Grown by the youth
of Western Kenya.
Bunched fresh for you.
Kienyeji na Kadhalika connects a network of youth and women farmers across Western Kenya to households, hotels and retailers who want indigenous vegetables grown right and delivered fast with no middlemen and no markups.
An outgrower model built for a steady harvest.
Rather than relying on one farm, we contract individual and group farmers year-round, so supply holds steady even in the dry months, and every farmer has a guaranteed buyer.
Formalising a fragmented value chain
African Leafy Vegetables are in high demand across Western Kenya but the farmers growing them rarely benefit from that demand.
Kienyeji na Kadhalika was founded in 2025 to build a reliable platform for the safe cultivation and commercialisation of African Leafy Vegetables. We aggregate produce from smallholder farmers, bunch and pack it at our Kisumu packhouse, and get it to consumers who have been paying inflated prices to middlemen while the farmers who grow it see almost none of that value.
The scheme is intentionally youth and women-led. With youth making up over a third of Kenya's population and youth unemployment near two-thirds, we see vegetable farming as a real source of income for young people entering a job market that has little room for them, not a fallback, but a business.
Mercy Odanga
Mercy started Kienyeji na Kadhalika to close the gap between health-conscious consumers and the local farmers already growing what they want, cultivated organically, harvested on schedule, and sold at a fair price on both ends. As the company grows into a medium-scale operation over the next three years, that outgrower relationship stays the backbone of the business.
Four ways we create value
From seed to shelf, we support the whole chain that gets fresh vegetables to you.
Six vegetables, by their real names
Every order is sold the way it's known at the market, by its local name first.
Slightly bitter, iron-rich, a staple with ugali.
Cooked down soft and mucilaginous, often with milk.
Slightly pungent, a Luo table favourite.
Delicate leaf, quick-cooking, mild in flavour.
Deep green with red-stemmed varieties, high in calcium.
Tender leaves from the cowpea plant, a everyday green.
These are the six varieties grown across our outgrower network in Kisumu, Siaya and Kakamega, available fresh or blanched in retail portions or bulk for hotels and restaurants.
