The farm produces shiitake mushrooms, oyster mushrooms and will soon be adding different varieties. The mushrooms are naturally grown and the farm avoids the use of any type of chemicals.

Kinz farm mushrooms is the first ever farm to build a climate controlled traditional earth rammed structure specifically for mushroom production and has been successful by producing mushrooms commercially even during the off seasons.
