people, where can I buy barley seeds that can be sprouted? I am near Timau area but nobody appears to have the seeds to sell? Quality to me doesn't matter as long as they can germinate.
When I have money, I get rid of it quickly, lest it find a way into my heart.

Why not contact any of the barley growers and buy the grain? Or find out where keroche gets their barley.
If you want to sprout the 'seed' to feed animals i think you should go for 'seed/grain' without those added seed treatment chemicals since the sprouts are fed to animals after only 7-8 days and i dont think that's enough time to degrade the chemicals. Thus, i wouldn't recommend sourcing from Kenya seed.

Kenya seed don't have... and even if they had it would be very expensive because theirs is for planting hence sold at a premium price.

none of the farmers will sell to you.... EAML has tied their hands with contracts...

so we need another strategy... like importing from zimbabwe or south africa or wherever... or growing our own.....
