Klemo Foundation is located on a 2.5-acre property where late artist James Klemo’s sculptures and dwellings intertwine with the natural environment. This garden is a territory for experimentation, and moratorium for a world in a state of incessant disruption and distraction. Our mission is to promote values of peace and creativity through environmental awareness, arts and agriculture by programming unconventional projects within our communities, catering primarily to local youth and their families.

Here, you step away from the constant intensification of neural stimulation and create counter-culture. This is where youth can question the socio economic beliefs that this technological society is advancing. We have a responsibility to our youth that they understand the historical residue that is still ever present, we are a society that is trying to overcome oppression, cohesion, and decentralization.

We seek to build a farm in conjunction with the artist’s work on the land, to grow food, to feed people and be one with nature. We wish to create an international audience, as we believe internationalism is moving towards peace. We are interested in bringing diversity to this community. Klemo Foundation is composed of farmers, gardeners, artists, craftspeople, educators and entrepreneurs with experience in grass- roots organizing and regenerative farming. We rely on our knowledge of specialty crop growing, rules and laws of horticulture, and nursery management to fulfill our mission. This is a space for land Art, sculpture, performance, and agriculture. We will be cooking, gardening, providing CSA boxes, offering horticulture classes, art classes, critical thinking, and hosting visiting lecturers.

Your support and involvement does not go unnoticed, and we invite you to be part of this as we grow.
