From a vision in Berlin to six acres in Kilifi County — the story of how Keragita Farms began and where we're headed.

Bridging traditional farming knowledge and precision agriculture technology on 6 acres in coastal Kenya.
The Opportunity in Kilifi County
Kilifi County sits in one of Kenya's most climate-vulnerable coastal regions, where 70% of the population lives below the poverty line. Smallholder farmers face erratic rainfall, limited market access, and minimal technology adoption. Keragita Farms is building a model that proves data-driven agriculture can thrive here — creating jobs, improving food security, and generating sustainable returns.
