Less than a kilometre from Kianyaga town is a one-acre farm owned by Peter Murimi and Nester Gaturi where mixed farming is all the norm. The farm is dotted with coffee, Hass avocado, pawpaw, macadamia bananas and vegetables. The farm is also home to two cows and chicken.
Nester explains that they went for mixed farming after developing strategies for maximizing land use as nowadays the land is becoming scarce by the day. With no much capital at the beginning, they came up with an enterprise that not only provides work throughout the year but will also increases the productivity of the farm.
