Retired Agriculture teacher finding joy in Coffee farming
When Joseph Barsulai hung his teaching boots at St Patrick’s High School in 2015, he tried several ideas before he settled on farming. Six years down the line, Barsulai owns a half an acre coffee farm in Keiyo South. At first, he ventured into maize farming but made losses. After some research, he settled on coffee farming.
