City Farm House is an urban farm we are developing at C103. It will provide fresh produce, education, workshops and apprenticeships through the production of mushrooms and aeroponic crops.

On the 9th of December we launched the mushroom farm we built in C103’s old barrel cellar.

Co-Director Wendy and Finance Manager Yvonne cooked up some tasty mushroom treats — from mushroom fudge and brownies to creamy mushrooms on mushroom bread! — City Farm House Manager Matt gave tours of the cellar and we had fresh mushrooms and grow-you-own kits for sale!

Grow your own Blue Oyster mushrooms!

Our grow-your-own kits are made from scratch at C103 and come in recycled hessian bags given to us by local business Owen’s Coffee, and decorated by local people. A kit yields upwards of 300 grams over the course of three cycles and allows you to watch the mushrooms grow from tiny little pins to fully grown mushrooms—magic! It’s super easy but don’t worry, the kits come with full instructions. You can expect your first harvest within two weeks of starting.

Once you’ve made your purchase you can collect your kit from The Plot from Monday-Saturday between 10am and 5pm. To make alternative arrangements, give us a call on 01752 260710, pop into The Plot or email hello@nudge.community.
