Empowering Farmers. Transforming Lives.
Kilimo Minnesota, founded in 2020 by Moses Momanyi and Lonah Onyancha, empowers African immigrant farmers through a 3-to-5-year program. Farmers gain organic farming experience, business mentorship, and community support. The program also focuses on organizing farmers into cooperatives, fostering collaboration and sustainable farming enterprises while navigating new climates and cultures.
Our Vision: Land, Culture, and Resilience
At Kilimo Minnesota, we see acres of land being cultivated by people from all backgrounds, working together to build a resilient food culture. These emerging farmers bring with them the rich knowledge of their own cultures, blending it with local traditions and sustainable practices to create a thriving, regenerative food system that honors the land and its heritage.
