11 Acres
Monday Kathy, Bernard, Chris and I set off from KACH on foot and after a lovely walk through forests of thitonia and an alley of grevillia trees we came to the 11 acres. I actually looked at this land in 2008 with Karambu and even at that time saw it's huge potential. Currently Karambu is renting it and planted a supply of maize and beans, It would be an amazing avocado orchard. It is set on a slight hill with a view of surrounding mountains and it's back to the forest. There is a very nice house that has been sitting empty. Chris and i immediately saw the possibility for a country guest house that could generate good income for KACH and provide a magical farm experience. At Present we are trying to raise funds to get some more help to plant the land before the rains stop as well as looking into a potential purchase. Surprisingly it is quite expensive and the owner is asking around $75,000USD.
