MODEL

Each Smile Farms campus is a revenue-generating business that can use the funds earned to support its participants’ employment and its mission.  Smile Farms works closely with its partners to devise site-specific farming and marketing plans that maximize profitability.  It helps fund start-up costs and provides ongoing financial support to the campus based on the number of people employed.

Smile Farms plants, flowers and fresh produce are sold in a variety of venues in the communities where campuses are located; are used in partner organizations’ kitchens; and are donated to local nonprofits serving people who are in need.
