Beauty of growing fodder for sale

What you need to know:

  • Githaiga Kihara's two-acre leased farm hosts two varieties of napier and eight varieties of brachiaria grasses.
  • Kihara, a former primary school teacher, shut his printing business in 2019 to focus on rearing 22 dairy goats.

Githaiga Kihara sits under a shade hosting three plastic chairs and a table on his farm in Chorong’i village, off the Nyeri-Kiandu-Othaya Road.

The shade is his office, he says, as he waits for walk-in customers, who visit the fodder farm to buy the feeds.
