Taking its mushroom production to new heights, the facility now bumps up Monterey’s harvest to as much as 20 million pounds of organic white and brown mushrooms a year. The new facility also has focused its energy on recycling and sustainability, using a 21-day composting process that uses 100% synthetic wheat straw.
