Why visit Nanyuki Agricultural Region?
Nanyuki and the surrounding Laikipia highlands provide access to cereal farms, dairy processing, cheese production and sustainable mixed farming initiatives. The region also offers views toward Mount Kenya and acts as a link between central Kenya agriculture and the northern landscapes. The programme explores wheat and barley production from land preparation and crop establishment through field care, harvesting, storage and market use. A cheese making visit explains milk selection, curd formation, heating, shaping, maturation and storage, followed by tasting where permitted. An agroforestry and sustainable farming session examines the integration of trees with crops, soil improvement, composting, organic manure, water conservation, biodiversity and climate resilience. The exact combination is confirmed according to host operations and the season.
