“Everyone should know what a farm looks like and where the food comes from.”

Els Breet is an organic farmer, together with her husband Kamande, she runs Mlango Farm.

Mlango Farm is a beautiful vegetable farm just outside of Nairobi. Kamande and Els started the farm 14 years ago, as an organic farm; 20 acres but not all used. They welcome visitors to Mlango Farm for family day trips, team retreats, birthday parties, etc. The Mlango Farm Foundation welcomes schools for educational visits. They make and collect eco-bricks and we are a House of Artemisia.

In the interview, Els and Beatrice Gatumbo speak about the benefits of organic farming and syntropic agroforestry - and about being able to demonstrate these benefits at the respective farms. Both consider farm visits as a great option to educate their visitors on where and how food is actually grown. It is interesting to listen to them speak about their different target groups and the joy of working at a farm.
