From Herbs to Honey: Jackline's Sweet Organics Journey
By Spring Agric
Meet Jackline Gathiru, a young agripreneur from Kiserian, Kajiado, and the founder of Sweet Organics, a growing line of herbal-infused honey products born out of our Value Addition Training.
Meet Jackline Gathiru, a young agripreneur from Kiserian, Kajiado, and the founder of Sweet Organics, a new line of herbal-infused honey products. When Jackline first joined our Value Addition Training in late 2024, she had a passion for growing herbs, but no clear path to turn it into a viable venture.
After participating in four rounds of training focused on value addition, agribusiness development, and branding, Jackline began exploring how to combine local herbs, such as lavender and rosemary, with honey, which gave rise to her now growing product line.
Today, Spring Agric is incubating her business, supporting her with product refinement and food safety, pricing and branding, mentorship, and market testing with customer feedback loops.
We are so proud of her progress, and this is exactly why we do what we do: to equip women and youth to lead Africa's agribusiness transformation. Watch the video above to learn more about her journey so far.
