We went for a friends birthday and had a fantastic time, being shown around the factory and the farm. It was interesting comparing how cheeses are made here and in the UK. The meal was a selection of different cheeses with the crackers. Very filling but not suitable if you don't like cheese :( Which luckily the party did and demolished the meal, followed by ice cream. There was also the opportunity to purchase cheeses to take home which of course we all did. Well worth a visit, even if off the beaten track and we did get a little lost due to insufficient signage.

One of the best trips out of Nairobi. You have to book well in advance and they have a minimum numbers for your party, so get your friends together.Brown's Cheese farm is situated about 45 minutes out of Nairobi in rolling hills of Lamuru. You drive through tea estates en-route so a great idea if you have visitors from out of town.When you arrive, you don white overalls and hat and go for a tour of the "factory" I am still amazed that they make all that cheese there and was convinced that they had a HUGE factory hidden behind the trees. After the factory tour, there is a yummy cheese tasting, followed by buffet lunch in the garden. Food for the lunch is mostly sourced directly from the farm. Included in the price as your welcome drink and wine and soft drinks, during lunch. Altogether, a lovely day out. I think I have been three times.

We were in the Tigoni area and called Sun Power Products Ltd (commonly known as Brown's Cheese) to ask if we could stop by to buy some cheese on Wednesday 23rd Dec.The tours we learnt were closed until 2015.The 3 of us arrived shortly thereafter and their staff welcomed us only for some strange white man (we later learned was one of the owners called Andrew) to 'follow' us around the shop without once greeting us but somehow managing to make his presence felt very patronizingly.One of us looked him in the eye and said hello,ah only then he responded.I didn't pick up on it until as we left,parking is very tight so we had to reverse out.Andrew drove his car almost menacingly towards us and one of us said...do you see that? Clearly his car had been ready for a long time but he wasn't about to leave us in the shop in case...??what?..we got free cheese? or some rotten gouda like they tried to sell us?It is unbelievable that in the 21st Century in Kenya some 3rd/4th generation kaburu can still be like this.Andrew is bloody racist and his cheese like him deserves to be shamed.Terrible experience not to be recommended for anyone.

Brown's cheeses are the best local cheeses and they now have a great many to choose from. Quality wise, I cannot fault them, they take great care and obviously put a lot of love into their work. Also available are dips and cream cheeses and they never fail to surprise you whenever there is a fair. Friendly and polite as always, it is a pleasure to buy their products.

We came here with a group of friends recently for a tour of the factory and a delicious lunch outdoors on the grounds. We were welcomed with a cool drink of fresh ginger lemon-grass tea (out-of-this world good) and then quickly split up into two groups for the tour. We were instructed to leave our bags and camera behind for the tour and given long lab coats, shoe covers and hair nets to wear. The owner/manager gave a quick demo and answered some questions in the lobby before going inside for the tour because, she explained it is very loud in there. We did not get to see the entire operation but did get to visit one cheese making room, and then two of the storage rooms all with a different, quite knowledgable, women who led the tour. Once everyone from our group was given a tour we congregated outside on the grass, under beautifully decorated, table clothed tables where we were served beer and wine, a marble slab with an assortment of different cheeses and jams all made there and all delicious. A little while later a lunch buffet was presented, with a dizzying array of gourmet salads, roasted vegetables, chicken tacos, and homemade dressings. After lunch we explored the garden and farm animals.... fantastic afternoon trip just outside Nairobi; a tad on the expensive side but worth the visit. Can't wait to bring my out-of-town visitors!

Visited Browns on Saturday 6th Sept only contacted them on the Wednesday 3rd we were able to join a group as their was only 3of us and minimum requirement is 6 in a party..The directions to Browns were very clear and easy to follow,on arrival we were given a drink of wine,beer or homemade lemonade(which was delicious ).staff very friendly and attentive.We put on our white coats hats and shoe covers and went and had a tour around the cheese factory Delia who was our guide was very informative and knowledgeable on the tour showing us where they made mozzarella,and the store rooms where cheese is left to mature,some parts of the factory is out of bounds but that is because they were using mould and not good for the cheeses to have people traipsing through. After the tour we were given a cheese tasting platter with homemade biscuits and breads jams and chutneys then a lovely meal rather a lot of food but it was of fabulous quality ,all homegrown in the vegetable patch.lovely to see some colobus monkeys in the gardens. All in all a very fulfilling afternoon in beautiful surroundings and lovely attentive staff who look after you so well. We will be visiting again and taking family with us as they visit. If your not all cheesed out you can purchase cheese jams chutneys and biscuits from the shop.

My son (12 yewars old) and I went to Brown's in April for the cheese factory tour and lunch. We arrived about 30 minutes early, and the staff were wonderful, suggesting a walk on the nature trail or a drink on the patio while we waited. After canapes and drinks, we received the lesson on how cheese is made, changed into our lab coats to tour the factory, received the tour, and then had a great cheese sampler plate, followed by lunch in the garden. There were maybe 20 people in attendance at the tour and lunch. One of the owners conducted the tour, happily answered all questions, and made sure we were well taken care of. Lunch was wonderful, and it was a nice, leisurely afternoon. Also, as you drive to Brown's, you pass some of Kenya's tea and coffee plantations, which was a nice extra. This was my son's fifth visit, and my first, but we'll definitely be back. This is one of Nairobi's best experiences and values!

A vist to Browns is a treat in many ways. I was with a group and we had a wonderful lunch out on the grounds after touring the pretty farm and interesting cheese factory. I love what the very involved owner is doing there and appreciate her striving to produce an excellent product.

Getting a booking for their lunch tour had been quite difficult over the past few months. They have recently engaged a new Sales & P.R. Manager, who we thought was fantastic! She was quick to respond and was very clear about booking conditions etc. The lunch itself was okay, not worth the amount they asked for. We've been to many places like this, around the country & world, and we just didn't feel it was worth what they asked for. We didn't even get our 3 glasses of wine. The staff, I have to say, were really really good! They would be the reason I would go back. The owner herself was very indifferent to us. Not hospitable at all. I don't know if I'd go back here.
