About us

Farmer’s Choice was founded in 1980, with the central purpose of selling fresh and processed pork products to all income groups in Kenya. To this day, the core business of the company has been the production of fresh sausages, bacon, ham and pork. Beef has also become an important supplementary product. In the mid 1980s, the company expanded into pig production, establishing a new butchery complex & slaughterhouse at Kahawa West just outside Nairobi. An essential feature of this development was Total Quality Control from beginning to end of the production process. Central to the philosophy behind this new complex was that it should be built to international standards, satisfying hygiene and safety criteria laid down by the UN’s Food and Agricultural Organisation and the World Health Organisation, as well as the EU.The company has since gained ISO 22000 compliance. Farmer’s Choice was bought by Lonrho in March 1989. A second phase in the construction of the Kahawa West complex was then instigated, including the completion of a processing plant, again to FAO, WHO and EU standards. When the processing plant was finished, a licence was granted for the export of the full range of fresh and processed pork produce to other parts of the world. The company changed hands again in 2000 when the Aga Khan - owned IPS group acquired a majority share holding. A Halal certified, state-of-the-art beef slaughterhouse subsidiary has been commissioned and is trading separately under the brand ‘Choice Meats’.Today, the company sells its produce within Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, Zanzibar, Ethiopia, Muscat, Bahrain and the United Arab Emirates. New markets are now being established in West Africa. Do post your comments here or visit www.farmerschoice.co.ke Or please visit Twitter, Facebook and Instagram for regular updates.

    𝐂𝐞𝐥𝐞𝐛𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐓𝐫𝐮𝐞 𝐇𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐚𝐠𝐞 - 𝐅𝐚𝐫𝐦𝐞𝐫’𝐬 𝐂𝐡𝐨𝐢𝐜𝐞 𝐢𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐢𝐜 𝐇𝐨𝐭𝐝𝐨𝐠 𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐬 𝐚𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐍𝐚𝐢𝐫𝐨𝐛𝐢 𝐈𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐓𝐫𝐚𝐝𝐞 𝐅𝐚𝐢𝐫 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟒 Farmer's Choice, a brand with a rich legacy spinning over four decades was founded in Kenya in 1980. Known for our deep commitment to supporting local farmers, we take pride in producing delicious and authentic meaty delights, including sausages, bacon, burgers, fresh cuts, and a variety of delicatessen items. What sets us apart is our unwavering dedication to quality, consistency, innovation, and customer experience. From the production floor to our sales and customer service teams, we strive to deliver excellence at every step, ensuring a seamless experience for both B2B and B2C customers. The most meaningful part of our journey is when our customers share their stories. This year, we were thrilled to see our iconic Farmer’s Choice Hotdog take center stage at the Nairobi International Trade Fair 2024. It wasn’t just about the product—it was also about the memories people brought to life. Classic FM's Breakfast show hosts, Maina and King’ang’i, highlighted how our hotdog evokes nostalgia for many Kenyan Millennials, who fondly remember enjoying it during past ASK shows. Back in the '90s, no visit to the show was complete without a Farmer's Choice Hotdog, creating memories alongside iconic moments like 'Kichwa Bila Mwili' and performances by the Kenya Army Band. These shared memories remind us of the true essence of heritage—an experience passed down through generations. To all those who have made these moments possible, we say thank you. And to those who have yet to try our hotdog, sausages and other delicious products, we invite you to experience the tradition and flavor that so many Kenyans cherish.

Our consumers can now enjoy the deliciousness of our iconic smokies in a larger size.
