Voi Sisal Estate is located near the township of Voi in the Taita-Taveta District. It specializes mainly to production of sisal fiber and farming of pineapples.
There are two semi autobiographical books written about the life on the estate. They are On A Plantation in Kenya (later re-titled Red Soils of Tsavo) written by M G. Visram and its sequel Beyond The Baobab Tree.
Famous quotes containing the word estate:
“Sweet are the thoughts that savour of content,
The quiet mind is richer than a crown;
Sweet are the nights in careless slumber spent,
The poor estate scorns Fortune’s angry frown.
Such sweet content, such minds, such sleep, such bliss,
Beggars enjoy, when princes oft do miss.”
—Robert Greene (1558?–1592)
