Giorgi Mushroom Company announced a landmark investment in Modern Soils, previously a wholly owned subsidiary of Modern Mushroom Farms. Modern Soils is a regenerative agriculture company pioneering sustainable soil solutions. This strategic investment reinforces Giorgi’s long-standing commitment to restoring the planet’s natural balance through smarter, circular agriculture.
Modern Soils transforms mushroom compost, an abundant byproduct of mushroom cultivation, into high-performance, eco-friendly products, including premium potting soils, land remediation blends, sustainable crop substrates, and peat-free casing for mushroom farms. By replacing traditional peat, Modern Soils is reshaping the soil industry and setting a new benchmark for low-impact growth.
“This isn’t just an investment, it’s a responsibility,” said Mark Currie, CEO of Giorgi Mushroom Company. “For nearly a century, Giorgi has fed communities across the nation. Now, we’re feeding the very foundation of life itself- the soil. Partnering with Modern Soils allows us to drive real, measurable change in how agriculture gives back to the planet.”
“We are thrilled to welcome Giorgi Mushroom Company as a strategic partner,” said Chuck Ciarrocchi, CEO and president of Modern Mushroom Farms and Modern Soils. “Their unwavering commitment to regenerative agriculture and sustainable innovation aligns perfectly with our vision for a healthier planet.”
For generations, Giorgi Mushroom Company has combined responsible farming with technological progress to deliver sustainable, high-quality produce. The partnership with Modern Soils expands Giorgi’s regenerative agriculture portfolio, offering both consumers and commercial growers regenerative products that enhance biodiversity, improve soil health, and reduce carbon footprints.
“Sustainability isn’t a buzzword, it’s a mandate,” Currie added. “The health of our soil determines the health of our future. By investing in regenerative systems like Modern Soils, we’re ensuring that growth doesn’t come at the planet’s expense, but in its service.”
