Mount Elgon Orchards: Quality. Community. Fun

Situated in the serene countryside, Mount Elgon Orhards is easily accessible with clear signage along the main road. The surrounding landscape offers breathtaking views, making it a great alternative destination away from the popular national park’s circuit. From its fine location at the base of Mount Elgon in Western Kenya, Mount Elgon Orchards is a place of pride and heritage. This land and its soil have been lovingly cultivated by the the Andersen horticultural family since 1922, with their stewardship continuing to the present day. It is variegated haven of serenity.

Presently, there are over 43 hectares of roses and 80 hectares of avocados being grown, with plans to expand to 200 hectares of avocados in the coming years. All their products are planted with due care for the soil, taking advantage the great climate at 2,000 meters asl. As a farm, they are devoted to constant improvement of their products and sustainability, every day, and are fully dedicated to the goal of becoming carbon neutral by 2023. The orchard is impeccably maintained, with neatly pruned trees, clean pathways, meticulous green houses, and happy staff.

Taking cognizance that Kenya is primarily agrarian, farm tours are a fantastic way to learn about the backbone of its economy, connect with nature, and gain insight into the operations of working farms. As diverse as they are unique, farm tours provide an experience and a deep connection to the land. It is great fun, too!
