A guided walk through the farm
Walk the vegetable beds, the fruit trees and the forest with one of our farm guides. We show you how we build healthy soil, save water and grow without chemicals, and you are welcome to ask everything.
Book a visitKaribu sana to Mlango Farm, Ngecha
Come in through the farm gate
Mlango means door in Swahili. Ours opens onto an organic farm in the art village of Ngecha, 45 minutes from Nairobi, where neglected family land has grown into fruit trees, vegetable beds and a place for families, schools and gardeners to learn.
- 45 minutes from Nairobi. In Ngecha, the art village near Limuru.
- Organic since 2007. Soil first, no chemical sprays.
- Delivered in Nairobi. Every harvest goes to households in town.
2007
The year we started bringing tired family land back to life.
Kenyan warmth with a little Dutch gezelligheid
What was once neglected family land is now a thriving oasis of fruit trees and bountiful crops. Since 2007 we have nurtured the soil and reaped the rewards: healthy, organic produce that goes straight to kitchens in Nairobi.
Visitors find a calm place to unwind and enjoy rural life, with the welcome of a Kenyan home and the cosiness the Dutch call gezelligheid. Every visit enriches both soul and soil.
We hope you feel at home here, and leave inspired to connect with people and with nature.

Room for children to roam

My son absolutely loved the farm and so did I. I was wondering if it’s possible to visit the farm this Friday again?
We all had such an amazing time at your farm, and I’m already thinking about when I can come back.
Congratulations again on the amazing baskets you deliver us. It is a delight each week to take out all the vegetables and admire them, and then cook and eat them of course!
We had a lovely time! Els promised to share her amazing chocolate cake recipe. Please could you send it on to me?
We visited your farm in the past and found it an absolutely fascinating and amazing place. Is it possible to order a basket of your veggies to Nairobi every week?
