Migombani Organic Farm

I am a certified Permaculture Design Course graduate. Through my knowledge and practicing permaculture farming,I realized that the soil ph wasn’t good to successfully produce high-quality crops. Decades of monocultures and industrial agriculture depleted the soil of its nutrients and its capability of hosting plants, sentencing it to sterility before I started my practice. This problem not only affected Migombani, but also hundreds of other farmers in the coastal region. I had to find a new way to change the soil features and needed to drastically change methodology. That’s how i decided to shift to agroforestry, and more precisely to syntropic farming. 

My grandfather was a farmer at Takaungu Village in Kilifi County, Kenya, and so he passed the green thumb to his family including me, that’s why am very passionate about farming. Now when I founded Migombani Organic Farm, my motivating factor is to be an example for other small-holder farmers, youths and big companies to show that it is possible to make a profit while restoring the environment. I also believe that in order for food to be healthful, the environment in which it grows has to be healthy and the best methodology of practicing a sustainable farming system is Syntropic farming model
