Smart Farm: A focus on Cape Gooseberry farming

They say one man’s meat is another man’s poison. This saying couldn't be truer for Joseph Chevoswony, a farmer from Elgeyo Marakwet County. Joseph has struck gold in cultivating the Cape Gooseberry, a fruit that was for a long time disregarded by locals in Marakwet. Many viewed it as a bush fruit hence not fit for consumption.

In the Philippines this is just a type of wild grass. We don’t cook it. We only eat is as a wild treat in the mountains or farm. We have 2 varieties green and yellow or orange ones.
