Why Buy?​

There are many good reasons why a buyer might be interested in purchasing the farm. Below are various ideas that have been mentioned as having good prospects:

Farming​

  1. ​Maintain the status quo - a profitable and well run dairy operation. Suited to anyone with good management skills and knowledge of animal husbandry. 
  2. Expand the existing dairy business by investing in processing and packaging technology - e.g. for the production of cheese, yoghurt, UHT milk, cream and other dairy products. These are all in short supply on the local market. ​
  3. Develop a cattle breeding program for sale of young stock and breeding animals of high quality.​
  4. Available water, high altitude and plenty of sunshine, makes the farm ideal for horticultural developments​.
  5. Use as base for various types of farming: pigs, sheep, chickens etc..
  6. Use as a highland fruit cultivation location: apples, pears, soft fruits (e.g. strawberries / raspberries / blackberries), figs, peaches etc..
  7. Use for vegetable production for the local and export markets. ​
  8. Use for cut flowers and flower seed production for export​ through Nairobi or Kilimanjaro airports.
