ISKCON Nairobi
Thika Farm
Organic Farming & Cow Protection

Thika Farm
& Goshala

Forty acres of sacred land in the Kenyan highlands — where cow protection, organic farming, and devotional community life thrive together.

The Vision

A Self-Sufficient
Devotional Community

The Thika Farm represents ISKCON Nairobi's long-term vision of varnāśrama — a spiritually integrated community where devotees live close to the land, protect cows, grow their own food, and sustain a life centred on devotional practice.

The farm supplies fresh organic produce, milk, and ghee to the Nairobi temple kitchen and Food For Life programme. Visitors and volunteers are welcome throughout the year.
