Most farms are places you buy from. This one is a place you spend a day in — and the day is the argument.
How the hours go
Farm days run to the land, not to a timetable. This is the shape of one.
- 07:00
Arrive
Coffee at reception while the beds are still cool and the birds are loud.
- 07:30
Walk the ground
The market gardens, the greenhouses and the compost, in the order the water travels.
- 09:30
Into the beds
Cut, lift and pack alongside the team. Nobody watches from a path.
- 11:00
Under the trees
The food forest and the agroforestry belts — what was a stick four years ago.
- 13:00
The long table
Lunch outdoors, grown within sight of where you are sitting.
- 15:00
Sit still
The pond, the shade, the Ngong Hills going blue in the distance.
- 16:30
The shop
Take home what was cut this morning.
