Empowering Farmers, Nourishing Consumers: The Story of THINK ORGANIC
THINK ORGANIC is a story of determined sons and daughters of Kenyan small-scale farmers who refuse to let the struggles of their small-scale farming parents go unnoticed.
Having been raised by small-scale farmers, The THINK ORGANIC team knows firsthand the struggles that small-scale farmers face, with the major challenge being access to markets. The team is able to say this because it has sold bananas, sugarcane, and maize on the roadside.
THINK ORGANIC is Led by Omoke Brian, an organic farmer who has been working with small-scale farmers for nearly a decade now. Omoke Brian’s commitment to organic, sustainable farming and the principles of sustainability have earned him a master’s degree in organic agriculture from Wageningen University & Research in the Netherlands, a university ranked as the best in the world in the field of agriculture.

One of THINK ORGANIC’s, desires is to make the lives of small-scale farmers and vendors better by providing them with a ready, reliable, and sustainable market for their products while ensuring consumers have easy access to a wide variety of organic, natural, and sustainable products, affordably and conveniently delivered.
“Providing small-scale farmers and vendors with a ready, reliable, and sustainable market for their products is important to me because I have walked long distances, endured bad weather, and waited for specific days when markets happen to sell our goods, only not to sell them”. Says Omoke Brian, founder of THINK ORGANIC.
These experiences among others inspired the creation of THINK ORGANIC, which is now solving these problems and providing small-scale farmers and vendors with an easy and reliable market for their products.
I have walked long distances, endured bad weather, and waited for specific days when markets happen to sell our goods, only not to sell them.
While working with small-scale farmers and vendors has been a journey filled with obstacles, setbacks, and hard work, we have seen the most heartwarming moments that have left us humbled and grateful. The joy and gratitude that we’ve seen in the farmers’ eyes when they receive fair payment for their produce are indescribable.
