Nyeri Hill Farm

Local life / community

Nyeri, Nyeri County, Kenya

A large working estate where more than a century of coffee, tea, livestock, education, and community institutions meet.

Why go

Why visit this place?

Nyeri Hill Farm connects the coffee or tea in a traveler's cup to a specific landscape of volcanic soil, labor, processing, institutions, and changing agricultural practice. Its long relationship with the Catholic Archdiocese of Nyeri also gives the farm a distinctive social history.

When you arrive
