The Philosophy Behind the Partnerships

Wander State exists because of the friends who care for the places we love. Monterey Nutra cultivates our functional mushrooms with scientific precision and sustainable practices. Forest Farmers taps maple water from sustainably managed forests while keeping forests thriving. Outdoor Alliance advocates for the public lands and outdoor experiences where we connect and recharge.

Every time you enjoy Wander State — on a hike, at a party, reading a book, or in everyday motion — you're tapping into a network of people and places built around care.

Monterey Nutra Mushroom Cultivation

Mushrooms, Sustainably Grown

Monterey Nutra grows functional mushrooms with an unwavering commitment to sustainability — from solar-powered farms to renewable substrates that divert waste from landfills.

Their mushrooms grow on renewable compost, hardwood sawdust, and organic sorghum, using minimal water and locally sourced materials to reduce food miles. Solar-powered facilities keep energy use low. After harvest, "spent" substrate becomes nutrient-rich soil amendment for farms and landscaping. Every batch is third-party tested, and every step honors both scientific rigor and environmental responsibility.

Their mushrooms bring the goodness — we keep it crisp and refreshing.

Maple Water From Thriving Forests

Forest Farmers sustainably harvests the essence of New York and Vermont's diverse forests — over 9,000 acres in the Adirondack and Green Mountains that are home to some of the most beautiful and productive forests in the world.

Their approach focuses on maintaining diverse forests with a wide variety of tree species, not just maples. This biodiversity creates healthier ecosystems and more supportive habitats for wild inhabitants. The forests produce certified organic saps, syrups, and sugar, while also providing foraging opportunities for wild leeks, fiddleheads, berries, and mushrooms. It's forest farming that honors the land's natural diversity.

When your sweetener comes straight from the forest, you don't need much else.
