Smallhold

Smallhold is a specialty organic mushroom company founded in 2017 by Andrew Carter and Adam DeMartino and headquartered in Brooklyn, New York. A Certified B Corporation, Smallhold grows gourmet mushroom varieties — including blue oyster, lion's mane, maitake, royal trumpet, and shiitake — using modular, automated "minifarm" growing environments designed for distributed, locally grown supply to grocery retailers and restaurants. Its public presence is a direct-to-consumer and retail-partner storefront built on Shopify; the company publishes no first-party developer API, developer portal, or API documentation. This profile was added to the API Evangelist network as a Techstars portfolio lead and run through the enrichment pipeline, which confirmed no bespoke API surface — only Shopify's platform OAuth discovery documents are exposed on the shop domain.

Smallhold is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Agriculture, Food and Beverage, Mushrooms, and Sustainability.

Smallhold’s developer surface includes engineering blog and 4 more developer resources.

Create-or-Update Ergonomics could not be measured. We hold no machine-readable contract for this provider to read, so there is nothing to measure a write surface against. Excluded rather than scored zero: never-measured and measured-empty are different facts. Publishing an OpenAPI is what makes this facet — and several others — scorable at all.

Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/. Every facet and dimension name above is a link: it opens that measurement's own page — what it means, the exact checks that feed it, how the whole catalog distributes on it, and the providers at the top of it. This rating is computed from github.com/api-evangelist/smallhold: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts.
