A cozy Start to Sustainable Living!

Welcome to Farmhouse & Future,

A space where rustic living meets bold ideas—rooted in tradition, reaching for innovation.

I’m Maria, a Nairobi-based creative, interior enthusiast, and procurement professional with a deep love for timeless spaces and future-focused industries.

My journey spans from cozy showrooms and curated textures to complex supply chains and regional trade, and this blog is where it all comes together.

Here’s what I explore:

Interior styling & rustic design through My Rustic Place

Creative workshops in epoxy, clay, and handmade art

Smart mobility & innovation—from air traffic systems to electric bikes and intelligent transport

Procurement & consulting via Marli One, across retail, interiors, mobility, and strategy

Fashion & lifestyle, because aesthetic matters in every space

Agribusiness & value chains—from farm life to shelf:

Animal feed (raw & processed)

Regional grains & pulses (Kenyan, Somali & Ethiopian)

Milling industry (wheat, maize, rice)

Value addition and FMCG distribution—like flour for bakers, households & wholesale

Insights into food systems, trade logistics, and market access across East Africa

Through this blog, you’ll find:

1.Behind-the-scenes moments from our workshops and showrooms 🛠📸

2. Space styling tips and design stories ✨

3. Stories of building something from scratch—brands, businesses, and systems 💭

4. Deep dives into supply chains, sustainability, and cross-border trade

5. Lessons from both the creative world and the logistics world

6. Ideas for anyone building with purpose—whether it’s a lifestyle or a legacy

This is where the farmhouse meets the future—where soulful design, thoughtful supply chains, and smart innovation live side by side.

Thanks for joining the journey.
