Hi SK.
I am looking for a mentor. Somebody who will guide me through farming. I wanna start farming. Farming of horticultural produce ( tomatoes,onions,kales) and maize. I am looking for somebody who is doing this. I wanna pay you a visit in your home/shamba and see for myself and ask a few questions and get a few tips. I wanna do this thing as a business.
I go to markiti to buy food very early on sato morning hours and I love the way,these guys come with huge lorries full of fresh produce. These dudes mint cash. I wana join the club.
Any tips on how to go about it?

I want to do this one day too. You know,just dress in my simple clothes I normally use while slashing the grass,sit there and watch what they do.
It`s making me anxious imagining what they make!

I suggest you take leave,go to Molo,spend a week with the real folks there then follow the chain to Marigiti.

@Eli,
I have been in farming for some time now,of course with some initial losses,but i have never given up.
Right now i'm in Middle East trying to find out why Israel supply fruits to almost every country,including Kenya. I have gathered lots of info,and have confirmed the way to go is to start with green houses,especially if you want to go vegetable/tomatoes way. You will be in business in season and out of season.
Welcome to farming business

I will be so excited,to get this info and even get his number. I am going into this thing called farming. All the big shots are doing it. From the Moi Family to Kibaki family to the Kenyatta Family...................Men,farming is a must. I have some capital and am raring to go,but first,I have to get knowledge, understanding on the same,not throwing away cash,thinking I know it all,yet am blank! Of course my grandma can farm as well,but that's not the kind of farming am talking about.

@Wanyuru, Won't mind too. God gives,mugikuyu takes. Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm.
