Elgon Collection

Seen from above, our farm stretches between the Suam River and the Kitale–Endebess road, right on the border of Kenya and Uganda. A place where agriculture meets nature at the edge of two nations. 🌍🌱

Established in 1921 by Bob’s grandfather, the land has grown into a unique mix of agriculture, conservation, and community.

🌹 45 hectares of roses
🥑 120 hectares of avocados
🌳 150 hectares of protected indigenous forest
🐄 Farmland, rivers and canals, homes, roads, and community areas in between

The farm has many reservoirs for sustainable water management, multiple solar fields, and a hydro-dam for green energy, an airstrip, and many tree plantations for sustainable wood production — plantations that also serve as habitats for wildlife.

Slide 2 zoom-in: Across the road from the farm lies Mount Elgon Trust, officially established in 2005 — a foundation focused on supporting local communities through education, healthcare, conservation, and development projects. Mount Elgon Trust supports multiple schools with over 4,000 students, a hospital treating 24,000 patients annually, a farmers’ training centre training 900 farmers each year, many community outreach projects, and an orphanage.

From this aerial view, you can truly see the connection between nature, farming, history, and people. Over a century later, this land continues to grow with purpose. 💚
