Performance you can measure

Nutrient rich, functional, and clean label, our oyster mushroom ingredients range from powders to textured proteins, created for diverse applications across global food manufacturing. With high-quality protein, a complete amino acid profile, natural fibre, and bioactives, they deliver measurable nutrition and performance. Our integration process ensures consistency and scalability, giving R&D teams confidence from pilot to production.

Our Story

Maia Farms began with a challenge, creating sustainable, nutrient-rich food for space. When the Canadian Space Agency and NASA launched the Deep Space Food Challenge, we developed a mycelium-based protein system built for extreme environments. After rigorous testing, we won and now, we're bringing that breakthrough back to Earth. Our technology isn’t just built for space. It’s here to transform the future of food on this planet.
