Waha & Wild farm in Ras Al Khaimah

Our Farm

From the oasis, into the wild.

Waha is Arabic for oasis - the improbable green heart of the desert. Wild is what grows when nature is given room to breathe.

In Ras Al Khaimah, we grow gourmet and functional mushrooms in climate-controlled rooms and raise pasture-fed poultry on rotational paddocks. Everything is grown for a single purpose: supplying the region's hospitality kitchens and supplement makers with produce at peak potency and freshness.

A UAE supplier, rooted here.

Inside the grow rooms

Climate-controlled. Hand-harvested. Never flown in.

The desert taught us that abundance isn't given, it's cultivated. Every mushroom we harvest is proof that the UAE can feed itself - beautifully, and on its own terms.
Will Jones · Co-Founder & Head Mycologist

What we stand for

Five roots. One farm.

The principles we grow by - from spore and seedling to your kitchen or lab.

Fresh

Harvested the same day we deliver. Nothing sits in a warehouse.

Sustainable

Closed-loop farming, recycled substrate, zero-flight produce.

Local

Grown in the UAE for the UAE. Less than 100km from farm to kitchen.

Chef-grade

Grown to spec for the Emirates' best kitchens - texture, flavour, form.

Wild

Small-batch, biodiverse, and unapologetically flavourful.

What we grow

Fresh from the farm.

Gourmet mushrooms and pasture-raised poultry - grown here in the UAE for the region's hospitality kitchens and supplement makers. Harvested at peak, delivered same-day.

Hericium erinaceus

Our hero mushroom.

Grown in the UAE in climate-controlled rooms. Harvested young for the cleanest bite, then packed whole for chefs - pan-sear it, roast it, or slice it like a scallop. Ready-to-cook, never dried, never shipped from abroad.

How we grow

From seed to your kitchen.

A six-step process, refined daily - transparent from spore to service.

  1. STEP 01

    Sourced with care

    Heritage seed and spore lines chosen for flavour and texture, not shelf life.

  2. STEP 02

    Grown in the UAE

    Climate-controlled grow rooms and desert-adapted greenhouses in Ras Al Khaimah.

  3. STEP 03

    Hand-harvested

    Cut at peak by the same team every morning - no machines, no bruising.

  4. STEP 04

    Packed cold

    Straight into food-grade kraft in a chilled pack house within the hour.

  5. STEP 05

    Same-day driven

    Chef routes before service, home routes on our own refrigerated vans.

  6. STEP 06

    On your table

    From soil to plate in under 24 hours - often under six.
