Our first part of the day was spent walking around the MCF Ndalani farm with the head of the farm as our guide.  She showed us over a 2 hour period the seedlings, the fields in various stages of growth from soil prep to harvest.  MCF Ndalani is a modern farm business, focusing on growing corn, beans, sorghum, cabbage, onions, tomatoes, potatoes, and so many others.  Using crop rotation and carefully documented yield results the many crops are optimized to avoid farming financial losses.   The intent is to feed all the children and staff from the produce from MCF.  Excess is sold to local grocery stores with the income being returned to MCF as a Not for profit self sustaining enterprise.  

The farm includes significant livestock, chicken for meat and eggs, cattle, goats sheep and goats for meat.  MCF is also known across Kenya for supplying many schools with tree seedlings.  Tree planting continues at both Ndalani and Yatta to ensure optimal water conservation, increased local rain.  Even the firewood, which used extensively for cooking stoves, are cut as pruned limbs on trees that regrow branches.  Sustainability is a main component of the farming endeavor of MCF.

Each crop follows the process of carefully soil preparation using only the manure generated by the cattle and livestock at MCF.  MCF is environmentally aware and meets international and national standards of food production.
