Our story

It started with 0.25 acres at Athi River

In 2007, AFarmers was a quarter-acre farm in Machakos County. When a buyer walked away from 75,000 cabbages at harvest, the search for answers became a Facebook group - and the group became the Africa Farmers Club.

Today that community sits alongside AFarmers Media and services for agri businesses, with recognition including the AgriFin Awards 2021.
