A local agricultural center in Manitowoc County has had some very generous donors.
Farm Wisconsin Discovery Center Executive Director Patty Lehn explained on WOMT’s Be My Guest program that donors put up a matching challenge as part of the group’s continued fundraising to stay open.
“We had one donor step up with $25,000 and then another with an additional $5,000,” Lehn explained.
Lehn adds that donations usually come from both private individuals and corporate donors.
“I’m always humbled by the family farms that donate to Farm Wisconsin and the individuals,” she noted. “But we also have really generous local organizations.”
That includes the Manitowoc County Farm Bureau, among others.
This week, the Farm Wisconsin Discovery Center is open to the public for general admission and also includes the café.
