A dairy cow worth KSh 100,000+ often gets a comfortable shed. But what about the worker who cares for it? On many farms, the people who keep everything running are the most overlooked asset of all.
Fair pay, safety, dignity, decent housing — it's not charity, it's smart farming. Workers who feel valued protect your farm, boost your yields, and stick around.

Strong, healthy goats begin with proper nutrition in their earliest days of life.

The first weeks after birth are critical in determining a goat kid's growth, immunity, and future productivity. Providing colostrum on time, introducing quality forage early, ensuring access to clean water and minerals, and following the right weaning practices can significantly improve survival rates while reducing feeding costs.

Whether you are a new or experienced goat farmer, adopting the right feeding practices lays the foundation for a healthier and more productive herd.

Learn the recommended feeding schedule and practical tips by reading the full article on The Organic Farmer website.

Did you know you can make your own fermented organic fertilizer using locally available materials? Bokashi manure is an eco-friendly, cost-effective way to improve soil fertility, boost beneficial microorganisms, and grow healthier crops.

Here's how to make Bokashi manure:

Step 1: Gather your materials:

Farmyard manure
Charcoal dust
Bran
Molasses
Yeast
Water
Rock dust or wood ash
Rice husks (optional)

Step 2: Lay farmyard manure as the first layer.

Step 3: Add charcoal dust and bran evenly.

Step 4: Mix water, molasses, and yeast separately.

Step 5: Sprinkle the liquid mixture over the heap while turning it thoroughly.

Step 6: Check the moisture—it should form a ball when squeezed without dripping water.

Step 7: Ferment for 14 days, turning the heap morning and evening for the first 7 days, then once daily until day 14.

After fermentation, Bokashi is ready to enrich your soil. Remember not to place it directly in contact with seeds or roots, as it is still partially decomposed.

Discover why more farmers are embracing Bokashi manure and learn its full benefits in our latest article.
