Our Story

Rooted in Vision.
Growing for Generations.

DL Farms was founded on the vision of Dr. David Langat, founder and chairman of the DL Group. Since the mid-1980s, his mission has been clear: to build sustainable African enterprises that meet global standards.

Today, DL Farms cultivates and supplies a wide range of high-quality agricultural products — with tea at the heart of our excellence — combining modern agricultural practices with deep respect for the land.
