In 1932, on the shores of the Red River in Winnipeg, Manitoba, a small but ambitious farm began its journey—laying the foundation for what would become Canada’s longest-running mushroom farm. Back then, Loveday Mushroom Farms harvested a fraction of what it does today. Fast forward nearly a century, and they now hand-pick more mushrooms before 9:00 a.m. than in their entire first year of business! Through decades of dedication, innovation, and a deep-rooted passion for growing, Loveday has become a trusted name in the industry, supplying over 6 million pounds of mushrooms annually to grocery stores, fine restaurants, and foodservice providers across central and western Canada. In 2020, Loveday joined the South Mill Champs family, blending our rich history with new opportunities—while staying true to the quality and expertise that defined them from the start.

The Hi-Lo Road: The "hi-lo" trend combines high-end ingredients with approachable formats, offering a sense of affordable luxury.

Consider incorporating specialty mushrooms, like shiitakes or oyster mushrooms, into casual fare like burgers, sandwiches, or even pizzas. ?? The Casualization of Pasta: As pasta becomes more approachable yet remains innovative, mushrooms add complexity to everyday dishes. Mushrooms work across demographics, from enhancing a simple spaghetti with sautéed crimini to playing a starring role in plant-based mushroom bolognese. They're a natural fit for casual but elevated pasta innovation. ?? Dumpling Discovery: Dumplings are having a moment, and their versatility knows no bounds. Mushrooms can add a savory and satisfying element to dumplings from around the world. Think mushroom and pork pot stickers, mushroom and kimchi mandu, or even mushroom and cheese pierogi. These trends point to one undeniable fact: mushrooms are versatile, on-trend, and poised to support menu innovation across cuisines and formats.
