Mlango Farm

Ngecha, Limuru By appointment

Mlango Farm sits in the artists' village of Ngecha, under an hour from Nairobi, and is the best hands-on food outing near the city. On the guided tour children smell, taste and pick their way along the beds, filling a basket with lettuce, carrots, broccoli, herbs and whatever else is ready, and there are farm animals to feed and pet along the way. Lunch afterwards is cooked from the same garden and served outside.

Good to know: Visits are by appointment and usually for small groups — call ahead, and bring hats and closed shoes for the beds.
