About Us
Meadow Mushrooms is a proud New Zealand family-owned business in Christchurch. What started with two entrepreneurs experimenting with growing mushrooms has grown into one of New Zealand’s leading mushroom producers.
More than 55 years on, we’re still family-led and have kept that same entrepreneurial spirit—aim high, keep learning, invest in our people and keep looking for better ways to do things.
Today, our farms in Christchurch and Dunsandel combine technology, innovation and specialist knowledge to grow high-quality mushrooms in carefully controlled environments.
We’re mushroom obsessed—and proud of it. That obsession drives everything we do – from how we grow, to how we pick, to how we think about the food on our table. We love that we grow nature’s think tank: fresh, nourishing mushrooms that are full of goodness to fuel Kiwis and make meals better every day.
When you join Meadow Mushrooms, you’ll be part of a down-to-earth team that’s in it together. It’s a great place to build your skills, learn from experienced people and be part of a New Zealand food business with a story that’s still growing.
