VEGETABLES

Mlango Farm delivers fresh vegetables straight from the farm on a daily basis to top hotels and restaurants in Nairobi who want to ensure traceability, best and fresh quality.

Since 2007, the fertile but then neglected farmland of Mlango was cleared and planted with fruit trees and vegetables. About 10 acres are now under irrigation.

At Mlango Farm we aim at a sustainable way of farming, without using chemical pesticides or synthetic fertilizers. In 2010 Mlango Farm has been certified by Encert for organic crop production. This certificate has now expired, but nonetheless Mlango is working the same way as before, learning and improving day by day.

For individual households in Nairobi we deliver weekly farmshare baskets with a variety of fresh vegetables. We literally share the harvest with our ‘share-holders’. You can sign up to this farmshare for only 1,250 Ksh per week. The basket comprises of at least 10 varieties and changes weekly, depending on availability. One basket is enough for 4 or 5 meals.

We deliver to different areas in Nairobi.
