About this product
Fresh rosemary, grown and packed in Kajiado
We supply rosemary as firm, upright sprigs. Rosemary is a perennial that we grow in open field on the Kajiado plains, where dry air and strong sun suit woody herbs.
Sprigs are cut to order and packed in the format you need, from bunches to retail punnets.
