Robin Mercy has spent most of his working life in the forests of interior BC.  This informs his approach in the world of cultivation, trying to find and imitate what is already working in our local ecosystems and using that as a starting point. 

Robin started Mr. Mercy's Mushrooms in 2017.  Mr. Mercy’s Mushrooms is a certified organic mushroom spawn supplier and fresh mushroom farm. Based in beautiful Kaslo BC, we’ve been practicing small-scale, seasonal mushroom farming since the beginning. We’re delighted to be able to share our products and ideas with you, whether at the local market or across the country!

What We're  Doing

We’re promoting mushrooms as an integral part of sustainable, local, healthy food systems. 

We work with gardeners, communities, educational institutions, commercial growers, and everyone in between. 

‍We provide growing materials, courses and consulting, fresh mushrooms and more. 

‍We’re passionate about connecting people and fungi.

Starting as a professional poker player, it wasn't until sustaining a debilitating back injury during a near-death experience that Ryan would begin to radically alter course. Left without recovery solutions from mainstream medicine, He turned to alternative health and wellness modalities, which led him to question the modern ways of Western society and the grim path they were paving for humanity.

When he traced the roots of the biggest environmental and climate issues of our time, he was brought to a single industry: industrial agriculture. With a few nudges from synchronicity and intuition, Ryan stumbled on a deep purpose in helping to secure the future of human civilization by evolving the way we engage with Nature and ushering the transition to a regenerative agricultural model.

In 2012, Ryan packed up his life and began travelling the world to learn from the industry's leading minds, beginning with The Permaculture Research Institute on Australia’s Gold Coast, where he was mentored by Geoff Lawton.

After co-founding VertGen Farms on Vancouver Island, and beginning freelance consulting in Permaculture, soil health, watershed management and regenerative solutions, Ryan returned to Australia to step into the role of Assistant Manager at the Permaculture Research Institute, alongside Lawton, which led him to directing development aid in India with the not-for-profit Billions In Change.

Today, Ryan Hill is an international Regenerative Agriculture and Land Management professional. He founded Permanent Consulting in 2015, where he engages with private and public organizations in 4 major areas: Food Security, Development Aid, Regenerative Development, and Disaster Preparedness.

His mission is to design and deploy innovative solutions to harmonize human civilization with Nature and create permanent settlements by eliminating our reliance on the destructive practices of industrial agriculture.
