Smile Farms is a nonprofit organization that creates meaningful work opportunities for adults with developmental disabilities through operations at local farms, urban gardens, greenhouses, and farm stands where participants grow and sell flowers, plants, and produce. The organization partners with other nonprofits and for-profits to develop agricultural campuses that employ adults with developmental disabilities, with each campus functioning as a revenue-generating business to support both participant employment and the nonprofit’s mission. Based in Jericho, New York, Smile Farms collaborates with community partners to address unemployment among its target population and to bring its agricultural activities into communities around Long Island. The organization’s work spans partnerships with entities across various sectors, including hospitality and legal firms, and has pursued initiatives such as holiday ornament launches and fundraising collaborations to sustain its programs. The enterprise operates within the nonprofit sector and aims to create sustainable employment opportunities by integrating training, production, and sales within locally anchored agricultural campuses.
