Founder & Permaculture Specialist
Rooted in Baolala, Healing the Earth for Generations
Nettle Regenerative Farm is a community-based initiative founded by Lenox Chome Kipondah to empower people through permaculture — a sustainable approach to farming that heals the soil, strengthens food security, and uplifts livelihoods.
From our base in Baolala, Kilifi County, we teach farmers and families practical, eco-friendly ways to grow nutritious food while protecting the planet for future generations.
Founder's Mission & Resilience
“After surviving a life-threatening injury and experiencing the miraculous healing power of natural nutritional remedies, I dedicated my life to Permaculture. Trained by the Permaculture Research Institute Kenya, I founded Nettle Farm to reverse the severe environmental degradation, deforestation, and poverty in remote Kilifi.”
Our Focus Area
Addressing the root causes of climate vulnerability and poverty through integrated permaculture action.
Regenerative Agriculture
Promoting sustainable farming practices that restore soil health and increase yields naturally. Rebuilding the moisture retention and microbial life of sandy loam soil without harmful agrochemicals.
Community Empowerment
Equipping individuals and families with hands-on training for self-sufficiency and better livelihoods. Supplying seedlings, technical knowledge, and fair economic opportunities to sell surplus crops.
Environmental Restoration
Rebuilding ecosystems through tree planting, soil regeneration, and caring for the earth at large. Counteracting the devastating deforestation caused by charcoal burning and unsustainable overgrazing.
Sustainability in Practice
At Nettle Regenerative Farm, our land is more than just soil — it’s a living classroom for sustainability and community empowerment. Located in the heart of Baolala, Kilifi County, our demonstration site showcases how regenerative agriculture can restore soil health, improve food security, and rebuild livelihoods.
Here, we train local farmers and community members on practical, hands-on techniques in permaculture, composting, tree planting, and chemical-free food production. The farm also serves as a seedling hub, where we grow and distribute tree and vegetable seedlings to promote reforestation and self-reliance.
