It starts
at the source.
There's a lot that happens before our milk reaches your home. It starts here in Nakuru, with our herd, our farmers and the people who make Bahati what it is.
Come along. We'll show you.
There's a story
behind every drop.
A few very early mornings. A lot of hardworking people. And quite a journey from the farm to your fridge. Here's how it all comes together.
Meet
our herd.
Our herd is where the Bahati story begins. And with more than 400 dairy cattle on our farm in Nakuru, there's never a dull morning.
Every day, our farm team is there looking after the herd, caring for its wellbeing and making sure the work of the farm keeps moving.
Long before there's a bottle of yoghurt or a packet of milk, there's this place. And the animals and people who make it all possible.
This is where we begin.
The first drop.
While much of Nakuru is still waking up, there's already plenty happening on our farm.
Our milking team is at work, collecting milk from the herd and beginning another day's journey. It's familiar work around here, but it's also one of the most important parts of our day.
Every day starts somewhere.
We're not
doing this
alone.
Our farm is only one part of the story.
Across our community, dairy farmers are starting their mornings too. Looking after their herds, collecting milk and getting ready for the day's collection.
Their milk joins the milk from our own farm. And the farmers behind it are an important part of the Bahati family.
We believe working together should mean more than buying milk. That's why we support farmers with access to animal feeds, mineral salts, nutritional supplements, veterinary services and artificial insemination.
We also support education opportunities for children from families in need. Because when the people around us do better, our whole community grows stronger.
Good things grow
when we grow together.
Before the
day begins.
By the time most people are thinking about breakfast, our milk collection teams have already been busy.
Milk from our community farmers is gathered and brought into our collection network. Behind every delivery is a farmer, a herd and a morning's work.
Many farms. One shared journey.
First, a
few checks.
Before incoming milk can go any further, our milk technologist has some important work to do.
Every delivery is checked against our acceptance standards. We look at the milk's appearance and smell, and taste it where appropriate.
We also carry out tests that help us understand its quality and whether it's suitable to accept.
The alcohol test
Helps us assess the stability of incoming milk.
The density test
Helps us check its physical characteristics and identify possible abnormalities.
Milk that passes the required checks is cooled and prepared for the next part of its journey.
The little things matter here.
Now, into
the dairy.
This is where milk from our farm and community farmers enters the next chapter.
Inside our processing facility, there's a whole team working behind the scenes to make the products that carry the Bahati name.
This is where
it all comes
together.
A lot has happened to get the milk this far. Now it's time to turn it into something you'll recognise.
Inside our dairy, milk goes through the processing steps needed for each product, including the appropriate heat treatment, preparation and packaging.
Our production and quality teams keep an eye on safety, quality and consistency throughout the process.
Shelf Milk, Smart Yoghurt, Mala, Mozzarella Cheese. Each has its own way of being made, and each gets the attention it needs.
Different products. The same care.
There's still
a little way
to go.
Once our products are made and packaged, they're prepared for the journey beyond our dairy.
From Nakuru, Bahati products make their way towards shops and retail outlets, getting a little closer to the people who enjoy them.
From our dairy. Closer to you.
Look who
made it.
A packet of Shelf Milk.
A bottle of Smart Yoghurt.
Mala for a familiar favourite.
Mozzarella for something delicious.
Different products for different moments. All with a journey behind them.
From our farm.
From our farmers.
To you.
Behind every Bahati product are the people who make the journey possible. Our farm team, our community farmers, our collection teams and everyone working inside the dairy.
Thank you for being part of our story.
