About
Loveday Mushroom Farms
Founded in 1932 on the banks of the Red River in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Loveday Mushroom Farms is Canada’s oldest continuous grower of mushrooms. Surviving the Great Depression, fierce flooding, and keen competition, our commitment and perseverance allowed us to become one of Canada’s leading mushroom suppliers.
As a pioneer of Canada’s thriving mushroom industry, we’ve become an industry leader in utilizing advanced growing technology and state-of-the-art production techniques to supply premium fresh mushrooms – white, crimini, oyster, portabella, shiitake, and enoki – to grocery stores, fine restaurants, and foodservice sites in central and western Canada.
The First Mushroom Grower in Canada to be HACCP-Certified
Loveday Mushroom Farms is an advocate of good agricultural practices that ensure the highest standards of food safety and quality. Our 7,920 square-foot indoor Phase II composting facility allows us to shorten composting cycles and virtually eliminate anaerobic conditions, resulting in greater control of process odors. We were the first mushroom grower in Canada to be HACCP-certified and we maintain our food safety certification through the Guelph Food Technology Centre, allowing us to provide mushrooms that are great tasting, good for you, and responsibly grown through upcycling.
Seventy-five years after Fred Loveday established production at the riverbank mushroom farm, the fourth-generation family operation continues to grow and distribute high-quality mushrooms. As Canada’s oldest continuous producer of mushrooms, Loveday now yields more than 6 million pounds of mushrooms annually from planted space of more than one million square feet. Today, Loveday Mushroom Farms’ workers pick as many mushrooms before 9:00 a.m. as the company did during its entire founding year in 1932.
