Our Journey
Home of Real Farm Freshness
Githunguri Dairy Farmers Co-op Society (GDFCS) was founded in August 1961 with a membership of 31 small scale farmers. In 2004, our processing plant was commissioned giving birth to the Fresha Brand. Our Current membership has since grown to 27,492.
Fresha milk is one of the freshest brands because it reaches the market in less than ten hours from milking, and it's real farm fresh cow milk without any additives or powder milk, the brand offers 100% real cow fresh milk.
The Strategic Evolution
"GDFCS has grown into one of Kenya's leading dairy cooperatives. We pride ourselves on an extensive countrywide distribution network encompassing Fresh milk, Long-life milk, Fermented milk (lala), Butter, Ghee, Cream, Yoghurt, and Purified bottled drinking water."
