Echuka Farm in Limuru, off the Nairobi-Nakuru superhighway was the ideal farm back in the day.

Surrounded by a river that supplied it with water when it was not raining, the farm sat on a 30-acre piece of land and was green all year round. It was the model farm for aspiring local farmers who came to get inspiration in livestock and crop farming.
