2500 a kilo? Fark me. I'll stick to mushrooms from the paddock.

Bloody brilliant. Our soil's perfect for this. Beats dairy farming any day.

Sage Lawson2026-07-03T05:26:00.000Z

Leo McKenzie2026-07-03T05:35:00.000Z

Peyton Hall2026-07-03T05:59:00.000Z

Imagine the smell when they're ripe. Bet the neighbours love harvest season 😂
