My name is Geoffrey Siocha from Nakuru - Lanet division. I was born and raised up in Kisii County in Kenya.
I grew up in Kisii which is an agricultural zone and is evergreen and fertile. We were introduced to farming at a tender age since our parents were full-time farmers. They practiced both livestock and crop farming in large scale.
I started rabbit farming soon after my secondary school upon arrival in Nakuru. The demand for rabbit meat was high and I spotted an opportunity and went for it.
I keep about 20 rabbits and I am planning to enlarge my current rabbit pen to accommodate about 100 rabbits.
Besides rabbit rearing, I have managed to rear chicken and dairy goats over time. I currently have 200 chickens and two dairy goats.
I have also been able to open a small information center to serve my community. The center has gradually grown with the help of Zidisha. I help to improve computer literacy skills to the members of my community for the betterment of the future since there is a great advancement in technology in our country and beyond.
I currently intend to buy seats that are more comfortable, in my information center, to curb the challenge that I have heard from customer complaints in the recent days
I want to add Some feeds since I have finished the ones I bought. My chickens are improving with the rate of production is increasing dearly after the introduction of the feeds that they are currently feeding on.
