The Farm

Three generations. One obsession: quality.

In 1998, Joseph Moshi planted the first Hass seedlings on a steep hillside outside Arusha — land his father had farmed for coffee, now quietly becoming something far more valuable. Twenty-seven years later, Kilimanjaro Avocado Farm spans 1,200 hectares across the volcanic foothills, employing over 340 people and exporting to grocery chains across Germany, the Netherlands, the UAE, and Japan.

What hasn't changed is the logic: altitude produces density, volcanic soil produces flavour, and patience produces the kind of buttery richness that buyers in Rotterdam and Dubai keep coming back for. Every box that leaves our farm carries the same promise it did in 1998.

What We Grow

Two great varieties.
One uncompromising standard.

Both Hass and Fuerte are grown side by side on the same hillsides, harvested by hand, graded on-site, and packed to GlobalG.A.P. standards before they ever leave the farm gate.

Hass Avocado
Variety 01

Hass

The world's most exported avocado. Dense, creamy flesh with a rich nutty flavour that intensifies as the skin darkens. Our Hass is available year-round thanks to staggered planting across elevations.

Fuerte Avocado
Variety 02

The original premium export variety — smooth green skin, pale golden flesh, mild and buttery with subtle herbal notes. Particularly popular in European foodservice and specialty retail.

Sustainability

Growing responsibly since day one.

We believe a farm that depletes its land doesn't survive three generations. Every practice on this farm — from drip irrigation to solar energy — is designed to keep the land productive for the next hundred years.

Solar Energy

Our 800 kW solar array powers the entire packhouse, irrigation pumps, and cold-chain facilities. We have operated carbon-neutral on-farm operations since 2019.

Water Conservation

Drip irrigation across 100% of the cultivated area reduces water use by 62% compared to spray systems. Rainwater harvesting supplies a further 30% of annual demand.

Community First

We fund two primary schools in Usa River, a women's agricultural cooperative with 180 members, and provide free clean water access to three neighbouring villages.
