Step inside the artisan tunnels at The Old Mushroom Farm and take a slow walk through what’s been unfolding this month. Behind each brick arch, bakers, designers, herbalists and makers are at work; creating with care. More than retail, the tunnels house working studios shaped by real people, real process and a shared commitment to thoughtful creation in the KZN Midlands.

In a world bombarded with speed, slow travel offers a more fulfilling way to explore. Rooted in presence, sustainability, and meaningful engagement, it invites travellers to linger, connect, and experience a place more deeply. In the KZN Midlands, this approach feels natural, textured by meandering drives, local craft, and the quiet rhythm of farm life at The Old Mushroom Farm.
