Come and collect, or we will bring it.

Weekly boxes, the farm shop, and produce cut the morning it reaches you. Tell us what your household eats and we will build the box around it.

By enquiry or phone

We do not run an online checkout. Every box is packed against what actually came out of the ground that week, so it starts with a conversation rather than a cart.

Three sizes, built around you

Contents change every week with the season — the list below is a good week, not a fixed menu. What does not change is that it was cut the morning it reaches you.

The small box — salad leaf, basil, radishes, carrots and herbs in a crate.01

The small box

A typical week: salad leaf, sukuma wiki, terere, cherry tomatoes, carrots, spring onions and a bunch of dhania. Enough for a household that cooks most nights.

Forty-odd crops, chosen twice over

Once for what a kitchen wants, and once for what two and a bit acres of semi-arid Kajiado can grow well. Where those two answers met is the list below.

01

Value per bed, not per acre

Two acres cannot win on maize, so every bed has to earn like a bed. We grow what is worth most in the smallest space and comes back to the same ground three or four times a year.

02

The things that lose most in transit

A butternut is still a butternut a week later. A cut herb, a salad leaf or a bunch of terere is not. We grow what our five and a half hours actually buys you.

03

Greens that belong in this climate

Terere, managu, saga and kunde were grown here long before kale was. They need less water, carry more iron and vitamin A, and do not ask us to fight the weather.

04

Crops that pay the farm back

Legumes fix the nitrogen the greens spend. Trees hold the soil and carry the years the annuals cannot. Flowers bring the bees that set the fruit. Not everything in the ground is grown to be sold.

What is ready, month by month

Pick a month. It opens on the one you are in.

Three steps, no checkout

    01

    Tell us what you eat

    Household size, anything you will not touch, and how often you cook. A sentence is enough.

    02

    We propose a box

    You get a note back with what is in season, what it would cost, and which day it would arrive.

    03

    It starts when you say so

    No contract and no minimum. Pause it for a month, change the size, or stop — a message is all it takes.

The family box — mixed vegetables, fruit and eggs packed in a crate.

Start with one box

Send us a note or call the farm. Somebody who works here will answer, and they will know what is ready this week.
