A retired teacher in the rolling hills of Kamune, Mathioya constituency in Murang'a County has earned both fortune, wealth, and fame with his purely organic farming of horticulture crops.

Notably, his efforts in minimising environmental impact and promoting healthy soil and ecosystems by use of natural inputs like cow milk and charcoal dust has earned him a niche in horticulture production as clients troop from far and wide to learn and purchase the produce.

He has a vast wealth of experience, as he has been farming since 2003.

From Hass avocados to coriander to passion fruits to a variety of herbs like rosemary, lemon grass, mint hibiscus to vegetables and the blossoming, mouthwatering tamarillo fruit, Fredrick Muya Kariuki's five-acre farm offers both traditional and improved crop varieties, all organically grown.
