Sustainable farming isn’t a new concept but few in the industry could match what Will Mussett and his family have achieved on their (mostly) mushroom farm on the Southern Highlands of NSW. Will’s farm and home are completely off the grid, everything required to produce their range of in demand mushrooms, eggs and honey generated ‘in house’ and almost all of it reused elsewhere in the farming cycle. With a commitment to using no plastic or chemicals, it would be easy to think the business is a bespoke operation limited in its capacity but the opposite is true. Will is looking to expand not only the mushroom output from Mussett Holdings but introduce new products into the range including the addition of micro greens in coming months. According to Will the commitment to sustainability requires work and lateral thinking but ‘has never stopped us doing anything’. With no phone line to the property Will fired up the satellite internet connection for this Zoom chat with Tawnya and while the quality of the sound isn’t quite perfect, the discussion is top notch.
