New, strict work ethics for Peasant Shamba's watu wa mikono

The Peasant Farmer, as with many Wakenya watukufu, decided to travel during this festive season and visit friends and relatives. Of course, the dependable Peasant Shamba jalopy carried mavuno, which the Peasant Farmer distributed to his friends and relatives the way the supposed Three Wise Men gifted gold, frankincense and myrrh to baby Jesus.

You can bet that because he practises animal and plant husbandry, most of the Peasant Farmer's friends are wakulima wa aina mbali mbali. So he drove all the way from the extra-hot Kisumo to the extra-cold Nyandarua to visit Mzee Mwireri, a no nonsense 'mkulima wa exports' who does all sorts of horticulture. He is a rich farmer.
