About us

We're Ellie and Ed and we run Norfolk Spore -a small, independent mushroom farm based in the heart of Norfolk.

Norfolk Spore began with a passion for growing speciality and functional mushrooms.

Situated on a small working cattle farm, our growing spaces have been thoughtfully created by us from converted buildings, including a former lorry unit, shipping container and an old gun club. Each space has been carefully designed so we can manage every stage of the cultivation process.

Our growing mediums are made from locally sourced, surplus, or agricultural and timber by-products, giving new life to materials that might otherwise go to waste.

Working with Local Chefs

Our fresh mushrooms are available at local markets and fairs. We've also worked with many Norfolk pubs and restaurants, supplying weekly menus, tasting events and specials. Over the past year we've worked with businesses such as The Wildebeest, The Ingham Swan, The Last Wine Bar, Restaurant 1812, The Pigs Edgefield, Byfords of Holt and Carway-Roe Events.

From Mushroom to Extract

We believe that you should know exactly where your food and wellness products come from.

In a world of complex supply chains and mass-produced supplements, our mushroom extracts are made with full traceability and designed to be potent.
