Yum Farm

Yum Farm brings you the ultimate in fresh, home-grown and sustainable product. On a plate.

Yum Farm is owned and run by YMCA Newcastle, an independent charity providing a range of support services to young people in need. All profits from Yum Farm are gifted to the charity to use to provide its services.

For 5 years we ran a mushroom farm growing specialty mushrooms for local restaurants. We used the farm as a way to train and support young people during their transition into employment. During the 5 years we ran the farm over 100 young people were either volunteers, on work placements or were employed at the farm. The majority of them have gone onto full time employment or education because of the training and support they had.

By purchasing a mushroom grow kit from us you will be directly supporting the charity to support young people at their time of greatest need.
