About raundi Farm

Regenerating land, growing clean food, and building a living example of permaculture in Kenya.

Why raundi Exists

Raundi exists to show that farming can heal the land instead of exhausting it, make food less expensive yet more accessible. We grow clean food using permaculture principles that restore soil, support biodiversity, and create a healthier future for people and the environment.

Raundi was founded by Robert Sifuna. It started with a simple question - is it possible to grow food that’s  healthy, affordable and reachable while respecting and cohabiting with nature?. Inspired by regenerative agriculture and trained in permaculture design, i set out to build a working example of what sustainable farming can look like on the Kenyan coast.

The farm is guided by the belief that healthy soil, healthy ecosystems, and healthy food all belong together. Every part of raundi is designed to work with nature rather than against it.

What began as a vision is growing into a long-term project for food production, education, and land restoration in Kilifi.

The story behind raundi

Healthy Soil

Everything begins with living soil rich in organic matter and microbial life.

Clean Food

Food should be grown without harmful chemicals or artificial inputs.

Bioderversity

A healthy farm supports plants, animals, insects and natural balance.

Regeneration

Farming should improve the land year after year - not degrade it.

From Degraded Land to Living Farm

See how raundi is transforming land through regenerative agriculture  and permaculture design.

Raundi is being developed as a regenerative farm system designed to restore soil, improve water retention, and increase biodiversity. What was once degraded land is gradually becoming a productive, living ecosystem.

Soil Health Improved

Organic matter and microbial ice are being rebuilt

Water Retention increased 

The land now captures and holds rainfall more effectively.

Biodiversity Growing

Plants, insects, and animals are returning to the ecosystem.

Food production rising

The farm is producing clean, nutrient-rich food.

Three Simple steps to start a Farm 

Acronym - WAS 

 Water   - Observe how often it rains, path water takes and where it collects on and around your farm.
                 - Find out your soils water retention abilities by simply digging a hole, poring water  in until its full and timing how long it drains.
                 - Based on the test results, you can design you farm to capture and store water.

Access   - based on water paths decide where you will build roads and or foot paths.
                -How will the main access road connect to your farm
                - There should be less footprints the further in you go into the farm

Structure - Decide how many buildings you’ll want on the farm based on intended use.
                     - Location of the building which is determined by many factors including contour of land, roads…
                     - Design roofs for water catchment, optimizing direction to capture sunlight for solar energy.
