Soko HarvestLiving Farm Estate
The estate from the air at golden hour — greenhouses and market garden beds in the foreground, the pond and the main house at the centre, livestock paddocks and orchard beyond, and the Kajiado plains running to distant hills.

Two acres of semi-arid Kajiado. Rain twice a year, gone by evening. Designed properly, that is not a constraint — it is an ecosystem.

The method, in four lines

  1. 01Cover the ground.
  2. 02Keep living roots in it.
  3. 03Move the animals.
  4. 04Plant trees that will outlive you.

The yields follow. They always do.

The estate — 2.17 acres

Every roof drains to a tank. The compost sits between the stock and the beds. The road is one loop with no dead ends.

It leaves here the morning it is cut

Kitchens that care where it came from, and households that would rather not guess. Quality before quantity — we never sell more than the ground can carry.

Cut this morning

We are not farming the way it was done before. We are farming the way this particular piece of ground wants to be farmed.

Letters from the farm

What is ripe, what went wrong, what we are planting next. Once a month, from the people doing it.
