Kipchoge, like any other marathon runner, he has kept patience while running many miles across different parts of the world, having to implement same perseverance in farming before he could reap.
In an interview, Kipchoge was heard praising the venture as one of the best if all the proper procedures are followed.
“Farming is one of the best businesses, considering that over 80% of Kenyans practice it,” Kipchoge said.
He went on to say that one should invest wisely. Because it is not a business that one wakes up and starts, they must have a proper plan in place before getting started.
“Nothing comes easy; one must have the necessary patience as well as a proper plan before embarking on it,” Kipchoge added.
However, because Eliud Kipchoge is sometimes preoccupied with training and other sporting activities, his wife oversees the farms to ensure everything is in order.
According to him, his wife is in charge of ensuring that workers maintain overall cleanliness. They must clean the farm twice a day, in the morning and evening. Also, the person in charge of milking should maintain a high level of cleanliness in order to avoid bacterial infections such as ‘Mastitis.’
Despite its startup capital estimated value in the millions, the business is doing well and generating large returns on investments.
