Our Aim
Farm Share aims to be a fully agro-ecologically integrated SME selling high-quality poultry products and safe vegetables and herbs to health-conscious consumers in Nairobi and its environs and the export market.

What We Do
Farm Share Methodology
Our methodology involves working closely with smallholder farmers to develop sustainable, inclusive and integrated agro-ecological value chains. We take a holistic approach that covers the entire value chain, from planning and preparation to production, aggregation, value addition, marketing, and distribution.
Current Value Chain and Supporting Infrastructure
To support this approach, we have registered and set up Village Agribusiness Promotion Centre(s) in the counties, where we anchor the model and commercially develop selected agro-ecological value chains. Our current value chains are Vegetables, Herbs, Potatoes, Poultry, and Rabbits. We are proud to have supporting infrastructure that includes a comprehensive and integrated local Poultry Value Chain, complete with a breeding shelter, a hatchery, a feed factory, and a semi-mechanized chicken slaughterhouse. Additionally, we run a registered Seed Raising Nursery by Horticultural Crops Directorate (HCD) and certified by Kenya Plant Health Inspectorate Service (KEPHIS).
Village Agribusiness Promotion Centre(s)
Our Village Agribusiness Promotion Centre(s) serve as critical components for the commercialization of cluster-based agribusiness initiatives aimed at developing commercially viable and integrated agro-ecological value chain ecosystems at the village level. The centres identify viable value chains, prepare production protocols, engage and organize farmers into producer groups, build their capacity, provide them with production support, monitor their production activities, and ensure they access necessary support throughout the value chain to enable them to maximize production in accordance with required market quality standard
