We are thrilled to share that we have successfully surpassed our £5000 crowdfunding goal on Kickstarter! This achievement is a testament to the incredible support from our community. ! We closed at £5402 from a total of 50 legendary pledgers. With this funding, we will kickstart our new packing and packaging processes, and we are excited to soon reveal our new tea labels.
In addition to our Kickstarter success, we have been actively engaging with the community through various events. Our collaboration with Indie Füde brought two fantastic farm tours as part of their Wee Taste of East Belfast experience. https://visitbelfast.com/partners/hearty-growers/#overview The Balmoral Show was another highlight, where Terry showcased our Mushroom Teas to a broad farming audience. All thanks to Clarkson's Farm and their latest episode on Lions Mane and Oyster Mushroom farming and showing their relationship with fellow mushroom farmers - Slad Valley Mushrooms, due to which we got to connect with visitors on a greater level. A big thank you to Food NI and Tourism NI for hosting us.
We are excited to announce our new partnership with Visit Belfast! Check it out here. You can now book all our events and workshops through their in-house ticketing stations, both in-store and online. We recently attended their impressive strategy and networking event at the National Football Stadium of Belfast, where promoting Neighbourhood Tourism was a key focus. Inspired by this, we are introducing a unique experience for visitors: the Mushroom Tea and Truffle Sampling + Urban Farm Tour. Book it here. This one-hour adventure promises to give you an insight into sustainable mushroom farming along with sampling our mushroom teas and delighting yourself with our signature Shiitake Truffle handcrafter by Monto.
