Curious about garden volunteering in the KZN Midlands? Meet the volunteers helping grow the food garden at The Old Mushroom Farm and hear about their experience.

Reclaiming your attention has become a new kind of luxury. At The Old Mushroom Farm in the KZN Midlands, digital distraction is... structurally discouraged. It's true, there’s little cell reception, no TVs, and wifi that comes and goes. But we like it that way! It means slower mornings, real conversations, and time that feels like your own again. This is a digital detox farm stay for people who’d rather go frolic in a field than doomscroll.

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.
