Celebrating 20 Years of Giving Back: Our Visit to KC Farm School

At Clockwork, we believe in the power of community and the importance of giving back. As part of our 20 for 20 campaign, launched in celebration of our 20th anniversary, we pledged to support 20 deserving nonprofits making a real impact in our community. One of those nonprofits is KC Farm School, a remarkable organization dedicated to education, sustainability, and connecting people to the land.

About KC Farm School

KC Farm School is more than just a farm—it's a place where people of all ages, backgrounds, and abilities come together to learn, grow, and thrive. Their mission is simple yet profound: to empower individuals through hands-on, on-farm experiences and vocational education. Through these programs, KC Farm School fosters a deep connection to the land, soil, food, and the community itself.

Their vision is equally inspiring. The farm serves as a vibrant hub for multi-generational, community-driven food projects that transform not just individuals but also the broader society. From providing job training opportunities to hosting healing and recreational activities, KC Farm School cultivates an environment where everyone can learn, heal, and have fun.

Our Experience at KC Farm School

When our team arrived at KC Farm School, we were immediately struck by the sense of community and the passion of everyone involved. We spent the morning learning about sustainable farming practices, connecting with local volunteers, and getting our hands dirty in the soil. It was a truly immersive experience that reminded us of the importance of supporting organizations that are making a tangible difference in people’s lives.

One of the highlights was seeing firsthand how KC Farm School provides vocational training. They offer participants the chance to gain practical skills in agriculture, opening up new opportunities for employment and self-sufficiency. It’s a powerful reminder of how the farm's mission goes beyond education—it’s about creating pathways to success and fostering a deeper understanding of the food we eat and where it comes from.
