How Matthew Nzuki Turned a Side Hustle into a Sustainable Mixed Farm with SunCulture
Matthew Njuki is not your typical farmer. By day, he works as a librarian—but at home, he’s a dedicated part-time farmer managing a growing mixed enterprise with the help of his wife. From vegetable farming and fodder production to poultry and dairy cows, Matthew has gradually built a self-sustaining farm rooted in smart, efficient practices.
Matthew’s expanding farming activities required a reliable water supply to sustain the different elements of his mixed farming setup. Manual watering was not only time-consuming but unsustainable. With increasing water needs and limited time to manage the farm, Matthew needed a solution that would work efficiently and empower his household to manage the farm in his absence.
Matthew invested in two SunCulture products, which enabled him to Draw water directly from his well, Pipe it to different sections of the farm, Install systems that support year-round mixed farming
“SunCulture has empowered me to put real systems in place and support my farming activities even while working my day job.”
Vegetables, fodder, poultry, and dairy cows now thrive under a reliable water setup. The farm supplies fresh milk and vegetables to a nearby university market. Matthew even sells water to local residents, expanding the value of his solar investment. Farming has become a reliable secondary income stream for the family.
“I’ve been able to earn decent income from farming and supply the community with water—thanks to SunCulture.”
Matthew’s story shows that with the right tools, farming doesn’t need to be full-time to be impactful. By integrating SunCulture’s solar solutions into his mixed farm, he has created a model of sustainable productivity that supports both his family and his neighbors.
