Why “Om”?/ Mushroom Beverage
The word “Om” in our brand stands for Organic Mushrooms, as our mushrooms are Certified Organic. There is a deeper meaning to Om, and we acknowledge it has cultural and spiritual significance.
Om is much more than a chant or a symbol. It is a sacred concept, revered for its deep spiritual importance in multiple religions. Om is often recognized as a chant and when said aloud, the Om (Aum) sound vibrates, creating energy and connection.
By choosing Om as our brand name, our intent is for all our products to pay homage to what Om represents—connection, spirituality and the universal possibility for humankind. Mushroom Coffee Near By.
We’re driven by a passionate desire to foster that spirit by connecting people with their full potential. It starts with personal well-being.
Most importantly, we are open to the conversation and are interested in your feedback and insights.

We grow our mushrooms in an environmentally controlled, BRCGS AA rated indoor farm in Vista, California. Through years of growing experience, the team has developed the expertise to manage the light, temperature, hydration and air flow for each of the 10 species of mushrooms. The ability to grow the mushrooms in a controlled growing environment helps to optimize the growing cycle and bioactive compounds. Mushroom coffee nearby.
Mushrooms are bio-accumulators, which means they will absorb whatever is in their environment. Om’s pristine growing facility ensures that no toxins, pesticides or heavy metals will compromise the final product. Often, you’ll find traces of these things in mushrooms grown overseas.
“Om Mushrooms is all about amazing, functional, whole food, organic mushrooms with life changing health benefits.” Sandra Carter Om Co-Founder
