Welcome to, Midwest Grow Kits & Midwest Organics! Today we are one of the largest USA suppliers of bulk mushroom substrate, mushroom growing equipment & mushroom cultivation kits for use in mycological study, research, and various applications.

We are proud to be one of the founding companies in our industry and still hold our small family owned company values as we have grown leaps and bounds over the years. 

Midwest Organics, our parent company has been supplying substrate to commercial mushroom growers for over 18 years. Midwest Grow Kits was born in 2011 to provide the hobby shroom fanatic the easiest way to start growing mushrooms at home without any prior knowledge of how to grow shrooms! We have grown leaps and bounds over the last 18 years!

Our History:

• In 2003 we sold organic bulk substrate additives to commercial operations
• In 2004 our first EBay store opened selling to hobbyists
• In 2006 our product line expanded to include Jars & Rye Spawn & basic growing supplies. 
• In 2009 our product line on EBay was tested in retail hydroponic stores in the Midwest area and the demand for the "All-Inclusive" Kits was born.
  
• In 2011 Midwest Grow Kits was officially launched and moved from a busy part-time hobby to a full-time business of 3 people.
  
• In 2013 we opened our first 1,000 sq/ft retail/commercial location in the busy Chicago neighborhood of Bucktown expanding to a team of 8.
  
• In 2016 we moved to a 3,000 sq/ft production/shipping location in Algonquin, IL employing a dedicated staff of 12!
  
• In April 2020 we moved to our current 8,500 sq/ft production/shipping & Retail center in Woodstock, IL. We grew our team to 18 and installed several custom pieces of machinery to help keep our product quality consistent and be able to satisfy the needs of our commercial growers. 
  
• In 2021 we have made many improvements & updates to our production and shipping departments. We now have an amazing team of 22 full-time and 3 part-time employees to ensure you have the best experience we can offer. 2021 has been an even more challenging year with constant supply chain issues, product shortages and raw material price increases. Thanks to our loyal customers and product demand we have continued to grow and have been able to keep our prices low. 
  
• In 2022 we partnered with the team at Myco Labs to bring their expertise in genetics and isolation to our family. We have helped them bring many of their retail products to market and have welcomed them as one of our house brands.
• In 2023 we expanded our team to 28 Full time and 6 part time employees. We now have a total of 14,000 sq/ft of warehouse and production area between 2 buildings. We now have the ability to stock and sell wholesale & commercial equipment to all the new mushroom businesses just like us almost 20 years ago! 
• In April 2024 Midwest Organics acquired Blue Myco Manufacturing. Partnering with Bonsai Filtration, we have big plans for this brand. As avid users and fans of these sterilizers, we will be able to provide better service and support to all the mycology businesses that use this equipment across North America.
  
• In May 2024 we opened our 3rd location in the same business park allowing us more storage and laboratory space along with a service area for the Blue Myco Brand.
• In January 2025 we launched our 3rd Party logistics partnership program. We now pack and fill orders for over 10 different websites and brands. Leveraging our expert fulfillment staff and warehousing we are able to pack and ship orders for many different companies.
