Uplands Premium Dairies & Foods Ltd (UPDF) was set up in 2014.
It was conceived after the frustration for local farmers who had to contend with a collapsed dairy industry in the region. When the main players in the industry pulled out, the local farmer was left at the mercy of the milk brokers whose main agenda was to exploit them.
It is then that Pascha was born. Pascha is an Africanized form of the English word “Pasture”. It brings forth the feeling of green pastures from which our cows are fed.
From the lush, rolling hills of the Aberdares, came forth the promise of nourishment, fresh and vitality in the name of Pascha Whole Life Milk.
Our goal then, just as it remains now, was to capture the essence of our dairy farmers’ passionate labour and spread it across Kenya. It is this desire and drive that has seen us invest in cutting edge dairy processing technology to share the pride of our farms with all Kenyan homes. Through various successes and setbacks, we continue to strive for what we believe in. We endeavour to bring real value to all our stakeholders. From our over 5,000 farmers who are up before dawn to replenish our raw milk supplies, to our distributors and suppliers, we are all united to ensure we have stamped our footprints in all corners of the country.
