I ordered an Oyster Mushroom growing kit for my elderly father. Inside was a voucher to order the spores. Unfortunately he misplaced the voucher so the kit was useless. I messaged Urbn Farm and had a... See more

Fantastic customer service from Alice when I had a question. Great kit, clear instructions and delivery was quick. Looking forward for more mushrooms to grow!
I was bought the mushroom kit for my 70th birthday. We delayed for several months but we eventually were contacted by Alice who despatched the spore we required.
I had no confidence that this would work but we did exactly as the instructions told us.
We had no development until over 20 days: then after about 25 days we had our first flush of mini mushrooms that grew to be very large over the next few days.
Thanks due to Alice who was very efficient.
A fantastic gift idea and a great way to try something new. Super speedy delivery. A fantastic company.
We were delighted to have been given a 🩷 Oyster mushroom kit as a present.
Due to an imminent house move, we had to wait to get started with our new found passion for all things fungi 🍄
Alice from Urban Farmer LTD was an absolute ⭐ helping us with our enquiry about receiving spawn to our new address and we were so happy when this arrived in the post the very next day 🙏
We watched the video about starting our mushroom box and it was really easy to follow, step by step clear instructions, that were extremely helpful 👏
We are now waiting patiently for a couple of weeks whilst our mushroom babies begin to flourish 🩷🩷🩷
Thank you Urban Farmer
We can't wait, this is such a great gift idea and we are extremely happy to have been given a starter box as a Christmas present 🎁
A well priced mushroom growing kit with everything you need. Unlike some other kits that come pre-made, this one lets you do almost everything yourself.
The contents were well presented and easy to use. As a novice I had no issues following the instructions.
At one point I was concerned that I had contaminated the kit, and Alice gave some quick and excellent advice via email to help.
End result was a breakfast of tasty oyster mushrooms and hopefully several more to come!
What a fantastic little business. Idea is great, price is good, such a great product and amazing customer service. I contacted them as a novice in mushrooms home growing and they answer my questions really quickly. Also delivery was on point. Can’t wait for my own mushrooms!
I was bought a kit for Christmas and started it off with anticipation. All went well, but the spawn then failed to fruit when brought into the light.
I contacted customer service and Alice was fantastic in her willingness to provide advice and help. I ended up with a new kit being dispatched. This has now fruited successfully for the first time (delicious!).
I have no hesitation in recommending Urban Farm for the quality of their product and their customer support.
A lovely company to deal with, I love speaking to real people with a sense of humour and I can’t wait to start growing my lions mane shrooms . Me being the plonker that I am didn’t realise I had to scratch the panel to get the code to purchase my mushrooms . Alice kindly explained it to me and popped the order in for me too , plus we had a bit of chuckle in the process . Thank you
Pink Oyster Mushrooms
I was delighted when I received this as a gift as I am a keen mycophile and this was just up my street.
However, I think that it was the wrong type of mushrooms to attempt growing in Central Scotland but it was great fun trying to grow them.
During incubation temperature needs to be 20-23 degrees and instructions mention that airing cupboards or near other heat sources aren't suitable.
I had mine in a cupboard as it was the warmest place in the house. 19C
When nothing seemed to be happening I upped temperature by putting on the light which has a traditional light bulb. This pushed the temperature up to 22C. There was no way that I could put them out of the cupboard as temperature for fruiting is 22-28C!
Doing this I managed to get three very small flushes (enough to put in an omelette each time).
These mushrooms are ideal for tropical countries but not really suitable to be grown in the northern parts of the UK due to the low temperatures.
I would try and grow mushrooms again but probably best to stick to spawn that grows in the Northern Hemisphere i.e. Blue oysters (that I have seen in Scotland in October/November).
All in all I think Urban Farm It are doing a great job and would buy from them again, and would recommend them to others, as their Customer Service is fantastic and they could not have been more helpful with my questions.
Keep up the good work!

Was able to phone and discuss my purchase as a beginner grower. Had my 1st mushrooms today - thats dinner sorted.
The first box was a birthday present and we had one amazing crop and then nothing. I e- mailed for help and advice. Alice replied with helpful hints and offered to replace so I could have another try. I would recommend them very highly
From start to finish professional, helpful-and great follow up. Purchased grey/blue oyster as a gift for my son in law who is a foodie and there have been no complaints so far. As there was a time issue they made sure they were delivered promptly.
Excellent customer service & excellent product .
Had a very swift response from a request made - we had misplaced the voucher for the spores .
Very helpful, polite & placed a replacement order for us straight away .
First class service - thank you Alice .
The products are good, reasonably priced and the staff are very helpful.
Excellent service goods arrived promptly and in good condition
Very happy with my purchase. Delivery was fast and clear instructions were included.
I purchased one of the mushroom growing kits from a local garden centre. The spores were delivered promptly, the instructions are easy to follow (along side the helpful YouTube channel). I have had my first flush of mushrooms and they tasted amazing. Will definitely buy again.
Received mushroom kit as a gift, had a problem and Alice, who is amazing and very kind, sorted it all out for me, without fuss or bother.
What a wonderful company, nothing is too much trouble for them.
So refreshing to experience in this day and age.
I can highly recommend Urban Farm-it, will use again.
