Why visit Limuru and Kiambu Tea and Coffee Highlands?
The Limuru and Kiambu highlands close to Nairobi provide a practical introduction to tea, coffee, vegetables, flowers and fruit production. Cool temperatures, productive soils and established road links make the area suitable for a detailed first day farm programme. A coffee visit may explain nursery management, field establishment, pruning, soil fertility, shade, pest management, harvesting, pulping, fermentation, washing, drying, roasting and tasting. A tea visit may cover field management, plucking, leaf handling, processing principles and tasting. The final activities depend on the selected host and the crop season. A second farm may demonstrate vegetables, flowers or a small fruit orchard. Visitors can learn about propagation, irrigation, crop protection, harvesting, grading and post harvest handling. The programme may include a meal prepared with locally produced ingredients and time for discussion with farmers. No individual private farm is promised before the host confirms access. Photography, practical participation and entry to processing areas depend on safety, hygiene, biosecurity and business confidentiality.
