What your team outing looks like

A programme of about 2 hours that combines team building, sustainability and learning something completely new — in the middle of Amsterdam-Noord.

  1. Welcome & introduction

    Coffee, tea and a short introduction to the wonderful world of fungi and urban farming.

  2. Guided tour of the farm

    The whole team walks through our high-tech, circular farm: from substrate and residual streams to harvest.

  3. Hands-on workshop

    Everyone starts their own grow kit and picks the species: oyster mushrooms in several colours, lion’s mane or shiitake.

  4. Harvest & take-home kit

    We finish with fresh mushrooms and recipes to cook at home. Everyone leaves with their own grow kit.

Why this is sustainable team building

Tuintje van Adam is a circular urban mushroom farm in Amsterdam-Noord, founded in 2020 by Chris Bondam. We grow gourmet mushrooms on residual streams from the city and supply them to Amsterdam restaurants. What is left of the substrate after the harvest is not thrown away: it becomes mycelium compost for city gardens. On the tour your team sees that loop with their own eyes.

  • ±600grow bags produced each day
  • 50+Amsterdam restaurants supplied
  • 100%of used substrate becomes mycelium compost

What you take home

  • Your own grow kit. Everyone starts it themselves during the workshop, and keeps it growing at home.
  • Fresh mushrooms. Straight from our farm, to cook with at home.
  • Recipes. So those mushrooms end up nicely on the plate.

Pick your species

Everyone chooses which mushroom goes into their own grow kit:

  • Oyster mushroomin several colours
  • Lion’s maneHericium erinaceus
  • ShiitakeLentinula edodes

More about these species, with their Latin names, on what we grow.
