Under the Lithuanian Rural Development Programme 2014–2020 measure "Economy and Business Development", activity area "Support for the establishment of young farmers", a project is being implemented - the establishment of a shiitake farm. Project No. 19JU-KA-21-1- 03853-PR001.

The establishment of a small farm in the Lazdijai district promotes the vitality of agricultural activities and at the same time reduces the economic stagnation of the rural area.
The establishment and development of a shiitake mushroom farm is an unconventional type of farming – it is not a common and widespread agricultural activity in Lithuania. The atypical and high biological value production created on the farm brings diversity to the market, since large farms usually grow standard agricultural products, mushrooms are grown industrially in greenhouses. The production of exceptional products creates the competitiveness of the farm.
