My Business

am a farmer dealing with sale of cabbages after 3 months i usually get ksh 20000 from sale of cabbages. i stil have two dairy cows which on average produce 12kgs of milk per day this mean i have kshs 10000 per hmonth.this cabbages are very good as they fetch money during even dry season as you can irrigate them i also rear 1 cow just to make sure i have milk for the family and still get daily income from milk sales.i still have few chicken just to make sure the family has eggs thus protein which is essential for a balanced diet.chicken are a bit challenging to rear in this area due to extreme cold condition in kinangop,this is brought about by the area nearness to the fold mountain :aberdare ranges which covers the entire nyandarua county,currently am mostly concentrating with cultivation of cabbages which at least is having good market.
