How renting a plot works.
There is no application process and nothing to qualify for. If a plot is free and it suits what you want to grow, you can agree a term and start preparing it.
Nothing here needs farming experience. It needs a plot, water and someone willing to be on it regularly.
WhatsApp us- 01
Send a message
Tell us roughly what you want to grow and how much space you think you need. We will tell you honestly whether one plot is enough.
- 02
Walk the farm
Come and see it. We meet you at the gate, walk the blocks, show you the water line and the plots that are actually free.
- 03
Pick your plot
Choose a plot, or two adjoining ones. It is pegged and numbered, so you know exactly what you are taking on.
- 04
Agree a term
Six or twelve months, paid monthly. The agreement sets out the fee, the term and how water is billed, and it ends on the date it says. Nothing rolls over on its own, so staying on means signing again before then.
- 05
Prepare the ground
Clear, plough and make your beds, either yourself or with our land preparation service. Manure and compost can be brought straight to the plot.
- 06
Connect the water
Your meter is read and recorded on the day you start. From then on you are billed only for the units you use.
- 07
Plant
Seedlings are available on the farm. Plant it yourself or have us do the transplanting for you.
- 08
Grow it on
Weed, spray and harvest on your own schedule. Take extra hands by the day when a cycle needs them.
What it costs
Everything you pay, in one place.
- The plot fee
- From KSh 2,000 a month, paid monthly for the length of your term.

- A deposit
- Refundable, held for your term and returned after the final reading and inspection.
- Water
- Metered on your plot and billed separately, by the units you use.
- Anything you ask for
- Manure, seedlings, land preparation, labour. All quoted before the work starts.
There is a growers’ group.
Growers on our sites share a WhatsApp group. People ask what is worth planting this season, what a pest turns out to be, and where they are selling. We are in it too.
It is free and it is not compulsory. Plenty of people here are planting for the first time, and the fastest answers usually come from someone two plots over who tried the same thing last season.
Ask to join the groupWhat it is not
It is not farming advice from us, and nothing said in it is a promise about what your plot will do. What you plant and how you treat it is your decision. If you want the work done properly by someone else, that is what the paid services are for.
Come and see the land.
Walk the plots, look at the water, and pick the one that suits you. No pressure to take anything on the day.
Or call +254 700 000 000. WhatsApp is usually quicker.
