The land on which we live and work is a breeding ground for sustainable initiatives such as GRO’s oyster mushrooms grown in coffee grounds. At our company, the very tasty, versatile and circularly grown oyster mushroom is the central focus from which we make our delicious products.

  • In the late 1990s, a project was launched to build a children’s home in Zimbabwe
