Good to know

Transport to your farm isn't included. We tell you the cost and agree it with you before we dispatch anything.
You pay by M-Pesa once we've confirmed your order and you've signed the agreement. Nothing is ever paid inside the app.
Every option has a written agreement that says exactly what's included, what happens if equipment is damaged, and how it ends.
Black Soldier Fly results depend on how the farm is run. We don't promise a particular harvest, saving or income.
