About

Urban Farm is a small-scale livestock enterprise located in Nambale, Busia County, Kenya. The farm focuses on practical, efficient livestock production systems that integrate pig farming, poultry production, and basic hatchery services. It operates as a community-oriented farm that supplies fresh animal products to local households, traders, and small-scale farmers within the region.

Pig farming is one of the core activities at Urban Farm. The farm raises pigs for meat production and supplies pork and market-ready pigs to local buyers. It manages pigs under structured feeding and housing systems that support steady growth and consistent meat quality. Pig production remains an important source of income and plays a key role in meeting local demand for pork in Busia County and surrounding areas.

Poultry production is another important component of the farm. Urban Farm keeps chickens for egg production and meat supply. It produces table eggs that are sold to households and small traders, ensuring a consistent supply of affordable protein within the local market. The farm also raises chickens for meat production, contributing to the daily food supply in the region.

In addition to poultry and pigs, Urban Farm operates a simple hatchery system that supports chick production. Through egg incubation and hatching activities, the farm supplies day-old chicks to small-scale poultry farmers. This helps local farmers access affordable poultry stock to start or expand their own production systems.

Beyond production, Urban Farm plays a practical role in supporting small-scale livestock knowledge within its community. Through day-to-day farm operations, it provides informal guidance on pig rearing, poultry management, and hatchery practices. This hands-on exposure helps farmers understand basic livestock management techniques that improve productivity and animal care.
