How I work with clients
With a small number of operators each year, I design and launch regenerative systems:
Whether you're planning a 1,000 to 10,000 lb/week facility, a myco-integrated retreat or an R&D lab, every project begins with a focused feasibility phase that aligns system design, economics and infrastructure before capital is deployed.
The Farm Launch™ pathwayFour steps from idea to cultivation.
Each step ends with a clear output, so you only move forward when the system and the numbers make sense.
01
Discovery call
Free 30 minutesA quick call to understand your goals, location, timeline and rough budget. We'll decide together if Farm Launch is a fit.

Whether you're building a mushroom farm, developing mycelium materials or starting a land-based retreat, I help shape the systems, design specs and protocols that integrate biotech into sustainable living and agriculture. With 18+ years in cultivation and facility build-outs, I also help you source the right equipment, build production SOPs and create systems that scale without losing craft, quality or mission.
Ideal for:Early-stage developers, landowners, mushroom brands, eco-labs and decentralized farms needing technical clarity and done-for-you design
Pricing:Monthly retainer, based on scope
Pitch and brand development
Sharpen your vision, voice and investor materials.
Need to raise money or clarify your value proposition? I work with mission-driven founders to shape decks, messaging and narratives that attract aligned capital, clients and collaborators.
Best for:Founders, eco-CEOs and biotech teams looking to fundraise or rebrand
Available as:One-time intensive or ongoing monthly advisory
Most services run on a monthly retainer, so support can flex as your project evolves.

How pricing worksDigital products Start on your own. Get credit when you want help.A full library of 29 individual Standard Operating Procedures, plus a cover guide, covering the complete range of food safety and operational practices a real mushroom production facility needs to run cleanly and pass inspection. Built around MGAP standards and structured to support MGAP, GAP, and other food safety certification pathways, this library covers water safety, worker hygiene, premises access control, materials receiving, substrate handling, building and grounds maintenance, harvest and staging practices, cleaning and sanitation, and chemical safety.
This isn’t a generic checklist. Each document is a real, detailed operating procedure, the same standard used to guide employees, pass food safety audits, and build a genuinely compliant operation from the ground up. Every SOP is delivered as a fully editable Word document, so you can fill in your facility’s specifics, rename it as your own, and put it to work immediately.
Whether you’re building your first food safety program, training staff on day-one procedures, or preparing for MGAP, GAP, or organic certification, this library is the operational backbone every serious food safety compliance effort is built on.
Bundle credit: this purchase counts toward a Farm Launch(TM) engagement within 90 days - see Farm Launch for details.
A large-scale commercial mushroom fruiting facility, delivered as a complete, real-world plan set. The Grow Barn is a 106' x 110' barn-style structure built around six dedicated grow chambers, capable of an estimated 4,800 lb of fresh mushrooms per week in continuous rotation.
This is an actual Farm Launch™ plan, the same drawings and planning logic used in a real client engagement, not a generic template.
Includes:
Full Facility Layout (complete room-by-room floor plan)
Builder Plans A, B & C (structural framing and truss engineering)
Product Overview (the story and vision behind the design)
Complete Plan Set (a full walkthrough of every drawing, a phase-by-phase Construction Overview, and financial capacity detail)
Built as a genuine barn structure, which often simplifies permitting and zoning in agricultural settings, and gives contractors unfamiliar with mushroom facilities a familiar shape to work from.
This package gives you a massive head start, not a finished permit set. Local engineering review and permitting are still required before construction, especially at this commercial scale.

Plan sets, financial models and SOPs drawn from real operations. Qualifying purchases count toward Farm Launch™.
A complete homestead-scale mushroom fruiting structure package: a personalized product overview, a full architectural plan set with real construction drawings, a phase-by-phase build sequence, and financial detail covering yield, revenue, and payback timeline. Includes three print-ready architectural sheets (elevations, sections, floor plan) suitable for handing directly to a contractor.
A complete, real-world guide to running mushroom substrate production from start to finish: daily operations checklist, substrate mixing ratios and moisture targets, grain spawn production, block inoculation workflow, and a full super-pasteurization SOP with exact temperature and timing specs.
This is built for anyone planning to produce their own substrate rather than order pre-inoculated blocks in, whether that’s a homestead operation getting serious about production, or the early groundwork for a licensed, certified facility. Every step reflects real working practice, not theory: exact ratios, exact weights, and the technique details that only come from years of actually doing this.
Delivered as a fully editable Word document, ready to adapt to your own facility and operation.

Common questionsBefore we begin
-
You'll receive a complete feasibility assessment within 21 days of kickoff: site review, market analysis, a preliminary financial model, regulatory considerations, and a clear go or no-go recommendation. Many clients move directly into buildout and launch afterward.
-
No. Early planning is often the best time to align production goals, footprint, utilities and budget, before a lease or purchase locks in constraints.
-
Yes. Farm Launch is also built for operating farms fixing contamination, workflow or margin issues.
-
Yes. MycoTex maintains a Colorado headquarters and active Central Texas operations, with client engagements nationally.
-
MycoTex is the research, technology and consulting company. Fallen Oak is a sister company, a commercial mushroom producer that serves as a real-world testbed for MycoTex systems before they're offered more broadly.
-
Not at all. You can always book a call directly, with or without purchasing anything first.
-
No. Concept plans are a technical head start and still require review by your local architect, engineer and permitting authority.
-
Most ongoing work runs on a monthly retainer scoped to your project. Book a discovery call and I'll put together a custom proposal.
