My name is Anastacia Njeri Mwangi I was born in 1956 at leshau village in ndaragwa in nyandarua county during these days my country had not got independence. I attended st John catholic school the only school there was in the vicinity. I was able to move up to STD 6. Most parent did not believe in educating a girl child. So I dropped out of school and went to work in farms as a casual laborer. With my little saving I was able to purchase a piece of land In rift valley at gitare settlement scheme. This is where I do farming up to date. I am married and blessed with 5 children who are all adults.
My business is basically farming at my farm in gitare scheme in gilgil town. I grow green vegetables, kales, cabbages, potatoes, onions, tomatoes etc. I started commercial farming after I realized there was a great demand for these produce in all urban areas where no food is grown. I also carry out dairy farming. I have 12 milk cows which gives me between 40 and 60 liters of milk daily. I sell my produce at farm gate prices to retailers who came to correct from as far as Nairobi. For the milk it is collected every morning by olkarou dairies were I am paid at end month. The income I get from the farm is substantially good because I have been able to educate all my children. I have also been able to build a house where I live in. The only challenge I face is luck of a cooler to preserve milk from going into waste during hot seasons. With zidisha platform I will be able to overcome these challenges.
Dear lenders much thanks to the zidisha team. i wll now have a chance to expand my farming activities i will buy hybrid fertilizer and seeds of carrots, maize, cabbages, etc to plant in this rainy season. this will give me more harvest for increased profits. i will also construct i traditional charcoal cool for preserving my milk for a better market. i wish you Gods speed as you fill my bids.
