We’ve lived in Malawi since 2015, and after the first few years we knew we wanted to stay and create an eco-lodge for people to come and see the beauty that Malawi has to offer. While traveling in Madagascar in 2018 we met a couple on Nosy Be Island that inspired us to go for it! By 2019 we were in conversation with the previous owners of Mushroom Farm, and in early 2020 we took over. The rest is history!

Continue to create a gathering space for all in the northern mountains of Malawi, while preparing our team to take over + run Mushroom Farm Eco-Lodge on their own.
