You can help to support the Kalamazoo community’s connection with the natural world through garden-based experiences at KNC’s DeLano Farms. With your help, we’ll raise something just as important as sweet cherry tomatoes; awareness and engagement among KNC visitors of all ages. You can support farm operation, including farm interns, farm-based programs, seed, tools and more. Together we’ll learn about healthy, local food. We’re all about cultivating a healthier planet and community.
Check back soon to learn more about the 1858 Homestead and farm.
