East
African Growers farms have been either nurtured from natural habitat or have been
acquired during the last four decades within the prime Agricultural and Horticultural
growing areas of Kenya.
The
diverse location of our farms takes advantage of Kenya's varying altitude and
resulting microclimates to ensure crop security and varietyThe
farms are centrally managed by East African Growers through an integrated food
safety and quality management system that complies with the food industry's international
standards.
The following is a very brief description of some of the activities
undertaken by East African Growers Farms and which demonstrate its high standards
of ethical, social, and environmental responsibility whether through normal business
practice or innovative initiatives.

Personal
hygiene: In spite of the unique nature of the farms with a diversified
operation and substantial work force, East African Growers has managed to employ
massive provisions to establish the necessary infra structure on site. Toilets,
hand washing facilities, and in some cases, showers, are available within 500m
from any working location on the farms. Laundries are also available to ensure
the cleanliness level of the dress code.
