Our story
started here.
Bahati Dairies began with farming at its heart. Since 2012, our roots in Nakuru have shaped a dairy company built around our farm, our farmers and the products we make.
Our story ↓
Rooted in
Nakuru.
Bahati Dairies began in 2012 in Nakuru, Kenya,
with dairy farming at the centre of the business.
Our own farm created a direct connection between
Bahati Dairies and the source of our milk — a connection
that remains central to the company today.
From those farming roots, Bahati has grown into a
dairy operation that brings together our own farm,
local dairy farmers, milk quality control, processing
and production.
Farming is
our story.
Having our own farm keeps us close to the source. It means farming is not simply where our story began — it remains part of our everyday operation and the foundation from which Bahati Dairies continues to grow.
More than
milk.
Alongside milk from our own farm, Bahati Dairies
sources milk directly from local dairy farmers.
Collection begins early — sometimes from around 5am —
as milk makes its way from farms to our collection
and cooling station.
But our relationship with farmers goes beyond
collecting milk. We believe quality milk starts
with a supported farmer, so we work alongside our
farmers to support animal health, productivity
and livelihoods.
From source
to production.
Milk from our own farm and milk collected from
local farmers form the starting point for the
Bahati dairy range.
Before incoming milk moves into production, it
passes through our reception process. This is where
quality checks help us identify abnormalities early
and determine whether the milk is suitable to move
forward for processing.
Only quality milk
moves forward.
Before milk gets near production, incoming deliveries are assessed as part of our milk-reception quality control process. These checks help identify abnormalities early and protect the quality, safety and consistency of the products we make.
Our quality team examines appearance, colour and odour and, where applicable, taste. Milk should have a clean, characteristic appearance and smell with no unusual colour, foreign matter or off-odours.
Milk is mixed with a specified concentration of alcohol solution. Flocculation or clotting can indicate instability, while a clean reaction indicates acceptable protein stability for the intended processing conditions.
Density provides an indication of the milk's physical composition and can help flag abnormal milk or possible adulteration. It is considered together with the other quality checks.
Made at
Bahati.
Once milk has passed the required reception checks,
it moves into processing and production at our dairy
in Nakuru.
From Shelf Milk and Smart Yoghurt to Mala and
Mozzarella Cheese, each product follows its own
production process before being packed and prepared
for our customers.
Growing
together.
Bahati Dairies believes that our relationship with the people around us should extend beyond the milk we collect.
For the farmers we work with, that means supporting animal nutrition, veterinary care and breeding opportunities that can contribute to healthier herds and stronger livelihoods.
Our commitment also extends beyond agriculture. Bahati Dairies supports needy families and deserving students by sponsoring education for children who may otherwise struggle to remain in school.
Better Farmers → Healthier Herds → Better Milk → Stronger Communities.
