Our November Seedlings recipient is Kilimo Minnesota. Round up your purchases all month long to support their work.

Kilimo Minnesota is a certified organic incubator farm in Cambridge, Minnesota with a mission to empower emerging and African immigrant farmers, socially and economically, through mentorship, land access and community engagement. Founded in 2020 by Minnesota farmers and Kenyan immigrants Moses and Lonah Momanyi, Kilimo supports African immigrant farmers’ transition to farming in Minnesota.

The program is made up of a hands-on growing and marketing experience at Dawn2Dusk Farm, as well as business and production classes, field days at other farms, networking and one-on-one business coaching. By providing organic vegetable production and farm business training for emerging immigrant farmers, Kilimo Minnesota can increase regional availability of produce and improve emerging farmers’ economic livelihood while working to solve issues of farm succession and equity in our state.
