About Me

Am henry sangok a father a business man and a passionate farmer hailling from the shurburbs of nakuru county in my good country kenya, I schooled upto college level unfortunatley finding a job in my field of study was hard, I had to find ways to survive and break idleness and feeling desparate straight after college, I joined my parents who used to do farming as their way to earn a living, Its in the year 2017 when my neigbour made lots of money from potato farming that made me gain intrest in farming and instead of just going their work as a labourer to earn my labour pay i started thinking what if i try my best and lease a land to start emulating my neighbour.
My father received some money from a land they sold as a family and decided to support my venture, Little did i know this was the break through for my family, My focus and intrest grew when i received my first income from selling potatoes which made 100 percent profit.
I have so far managed to lease more land asked my parents to relax at home and educate my sibllings, AM now looking forward to builiding my own house where i will move in with my supportive wife and children.

My Business

I run six acres of land where i plant potatoes, 3 acres where i pant tomatoes and a half an acre which is a test plot to monitor diseases and do some soil test, with a seasonal harvest we normally make good profit of about 80 to 100 percent of the investments made. High cost of farm inputs and maintanancce cost is what affects many of farmers in my country however with security, insurance and good farm practice we manage to achieve our targets and cater for labour, inputs and employes.
