Mushroom Exchange has had its home in Casuarina for almost 30 years. The
farm, now owned by the large Australia-wide primary produce company Costa Group, produces 80 per cent of WA’s mushroom stocks. The two peak times for mushrooms needs is not surprisingly Christmas and Easter where we eat nearly
18 000 boxes of mushrooms in a week. All up we consume nearly 80 million mushrooms per year- this is great news considering a mushrooms is a well known anti cancer food. Mushroom Exchanges’ 200 staff are mostly local Kwinana residents and have been working at Mushroom Exchange for an average of seven years duration. The location of the farm is vital considering the need to get the
product to market within our quick paced ‘paddock to plate’ timelines.
