White Prince Mushrooms is a proudly Australian, family-owned business run by the Tolson family, a fourth-generation farming family with deep roots in the Hawkesbury region of NSW. Their farming story stretches back to the 1950s, when Bert Tolson was growing asparagus and famously became the only asparagus grower at the Sydney markets. Over the decades, that passion for growing exceptional produce evolved into a strong focus on mushrooms, and today the Tolson family brings more than 200 years of combined experience to their craft.
From Compost to Plate
Mushroom growing at White Prince is treated as both a science and an art. The team is hands-on at every stage, from creating the perfect compost right through to harvesting, packaging and distribution. Their operation is fully vertically integrated, allowing them to maintain strict quality control and consistency. They also travel internationally to stay up to date with the latest technology and best practices, constantly refining their methods to grow flavour-packed, spray-free mushrooms they’re truly proud of.
Why They Love What They Do
At the heart of White Prince Mushrooms is a genuine love of growing food that people enjoy. Mushrooms are incredibly versatile, whether they’re the hero of a meal or quietly elevating a dish, and that versatility is something the Tolson family values deeply. Their commitment to doing things right, from the compost all the way to your plate, is what makes their mushrooms so special.
