What is it?
38 acres of organic coastal ranch in Kenya, 60kms north of Mombasa, containing tall coconut, mango and giant cashew nut trees growing amid spacious open grassland.
The farm is "off-grid", with solar energy being used for lighting, charging mobile devices and running the pump in the 25 metre deep well.
The Shamba employs five resident workers on a communal employment structure. With no hierarchy and equal pay it aims to develop a sense of autonomy and responsibility towards the sense of place.
The Shamba is owned and managed by Jochen. As a younger man, German born Jochen, spent much time in Kenya before emigrating with his family to New Zealand where, for 20 years, he was a successful artist, selling his work internationally. In 2009 the circle completed itself when Jochen left New Zealand to return to Kenya, using his innate creativity to establish an idyllic African life-style on the Kenyan Coast.

Our solid shampoo bars are made with natural, plant based ingredients that are gentle to your hair & scalp. Coconut oil, baobab oil, macadamia nut oil, shea butter, cocoa butter, mango butter as well as extracts from sugar cane and various herbs help restore moisture and repair damaged hair. Our shampoo bars restore your hair's natural health, protect it from UV damage and give it a clean, vivid touch.

Rejuvenating Face Cream
Hydrating, Anti-Ageing, Cell Repair & Protection
As we age, our natural production of collagen, hyaluronic acid and squalane is depleted and the skin becomes more prone to dryness. The ingredients we use for our cosmetics have a long history in therapeutic skincare, such as cell repair, wound healing, reduction of scars and wrinkles, new collagen formation as well as reinforcing the skin’s natural lipid barrier. The selected natural oils and butters quickly penetrate deep into the skin, without leaving a greasy residue on the surface.

Tamarind Paste
Tamarind is not only super healthy, but also tasty and a great way to give your favorite dish that extra pinch of fresh flavor.
The process of removing seeds and fibres from the pods is rather time consuming, so we took-over this part for you and offer you a ready-for-use product.

We believe...
... that we need to approach our relationship with nature with respect rather than simply being on the receiving end in life.
We created our organic farm to provide the atmosphere where nature can recuperate and thrive.
