This is not surprising considering the rise in Non Communicable diseases in Kenya. More and more people are looking for restaurants that prioritise sustainability, ethical sourcing and social activism. One way to ensure you’re supporting these values is by choosing farm to table restaurants.These establishments prioritise using ingredients from their own farms. They also source from local farmers and suppliers, resulting in fresher, more flavourful meals.
