Giorgi Mushroom Company Invests in Modern Soils to Accelerate Regenerative Agriculture; Mark Currie and Chuck Ciarrocchi Comment



BLANDON, PA - Giorgi Mushroom Company, a leader in fresh produce innovation since 1928, announced a landmark investment in Modern Soils, previously a wholly owned subsidiary of Modern Mushroom Farms. Modern Soils is a regenerative agriculture company pioneering sustainable soil solutions. This strategic investment reinforces Giorgi’s long-standing commitment to restoring the planet’s natural balance through smarter, circular agriculture.

Modern Soils transforms mushroom compost, an abundant byproduct of mushroom cultivation, into high-performance, eco-friendly products, including premium potting soils, land remediation blends, sustainable crop substrates, and peat-free casing for mushroom farms. By replacing traditional peat, Modern Soils is reshaping the soil industry and setting a new benchmark for low-impact growth.
