All about Finland

Finland’s pristine environment makes it an ideal location for growing and producing high quality mushroom products. With its vast, untouched forests and clean air, Finland offers a rich ecosystem that supports the growth of diverse fungi. The country’s commitment to sustainability and environmental protection means that the mushrooms we cultivate thrive in a natural setting.

Birch Tree Forests

Chaga mushroom, known for its remarkable health benefits, grows on birch trees in Finland's lush forests. This unique relationship is rooted in sustainability, as the process respects both the environment and the trees themselves. Finnish birch trees are particularly well-suited for chaga growth due to the clean air and rich soil found in this region. The cold climate helps produce chaga with a higher concentration of beneficial compounds, making it even more potent.

By prioritizing sustainable harvesting methods, we not only protect the birch trees but also contribute to the health of Finland's forests. This commitment to sustainability ensures that future generations can continue to enjoy the benefits of chaga while preserving the natural beauty of our environment.

The Importance of Quick Freeze-Drying for Chaga

To preserve the highest levels of beneficial compounds in chaga, it’s crucial to dry freeze the cultivated mushrooms within 24 hours of harvest. This rapid process locks in their potency, ensuring you receive the most effective product possible.

In contrast, less sustainable cultivation practices in regions like Siberia often lead to overharvesting. As a result, foragers must venture deeper into the forests to find chaga, which can delay the harvesting process. This extended time before freeze drying can lead to a loss of potency, diminishing the health benefits of the final product.

By prioritizing quick freeze drying and sustainable harvesting, we ensure that our chaga maintains its maximum effectiveness, delivering the highest quality to our customers while protecting the environment.
