🌞 Make Hay While the Sun Shines! 🌾

At Geotto, we believe partnerships are the heartbeat of impactful change, and our first day at Barnview Hay Farm in Kericho County was proof. Barnview isn't just your average hay supplier—it's a transformative initiative, offering farmers high-quality hay at a fraction of market price. Supported by the World Bank’s Kenya Climate-Smart Agriculture Project (KCSAP), Barnview leased 60 hectares of land to keep hay affordable for farmers at just 150 Ksh per bale, compared to the usual 200-250 Ksh! 💪 Our visit kicked off with a warm welcome from IT Officer Collins Kipyegon, a forward-thinking innovator of the Mercedes Benz beVisioneers Fellowship, and Barnview’s chairman and key operator, Mr. Victor, who gave us an inspiring tour of their state-of-the-art operations. However, Barnview faces real challenges—unpredictable weather and resource constraints- making quality hay production tough. 🌧️ But the team’s dedication is unmatched, and together, we’re determined to support them in creating resilient, sustainable agricultural practices for the region. Stay tuned for more updates on this promising partnership! #Agriculture #ClimateSmart #BarnviewHayFarm #SustainableFarming #Kenya
