Where care and cultivation come together

At the base of Mount Elgon in Western Kenya lies a place where care and commitment have taken root for over a century.
Mount Elgon Orchards is part of the Andersen family legacy — a story of horticultural passion that began in the 1920s and continues to flourish today.

All our crops grow at an altitude of around 2,000 metres, where the cool mountain climate creates ideal conditions for quality and freshness.

Across around 50 hectares of greenhouses, our team grows roses that bring colour and quality to every bouquet. Each day, more than 250,000 stems leave our farm for Rose Handling Services BV in the Netherlands, ensuring a seamless journey from our fields to customers around the world.

Mount Elgon Orchards is proud to be the exclusive grower of the rose variety Charmant and holder of multiple sustainability accreditations.

High in the mountains, our Hass and Fuerte avocados thrive in fertile volcanic soil and fresh rainfall.

We currently grow 116 hectares of Hass avocados, with plans to expand to 400 hectares in the coming years. Each fruit is carefully nurtured for a rich flavour and smooth ripening

Founded in 2005, the Mount Elgon Trust supports education, healthcare and community projects across Western Kenya. Our goal is simple: to share the growth we’ve achieved with the people who made it possible.
