Our Story & Philosophy

Some of the most enduring things begin quietly — not with a grand plan, but with a deep familiarity that feels like second nature. For our family, that familiarity was farming.

Growing up we were shaped by communities where the land was not a business asset but a way of life. Mixed farming—a cow here, a kitchen garden there, a few sheep on the hillside—was simply how families sustained themselves and each other. You learned to read the soil, to understand the seasons, and to appreciate that every harvest, however small, was the result of patience and care.

That upbringing never left us. Years later, what began as a quiet return to those roots—a hobby, a weekend project, a way of staying connected to something real—gradually became something larger. The more we farmed, the more we saw an opportunity: not just to farm for ourselves, but to build something that could serve the community around us.

Our core belief

We believe that there is no waste — only resources waiting to be placed where they create value. By integrating units, we cycle nutrients, lower costs and build resilience.

Our vision

We are a family farming two pieces of land in the highlands of Kenya, trying to do it well. Doing it well—demonstrating what sustainable, integrated, community‑rooted agribusiness looks like in practice—is itself a contribution to sustainable livelihoods.

Our vision is to be a model family agribusiness: producing high‑quality milk, livestock, and crops sustainably, while creating value for our community and for the generations that will come after us. We are building that model one season at a time.

Our farms

Today, BaFarm operates across two farms in Nyandarua County, each with its own character and purpose. Our farm in Ol Joro Orok sits in cooler highland terrain, where the climate is well‑suited to our Holstein Friesian dairy herd and our Hampshire Down sheep. It is where milk is produced with care, and where the rhythms of a working dairy shape every morning.

Our Ndaragwa farm is warmer and broader in its purpose—home to our Dorper sheep, our fodder and feed crop production, our agroforestry work, and our apiary. Together, the two farms form an integrated system, each one supporting and informing the other.

This integration is not accidental. It reflects how we were taught to farm—with nothing wasted, everything connected, and the long view always in mind.
