About Me
Iam the Third born in a family of 9 ,Four Sisters and 5 Brothers.Our parents were not well to do and I was privileged to be educated till college.My other sublings were not doing well and dropped out of school. I struggled at times doing manual jobs so as to pay my school fees and also buy food.
I love nature and I love maintaining the environment that i live in. My passion has been to protect nature and this is what drove me to venture into the business of selling tree seedlings.
My Business
I graduated and it was hard for me to find a job. I therefore decided to engage in farming to get income. Through my passion of nature i decided to grow indigenous trees seedlings and sell them. With time i saw some other demand ,In our place tea growing is a major agricultural practice and I saw a need from farmers for improved varieties of seedlings.
I decided to venture into growing tea seedlings in the nursery and selling to farmers.
I search for new clones which i increase then sell them .
As at now i have various varieties of trees.e.g acacia, croton,Gravillea and albicia.
As at now I have built a poultry house and have 19chicken.Of this11 are laying and 8 still young..I wish to expand my poultry to 100 and currently looking for funds to make this happen
