Sustainable by Nature
If your grocery shopping goals include eco-conscious products, you know there’s a lot of hype to weed through in the aisle. Buzzwords like “all-natural” and “sustainable” can mean so many different things.
Unfortunately, as awareness of the importance of sustainability has increased, so has misuse of the word. Greenwashing—the tactic used to lure customers by using Earth-friendly words and visuals that don’t hold any weight— is not only dishonest, but it also creates skepticism for companies who are genuinely sustainable.
Inside Swersey Silos
On July 25th, 2022, MyForest Foods celebrated the commissioning of our new, vertical AirMycelium™ farm, Swersey Silos in Green Island, NY. This farm, which has the capacity to produce nearly three million pounds of mycelium per year, is our ticket to feeding the future!
Six months later, a lot has changed. Our farm team has grown from 3 to 11 employees. Once a construction site, Swersey Silos is now a commissioned production facility.

“Where can I find MyBacon?” is our number one FAQ. Now, we’re thrilled to share three answers with you!
MyForest Foods was born with a mission to feed the future. Yet when our company launched in Spring, 2020, we were lucky if we could feed our staff! The technology in place limited our growing capabilities to very small batches of mycelium—a.k.a. MyBacon’s main ingredient.
Five facts about mycelium
When people first taste MyBacon, they’re blown away by that perfectly meaty texture and savory flavor. They want to know, “How is it possible that a plant-based certified bacon could taste THIS good?!”
