This is how we begin.

Starting May 17th, we’re launching the MycoFutures Class Series at Good Earth Community Garden—creating space to learn, grow, and build through regenerative mushroom cultivation.

This is more than a class.
It’s an entry point into food systems, community, and new pathways for self-sufficiency.

Join us every 3rd Sunday at 9:00 AM to learn:

• Mycology & fungi basics
• Substrate preparation
• Inoculation techniques
• Harvesting & value-added products

📍 Los Angeles
💲 $10 per class (pre-registration required)
🌱 Certificates upon completion

If you’ve been looking for a way to step into something rooted, practical, and future-facing—this is your invitation.

In 2023, I traveled to South Africa and spent time in the Bapedi region, where I connected with a group of women building something powerful.

Through Setsong Tea, these women are not only producing beautiful, indigenous teas—they are using the proceeds to feed and house orphans in their community.

This is what a regenerative economy looks like.

Not extraction.
Not exploitation.
But care, community, and sustainability woven together.

We partner with Setsong to support with packaging, distribution, and market access—so their work can reach beyond their immediate geography without losing its integrity.

When you purchase Setsong Tea, you are supporting:
• women-led enterprise
• indigenous knowledge systems
• community care infrastructure

And in this moment, you are also contributing to the development of our mobile mycology lab, expanding access to regenerative agriculture here at home.

This is global connection in practice.

After the 2024 hurricane, I traveled to Jamaica—not just to source coffee, but to stand in relationship with the farmers who grow it.

What I found were producers with incredible quality and knowledge, but limited access to packaging, branding, and distribution systems that would allow them to fully benefit from their work.

Irie Brew Jamaican Blue Mountain Coffee is our way of bridging that gap.

We brought this coffee to market under Akoben & Co. so that the people who grow it can focus on production—while we support the infrastructure needed to get it into your hands.

Every cup represents:
• resilience after climate disruption
• direct support to farmers
• a more equitable supply chain

And right now, every purchase also supports the buildout of our mobile mycology lab, where we are training the next generation of regenerative growers.

This is how we build systems that care for both people and land.

If you’ve been curious about learning how to grow mushrooms, this is your invitation.

The MycoFutures Project is a hands-on training experience rooted in regenerative agriculture, community, and real skill-building. Whether you’re starting from scratch or looking to deepen your knowledge, this space is for you.

We’re building more than growers—we’re building pathways into food systems, entrepreneurship, and collective resilience.

Join the interest list to stay connected and be the first to hear about upcoming classes and training opportunities.

We’re currently building our mobile mycology lab—and every step forward is community-supported.

Through the MycoFutures Project, we’re training growers in regenerative mushroom cultivation and creating pathways for their products to reach the market.

Right now, one of the ways you can support this work is simple:

Shop with intention.

Every purchase from Akoben & Co. supports:
• small and regenerative producers
• value-added product development
• the buildout of our mobile mycology lab

This is how we grow real systems—together.

We’ve officially begun building our mobile mycology lab through our Regenerative Futures Project.

This lab is designed to bring hands-on mushroom cultivation training directly into communities across Los Angeles County—supporting food sovereignty, workforce development, and regenerative agriculture.

Through our MycoFutures program, we are training emerging growers and building pathways for them to participate in value-added production and local food systems.

This is about more than growing mushrooms.
It’s about restoring relationships to land, food, and economic opportunity.

We’re excited to be in this phase of building—and to share the process along the way.
