Back to the Roots was founded by Alejandro Velez & Nikhil Arora.\\xa0 They came across the idea\\xa0during a class lecture\\xa0of being able to potentially grow gourmet mushrooms entirely on recycled coffee grounds. Inspired by the idea of turning waste into wages & fresh, local food, they became full-time urban mushroom farmers and Back to the Roots was born!
