Highline Mushrooms partners with Christiaens Group to build the farm of the future

Highline Mushrooms is looking to future-proof mushroom farming. The original controlled growing environment began years ago, but the company said the time is now to build on automated technology.

Highline Mushrooms’ goal is to be the North American leader in the growing space with a visionary system and a long-term investment of feeding the future. This will take a growing system built on data driven decisions, strong partnerships, a future-proof mindset and a staged approach with more to come.

"As we strive to lead with technology, the future of mushrooms excites me," said Jose Cambon, CEO of Highline Mushrooms. "We are connecting Highline’s people and innovation with Christiaens global leading technology to be at the forefront of the industry."

“We look forward to bringing this state-of-the-art mushroom facility for Highline Mushrooms to life. This future-proof system will give lots of possibilities to bring mushroom farming to the next level,” said Roland van Doremaele, Christiaens engineering and development BV, manager sales department.

Located in Leamington, ON, the new fully organic mushroom farm will service partners in both Canada and the United States and will be the largest farm investment ever made by Highline Mushrooms. The company’s technology stack approach will be constructed through a strong partnership with Christiaens Group and will maximize growing and harvesting performance utilizing the Christiaens Drawer System. The evolution of the company's agriculture business to agri-tech platform will bring mushrooms to market under the Highline brand at the end of 2025.
