We are creating partnerships with local coffee shops to recycle in-house generated waste from landfills, where it emits methane and contributes to greenhouse gases. This waste gets reused in our mushroom growing media for use in a variety of cultivation methods. Patrons can get involved by encouraging their local cafe to partner with Golden Gills to recycle their in-house generated waste.
Mushrooms cultivated on collected coffee production waste are then provided to cafes with food programs, to be integrated back into their menu. If no food program exists, we offer our shelf stable Future Farm for purchase in these cafes. These mini-farms were also made with recycled espresso, and can be composted virtually anywhere after use. Golden Gills Future Farms allow the consumer to become part of the solution.
