What you need to know:

  • In 2017, he switched to keeping pigs, injecting into the business Sh2 million from his savings.
  • Peter Tafao, the owner of the 12-acre farm, is checking on his birds, with the help of some workers when Seeds of Gold team arrives.

About 28 kilometres from Sigalagala Polytechnic in Imanga village, Butere, Kakamega County, we find Boresha Farm.

Hosting thousands of chickens and pigs kept under modern practices, the farm can best be described as a hidden gem.
