connecting people to planet through food
OUR LIVING FOOD CAMPUS
Our classroom at the Brown's living food campus in Tigoni offers you to connect to Kenya through interactive cooking classes, fermentation sessions, food demonstration meals, seed bank and foraging.
Our Vision for You
We believe that our food choices have the power to change our health, wellbeing and the planet.
This is why we have expanded and evolved the original cheese making factory to become an educationary campus bursting with creativity and diversity. Step into a place where you can delve into the world of how some of our favorite foods are made; traditionally slow processed to unlock nutrition and taste. You will also interactively learn about the importance of plant diversity, circularity, regenerative biodynamic farming, soil health, and much more!
We're here to empower you to take control of your diet. You'll leave our campus inspired to change what and how you eat – because each of us can make a difference!
​
Workshops
We offer a range of creative workshops that aim to support you to make regenerative and nourishing choices back home. We're constantly collaborating and developing engaging curricula that is inspired from the ancient and the modern within Kenya and across the globe!
Our past workshops have included fermentation, ancient grain baking, sourdough, wine making and pickling. Check out our upcoming workshops and start reconnecting with food.
Soil Laboratory
I'm coming soon!
We're busy building a soil laboratory for you to come and get curious about soil. After you've peered under a microscope, you'll never look at soil the same way again!
Soil is essential to life on earth, without it life could not be sustained. It is also money in the bank: the better the soil, the more interest you get. But sadly, much of the world’s agricultural soils have become inert and lifeless from the consistent application of chemicals. It is in healthy soils that crops can grow to their full nutritional potential, passing that same potential on as they are eaten. That is why here at Brown’s, we look after our soil before anything else. In fact we don’t just care for it, we actively heal it through regenerative biodynamic principles.
Seed Bank & Nursery
I'm coming soon!
So much depends on seeds. They are the soul's biodiversity, beyond just food. If seeds aren't cared for then we risk losing important genetic diversity that supports life on this planet. Open access to seeds is also important in supporting smallholders to adapt to changing market demands and the changing climate - it increases resilience, one seed at a time.
This is why we're been carefully collecting ancient seeds from across the country. It is our small quest in quest helping to preserve the diversity and abundance that exists and making seeds more available for you to take home to plant and share more widely. And, if you'd prefer to take home plants, we've got these for sale too!
