Sterilizing Your Bags

There are many ways to sterilize your bags. For small operations (new farms) using a pressure cooker can help you sterilize several small bags at one time.

At this time we are considering offering grow bags, and even possibly pre-sterilized grow bags with the fast fruiting mix in our store. You can check back often or monitor our mushroom growing business group for announcements on this and other offers.
