About us

The founder of Ekofungi, Mrs. Ivanka Milenkovic is a biologist and a mycologist. At the beginning of her career she has learned that science translated into practice is purposeful, and practice supported by science is successful, she stands by the belief that nature is the most perfect laboratory and that production that follows nature can only provide progress. Therefore, Ekofungi is based on these principles. Guided exclusively by the biological properties of fungi, very soon Ekofungi became a place of ZERO waste applied principle, and later an example of a real circular economy. Our production model, based on the open source model, is distributed to hundreds of entrepreneurs, who build their successful small business around the world based on the Ekofungi model.

Success story

One of the most remarkable successful Ekofungi students is Miss Chido Govera and her foundation The Future of Hope which networks and provides dignity and food to thousands of women in Zimbabwe and across Africa. We remain in touch with our students and together we weave a network of more humane progress and so we are together in this campaign.

Complete circular approach

Completing our cycle of production, as a necessary link we have introduced our local farmers, producers of organic vegetables. They make the most out of our already used substrate after growing mushrooms. We repurchase their aromatic products according to fair trade principles. Thanks to that, we have created a product that saves time, provides an ideal lunch for anyone who is in a rush and wants to eat perfectly healthy. Our product brings back scents of rustic sorts of vegetables and nature, which we think is the most important.

Our problem

We have wrapped our knowledge, experience, positive energy and love into our bags of vegetable and mushrooms mixtures. Our knowledge and experience are great, but the opportunities to reach the end customer are not. Since we are a small company it is challenging to find support from any investors.

That is why we have decided to ask everyone who believes in true sustainability, not only declarative but applied and tangible, everyone who believes in the open source model, cooperation instead of competition and in everything that we are, to support us.

In order for our products, that exude quality and have a story, to reach the market where they belong, a sum of seven thousand euros is required.

To make sure that you can really experience the true quality of our product, with each payment you will receive a few bags to enjoy the scents of nature.

Our promise

With your support, we will have the ability to get to our consumers through world's largest shopping platforms. If our plan succeeds, and we manage to reach those goals, oyster mushrooms, produced by the Future of Hope foundation, will also find it's way to world's market, and will no longer be isolated.
