Business Model

At Maple Leaf Farm, our business model is rooted in sustainability, education, and authentic connection to the land. We operate as a community-oriented farm and learning center, offering hands-on experiences, seasonal workshops, and consulting services designed to inspire and equip individuals with the knowledge to live more sustainably.

Our income is generated through the following core areas:

1. Educational Programs

We offer structured courses and workshops on organic gardening, ecological farming, homesteading skills, and sustainable living practices. These programs are available in seasonal formats (spring, summer, fall), and are open to individuals, families, and small groups.

2. Immersive Farm Experiences

Participants can spend one or more days living and working on the farm. These paid experiences include guided activities, meals, and learning sessions, and are ideal for those looking for a meaningful break from city life.

3. Sustainability Consulting

We provide private consultations and on-site visits for individuals and families interested in transitioning to a more sustainable lifestyle. This includes garden planning, compost system design, greenhouse set-up, and general eco-living support.

4. Farm Products

Our farm stand and Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) program offer seasonal vegetables, herbs, eggs, and handmade goods such as jams and natural soaps. This direct-to-customer model allows us to maintain quality and build trust with our community.

5. Partnerships and Group Visits

We collaborate with schools, organizations, and community groups to offer educational tours and nature-based learning days. These are scheduled throughout the year and tailored to the needs of each group.

This hybrid model allows us to balance economic viability with our commitment to education, community, and environmental stewardship. By investing in people and the planet, we grow a future that is both resilient and rewarding.
