Currently, 7 franchise distribution centres and training farms in Kenya and 1 in South Sudan.  Kenya's network operates in Busia, Eldoret, Kakamega, Meru, Naivasha, Thika and Wote. In 2011, additional sites will be opened in Kisee, Kisumu, Kitale, Nakuru and Timau.

Each franchise supports BPF farmers with an exclusive training program including more than 40 skills-based agriculture and business classes. The training program ensures basic agronomic skills and helps the participating farmers to identify markets and enhance poverty alleviation. Courses are delivered in concert with the franchise program by certified, agronomic trainers and are designed specifically to support smallholder farmers with limited access to formal education and high rates of illiteracy.

Golden Mean Capital invests in early-stage agriculture enterprises that utilize smallholder farerms in rural agriculture communities as suppliers. Their aproach brings together African entrepreneurs and  rural farmers with technical assistance providers, donors, and impact investors. This coordinated effort seeks significant ROI and catalyzessocial, wealth and ecological creation in rural economies.

The Backpack Farm is supporting Riftcot Valley Products (RVP) to implement dynamic new irrigation and training programs to increase smallholder production yields of cotton and other seed oil crops.  This dynamic social enterprise was launched in the Kerio Valley in 2009 by RVP to reintroduce cotton production back to Kenya with a commitment to impact the social, ecological and economic status of Kenya's smallest farmers.
