In addition to our commitment to quality and service to our customers, at Kaolin we also assume a leadership role in meeting our responsibilities to our employees and their families, as well as our community and our environment. We do so by way of policies, practices, attitude and action.

Below are a few examples of our Community Stewardship:

We pay for a basic health insurance plan and life insurance plan for all our employees.

We are a smoke-free facility.

At the end of September of this year, Kaolin Mushroom Farms, Inc., was the only mushroom/agricultural company in the area to be invited to participate in the Kennett School District’s first ever Science Fair. For 2 days, Kaolin representatives met with groups of students from 4th through 8th grade to present and demonstrate the process and science of mushroom growing. Hundreds of students got the chance to wear hairnets and beard nets and see and hear about the skills and knowledge needed to grow, harvest and transport mushrooms, the largest cash crop in Pennsylvania. Time will tell as to how many were inspired at the Science Fair to become future mushroom growers.
