Tianmei Agriculture's farm in Lanhe Town, Nansha, Guangzhou covers about 51 acres in three parts: more than 200 grow rooms for mushrooms, nearly 150 standard tanks for Phoenix Golden Tilapia, and about 38 acres of rice and chili peppers grown in rotation. Everything is grown to order for wholesale markets, food distributors, restaurants, retail and e-commerce in China.
What grows in the grow rooms?
Each grow room holds one variety, with temperature, humidity and harvest timing controlled, so the mushrooms fruit year-round. There are eight mushrooms and one specialty vegetable:
- Golden ear, morel, maitake (hen of the woods) and cauliflower mushroom
- Bolete, red-volva bamboo fungus, phoenix oyster and lingzhi (reishi)
- Belgian endive
They are sold fresh, with dried on request. The minimum order is one case, and different varieties can be combined in one order.
What is raised in the tanks?
The tanks raise Phoenix Golden Tilapia. Before harvest the fish spend 21 days in clean water without feed, which removes the muddy taste and firms the flesh. There is no black belly lining, no pin bones, and no antibiotics are used. Each fish is about 750 g, sold live or chilled, and it can be eaten raw as yusheng or sashimi. There are also frozen and canned products.
What grows in the fields?
About 38 acres of rice and chili peppers are grown in rotation and harvested by season, with dates confirmed per order.
What does grown to order mean?
Orders come first. Buyers say which varieties, sizes and delivery dates they need, and the farm plans its rooms, tanks and fields around those orders, so produce is harvested fresh rather than grown for stock.
How fast is delivery, and can you visit?
Delivery is nationwide in China, Guangdong first: same day to Guangdong wholesale markets, and by courier next day at the latest within Guangdong.
