Peris Wambui Karugondo
Peris Wambui Karugondo is a coffee producer who owns and manages the five-hectare Muhathi Estate in Kenya's Kiambu County. After working as a nurse in the United Kingdom for 22 years, she returned to Kenya to manage the family property, which she now operates alongside her son, Sam Gicho Wambui. In addition to her own estate, she oversees the wet milling and processing operations for her siblings' neighboring coffee plots. Her farm is situated in the foothills of the Aberdare mountains, where she integrates coffee cultivation with sustenance crops and livestock farming to produce nutrient-rich compost.
Farm: Muhathi Estate →History
The family’s grandparents planted the estate’s first coffee trees during Kenya’s transition away from colonial restrictions. Their father built the shared wet mill in 1987. Peris retained the original Muhathi name for the family’s 'mother' parcel.
