UK & Ireland Mushroom Producers

Mushroom Miles has been born out of the Miles Better initiative, a partnership between local farmers, sellers, and growers, to help consumers better understand the journey their food goes on from field to fork. We want to raise awareness of how important the journey your food goes on is and provide consumers with the relevant information they need to make uninformed choices. Taking UK and Irish Mushrooms as an example, they only travel a maximum of 400 miles to get to you – whereas those from other mushroom-producing countries like Poland and the Netherlands can travel in excess of 1,100 miles. Local mushrooms can be transported from the farms they’re grown on in under 12 hours, whereas ones from mainland Europe can take up to 364 hours. Not only does this wildly increase the number of food miles, but it also contributes to a less fresh product. Which is where Miles Better comes in – it’s here to highlight the importance of buying local and supporting local agriculture. Helping to make your meals better. Miles Better.
