Yellow Grove Farms is the brainchild of our founder Yebeltal Getachew. Although not previously a farmer, his passion for gardening, nature and environmental sustainability led Yebeltal and his wife Selamawit Alemayehu to partner with commodity trading friends David Okoth, Michael Kedeng’e and Kevin Otieno in 2019, to establish Yellow Grove Farms. The farm soon attracted seasoned agriculturists and today has a well-versed management team.
