Here at Kingstone Asilia we welcome you as one of our family. Here in our peaceful farm on the outskirts of Arusha, you will experience the entire local process of planting, harvesting, grinding, roasting and tasting your own coffee, using local handpowered methods.
On our walk around the farm, we'll show you some traditional Tanzanian medicinal plants and tell you the fun stories of how they are used.
Our tour concludes with a delicious home-cooked vegetarian lunch, prepared by our own chef, with fresh ingredients bought that day in the market, or harvested from the farm. You may also get the chance to try some local banana beer if you dare!
