In the rural landscape of Emuhaya Constituency, Vihiga County, Margaret Ahona has transformed her quarter-acre farm into a thriving dairy enterprise.
Ahona started off with two cows 10 years ago; the herd has grown to eight, yielding 100 litres of milk daily.
The dairy farmer says this has been possible because of dedication and proper breeding through artificial insemination (AI) and providing appropriate feeds to enhance milk production.
She sells about 30 per cent of her milk to direct consumers at Sh50 per litre while the remaining bulk is supplied to Vihiga Dairy Cooperative Society, which has recognized her farm as a model for best practices in dairy farming.
