About Me
Hello everyone,My name is Linda from Kenya,Meru county.I am a wife,mother of 4 daughters.I run a groceries shop here in Meru town.I am passionate about fresh food from Shamba,I love the aroma.My wish is my customers enjoy fresh food and live a healthy life.How it started;I used to visit my country side and I realized there is huge post harvest losses that farmers undergo vs here in town people were struggling to get fresh food.I realized I found the GAP and I need to FILL the GAP ASAP.That how I started my business.
I do help the farmers sell their produce with ease and avoid post harvest losses and the end users enjoy fresh food direct from the farms.
My vision in the next five years is to have a huge groceries store with processing and cooling machinery to add value to the produce and avoid losses we undergo due perishability of the produce.
Support farmers with buying farm inputs through contract farming, training them on good farming practices.
