Unique business - wholesale, retail and digital

Deadline Sale brought forward to 1pm, Fri 3 Oct 2025

Oak and Spore is a small-scale gourmet mushroom business located in Canterbury, New Zealand.

Founded by a husband-and-wife team, the business has evolved into a thriving small-scale commercial farm with a strong local reputation and a diverse mix of wholesale, retail and online customers.

Today, Oak and Spore supplies fresh mushroom varieties to Christchurch-based foodservice wholesalers, supplies DIY mushroom growing kits to national retail accounts, and operates a successful direct-to-consumer Shopify store. In addition to physical products, the business also generates passive income through a popular mushroom growing course and a monetised YouTube channel, both of which continue to attract organic traffic and convert to sales.

The business is currently operated with minimal owner input (two-three hours per week), supported by one full-time and one part-time employee. However, the business model offers scope for a hands-on owner-operator to increase efficiency and scale.

Oak and Spore provides a solid foundation for growth, whether by broadening its product offering, extending wholesale operations and/or further developing in the digital space. Bringing together brand recognition, practical experience, and strong potential for future expansion, Oak and Spore offers prospective owners a rare chance to acquire both a lifestyle venture and a growth-ready business.
