Our Farm
From our farm on Tamborine Mountain to your home
Our story started with a simple passion: the hidden world of fungi and the life beneath our soil. What began as growing organic, no-spray gourmet mushrooms for local chefs on Tamborine Mountain has grown into a complete range of tools for the modern grower.
Whether you're harvesting your first tabletop mushroom farm or regenerating your soil with our EM-1 probiotic tonics, you're using the exact same professional-grade supplies we trust in our own fields here in the Gold Coast hinterland.
We believe in growing food and building soil the way nature intended — no chemicals, no shortcuts. Just time, care, and a deep respect for the living systems around us.

Collapsible content
Do you deliver fresh mushrooms to the Gold Coast and Brisbane?
Yes — we deliver fresh gourmet mushrooms to the Gold Coast, Scenic Rim, and surrounding regions. Mushroom kits ship free Australia-wide. Fresh mushroom orders are available weekly, sending Monday - Wednesday to metro QLD/NSW/VIC via AusPost Express. Local Tamborine Mountain customers can also collect directly from the farm.
How long do fresh gourmet mushrooms last in the fridge?
Our fresh mushrooms are harvested and packed within a few days giving you maximum shelf life. Store in the provided container or a paper bag (not plastic) in the fridge. Lion's Mane and Shiitake last 5–7 days. Oyster mushrooms are best used within 3–5 days. Avoid storing near strong-smelling foods, as mushrooms absorb aromas easily.
Are your mushroom kits beginner-friendly?
Absolutely. Our mushroom kits are designed to make growing at home as simple as possible — no prior experience needed. Simply open the kit, mist daily, and watch mushrooms appear within 7–14 days. Each kit comes with detailed instructions and our online guides cover everything from setup to harvest. Most customers successfully grow 2–3 flushes from a single kit.
What is bokashi bran and how does it work?
Bokashi bran is wheat bran inoculated with EM-1 (Effective Microorganisms) — beneficial bacteria, yeast, and fungi. When you sprinkle it over kitchen scraps in an airtight bokashi bin, it ferments the food waste rather than letting it rot. The result is a pre-compost that enriches your garden soil, plus bokashi liquid — a powerful liquid fertiliser when diluted 1:100 with water.
Can bokashi composting handle meat and dairy?
Yes — this is one of bokashi's biggest advantages over regular composting. The fermentation process safely handles meat, fish, dairy, cooked foods, and even small bones. The key is maintaining an anaerobic (air-free) environment and using enough bokashi bran. Avoid large amounts of liquid or very wet food waste.
What are fermented plant extracts and are they safe for edible gardens?
Fermented plant extracts (FPEs) are natural liquid fertilisers made by fermenting plant material in molasses and probiotics. They're 100% natural, chemical-free, and completely safe for edible gardens, vegetables, and food crops. In fact, they're far safer than synthetic fertilisers — no risk of burning plants and no chemical residues on your produce.
Do you offer wholesale for restaurants and cafés?
Yes — we supply fresh gourmet mushrooms to restaurants, cafés, and food businesses across the Gold Coast and Scenic Rim. We also offer wholesale on bokashi bran and garden products. Visit our wholesale page or contact us at hello@kaikaifarm.au to discuss your requirements.
