Nairobi’s Organic Farmers Markets

 

Ditch your trolley – there are some spectacular organic farmers markets coming up around Nairobi where you can get your fresh, local produce for a farm-fresh meal.

In fact, many now offer much more than freshly-picked fruits and vegetables such as home-made jams and nut butters, eggs, cheese, pastries, gelato, juices, fish and much more! I’ve rounded up 3 of the markets I’ve been to so far and are definitely worth checking out! It’s a perfect way of getting some healthy goodies as well as supporting farmers and other producers who work hard to bring you quality products.

1. Kilimani Organic Farmers Market

 

Market details: Held outdoors at Kilimani Primary School every Sunday from 9am to 4pm rain, hail or shine.

Market Special: Every week a cool lady called Kate and her amazing team has a stand here serving brunch. Her cookies, pancakes, almond bread… basically everything is heavenly!

2. The Erroll Farmers Market

Market details: Held outdoors (or indoors during rainy weather) at The Lord Errol in Runda (89 Ruaka Road), formerly every Saturday from 9am to 3pm but has recently been changed to a monthly market. I’ll post details soon!

Market special: The Lord Errol prepares a mouth-watering barbecue during every market day. Tuck-in on your way out after visiting the stalls at the market.

3. Karen Organic Farmers Market

 

Market details: Held outdoors at Purdy Arms in Karen every Saturday from 9am to 3pm.

Market special: Organic Farmers Market gives back to society through the proceeds from their stall fees. With the help of their farmers and private donors, OFM provides Kenya Children’s Home with produce worth Ksh. 150,000 every month, helping to give the children in their care nutritious, balanced meals.
