Sitting on twelve acres are tomatoes, French beans and as well as chilies. At Joska, Machakos County, Samson Ng’ang’a also grows cabbages and leek onions.

The area is largely dominated by quarry activities, but for Samson, venturing into horticultural farming in a semi-arid region is a golden treasure.
