Solar-Powered Organic Farming, Rooted in Laikipia

NT Organic Solutions runs a family-owned 3-acre farm powered entirely by solar drip and rain-hose irrigation — proof that sustainable, climate-resilient agriculture can scale in Kenya.

The Project

A permanent growing unit, not a one-off harvest

NT Organic Solutions, a Nemsey Traders Ltd initiative, manages a 3-acre organic farm in Matanya, Riacho, Laikipia. What began as a single commercial cabbage cycle has grown into a diversified, solar-powered growing operation built to keep producing through every season, not just one good harvest.

It's built on a family-owned, low-risk foundation for a farming unit designed to be permanent and climate-resilient.

What We Grow

Five crops, rotated on purpose

The farm specializes in four core vegetables, with a nitrogen-fixing legume cycle planted in between to keep the soil healthy without synthetic fertilizer.

Cabbage

Spinach

Onions

Garlic

🌱

Beans & Peas — the inter-planting crop

Planted in the gap between main growing cycles, beans and peas fix nitrogen back into the soil naturally — cutting the farm's reliance on synthetic fertilizer while keeping the land productive year-round.

Also Growing

Beyond the core crops

The farm's biodiversity doesn't stop at the five commercial crops — tamarillo, papaya, sunflower, avocado, passion fruit and aloe vera all grow on-site too, just not as part of the commercial harvest.

Infrastructure

Built to Run on Sun and Water

Two independent irrigation systems, backed by large-scale water storage, deliver every drop without a single unit of grid power.

Water Storage

🚰

15,000L Well

Refills in under 5 hours, giving the farm a fast-recovering primary water source.

🌊

300,000L Dam

A large-scale reserve securing supply across the growing season.

🗼

12,000L Water Tower

Elevated storage that gravity-feeds the farm's drip irrigation lines.

Pumping & Solar Power

Drip Irrigation System

A 1.5HP DOYIN submersible pump, powered by a 2,200W solar setup, fills the water tower that feeds the drip lines.

🚿

Rain Hose System

A 5HP solar pump, powered by a 1,100W solar setup, supplies water across the farm by rain hose.

  • 🐞 Beneficial insects, not pesticides — ladybirds and other natural predators keep pests in check across the farm.
  • 🌾 Organic manure & BSF frass — soil nutrition sourced from organic manure and BSF frass from Ecoprotein Hub Ltd, with no synthetic chemical inputs.
  • 🧑‍🌾 Hands-on daily care — an on-site gardener tends the crop through every stage of the cycle.
  • 🌦️ Built for Laikipia's weather — drip irrigation protects yield against volatility rather than depending on rainfall.
Farming Practice

Grown the organic way, on purpose

Nothing about this farm is accidental. The solar and drip infrastructure exists specifically to make organic, chemical-free growing viable at commercial scale — not just in a good rainy season, but year-round.
