Harvest Hand
Highline Mushrooms have four growing facilities (two in Leamington, Ontario, one in Kingsville, Ontario, and one in Wellington, Ontario) and a distribution centre based in Montreal, Quebec. They have grown to become the largest mushroom grower in Canada. Highline Mushrooms was founded in 1961 by Dr. Murray O’Neil. With a passion for quality and innovation, Highline has driven to the forefront of many great technological advances in the North American mushroom industry.
Their highly developed cropping techniques have enabled them to grow all white, mini bella and portabella mushrooms without the use of any pesticides or fungicides regularly required in the cultivation of mushrooms. Change is key to their sustained growth and success and they recognize that it comes in many forms; sometimes this means finding new machines, sometimes it means working out how to do things better and sometimes it means adding new products and different packaging. From changes in our work processes to the adoption of state-of-the-art growing technology, the ultimate goal is to be Always Growing.
