From Shamba to Your Plate: The Journey of Fresh Vegetables at Zanazi
In the lush outskirts of Nairobi, where the busy hum of the city fades into the serene rhythm of rural life, lies a small farm that has become a cornerstone of fresh, healthy living for many Kenyans. Tanzuna Farm, owned by Catherine Bwari, a passionate and hardworking woman, is a shining example of how locally sourced, sustainable produce makes its way from the farm to your table, thanks to her collaboration with Zanazi.
The Story of Tanzuna Farm
Catherine Bwari, the owner of Tanzuna Farm, has always been rooted in the love for farming. Growing up in a rural community, she learned the value of fresh food and sustainable farming practices early on. With a vision to provide high-quality, organic produce to local communities, she turned her small piece of land into a thriving farm that now supplies vegetables like sukuma wiki, spinach, managu, and other nutritious greens.
Tanzuna Farm, which sits on the fertile outskirts of Nairobi, is known for its eco-friendly practices. Catherine focuses on organic farming methods, using natural fertilizers and crop rotation to maintain the health of the soil and produce clean, chemical-free vegetables. Her farm has become a hub for locally grown, nutrient-dense food that is both affordable and accessible to Kenyans.
Catherine’s Partnership with Zanazi
In 2023, Catherine partnered with Zanazi, a grocery delivery service focused on supplying fresh, wholesome foods to health-conscious Kenyans, especially gym-goers and those on special diets. This collaboration has helped her reach a larger audience, allowing more people to benefit from her high-quality produce.
Through this partnership, Zanazi helps bridge the gap between local farmers like Catherine and customers looking for fresh, nutritious groceries.

Catherine’s journey is also a powerful story of women in agriculture, a traditionally male-dominated field. Her success with Tanzuna Farm highlights the crucial role women play in feeding the nation. By collaborating with Zanazi, Catherine is not only empowering herself but also inspiring other women to pursue farming as a means of financial independence and community support.
A Future of Health and Sustainability
