The Fontana Story

Fontana Farms ventured into the floriculture sector in 2004 to grow and export quality roses to primarily service the Global rose markets and has been a key player in the development of the floriculture industry in Kenya. The company currently consists of four farms within the Rift Valley region of Kenya, starting out with a mere 6 hectares in 2004, and now standing at over 140 hectares with a vast number of varieties of roses.
