Mickey founded Little Acre with Amy in 2017 and has grown Little Acre from the ground up. From lab work to building a steriliser, or designing a growing chamber, Mickey’s got a head full of scientific and practical knowledge and there’s rarely a mushroom related question he can’t answer.

Mickey received a 2022 Churchill Fellowship allowing him to visit mushroom facilities in Europe, Japan and the USA where he gained international expertise. He has also completed Spawn and Substrate production training at the internationally recognised Mycelia Academy in Belgium in 2022.

Mickey has taught hundreds of students mushroom cultivation skills and will put you on the path to success.

Amy has clocked over 30,000 hours observing the growth patterns of mycelia and mushrooms while managing Little Acre’s farming operations since 2017. Amy can tell you down to the hour of when a mushroom will be perfect to pick and has extensive experience in how climatic conditions can affect your crop.

Amy traveled abroad with Mickey in 2023, observing farming practices in some of the world’s largest mushroom operations and learning from growers with decades and generations of mushroom knowledge.
