Tracing Mzee Kenneth Kigoro’s farm from the junction of Embu-Meru Highway is quite easy. Just ask for mzee wa macadamia (the nut farmer) and you are good to go. Almost all locals at Gakwegori Shopping Centre know him because he is the largest producer of macadamia nuts in the locality.
His five-acre farm located in Kiereri village, Mbeti South location, Embu West sub-county, is evergreen with macadamia trees.
