“When we first started Ambokili Farm, we were ambitious but unprepared for the realities of resource management. Foolishly but strategically, we planted over 500 trees without securing a reliable water source. We depended on expensive water purchases from a kind neighbor who charged us heavily per 10,000Litres of water. But we were determined.” – Tonny
In those early days, we quickly realized that survival and growth depended on finding a more sustainable solution. This led us to dig a 25-meter well, which provided our first independent water source. From there, we installed a drip irrigation system that transformed our farm into a water-efficient operation.
Today, water remains a critical resource for the farm, but through innovation and sustainable practices, we’ve learned to make every drop count. Our story is a testament to resilience and the power of resource optimization, even in the most challenging conditions.
