MyForest Foods has announced the opening of a new vertical mycelium farm, which it says is the largest facility of its kind in the world.

The milestone will allow the company to scale up production of MyBacon, its whole-cut bacon alternative.

The farm, known as Swersey Silos, uses AirMycelium technology developed by Ecovative, the company that spun out MyForest Foods.

Swersey Silos has the capacity to produce nearly 3 million pounds of mycelium annually. The facility is part of 120,000 square feet of new infrastructure, which also includes a production site in Saratoga Springs, New York, expected to open this autumn.

“The incredible progress we’ve made on Swersey Silos in just one year since breaking ground is a testament to the engineering and technological expertise on our team,” said Peter Mueller, chief technology officer at Ecovative.

“We look forward to using that talent to help make MyForest Foods successful as well. MyForest Foods is now in a position to reach full market scale. It’s a tremendous milestone for one of our closest partners, and for AirMycelium technology.”

MyForest Foods says that it expects to serve MyBacon to more than 1 million consumers by 2024.
