About Mlango Farm

Mlango Farm was started in 2007 on the Mundia family land in Ngecha by Els Breet Kamande and her late husband, Kamande Njenga (1960-2023). Kamande’s broad business experience, sense of hospitality, his knowledge of Kenya and its people together with Els’ work experience in international diplomatic, environmental and educational institutions proved a good base to start a farm together. Over the years a neglected farmland was turned into a heaven on earth, a beautiful organic farm with over 50 different types of crops growing, providing a livelihood for people from the Ngecha community. The passion and love for the project can be seen and felt when guests are visiting the family home at Mlango Farm.

Mlango Farm is trading under the registered company Ngecha Organics Limited. Bank account: Equity Bank – Limuru, 0690284861888

Ongoing projects:
We are developing a natural playground in the forest. For over 17 years, we’ve been pioneers in Kenya, growing organic vegetables with love and care. We’ve welcomed over 10,000 children, mostly from the bustling city of Nairobi, and shown them how we work in harmony with nature—because we believe their future depends on it.
But we’re dreaming even bigger. Our new goal? We want to give far more than 10,000 children the chance to experience nature, to taste it, to smell it. We want to create a large natural playground to explore, be creative and learn in and from nature.  And that’s just the beginning. Curious to see what’s next? Check out our plans.

Volunteers:
For various ongoing projects, where we look for specific skills and expertise, we are  always happy to welcome volunteers in our community. Please see our profile on Workaway and Wwoof. 

Education:
Mlango Farm supports the Mlango Farm Foundation, an organization that offers school visits and various courses on agriculture on the farm. The educational work of the Mlango Farm Foundation is supported by the Stichting Mlango Farm in The Netherlands.

Mlango Farm grows in a sustainable way, following the rule of the 5 R’s: we Refuse, Reduce, Recycle, Re-use, and Rot our resources as much as we can. We make and collect Ecobricks (building blocks made of plastic waste) to reduce the amount of plastic waste in our environment. Soon we will build a cottage made of ecobricks and cob. We will be happy to tell you more about it!

Sometimes we are fully booked or not at home to welcome you, so please make sure to book an appointment before coming to the farm.
