largest producers in the Prairies.
Our team combines mushroom growing experience, controlled environment technology and certified food safety systems to deliver fresh, consistent crops throughout the year.
