Camphill Village MN is a life-sharing economic model, where coworkers share life and work with adults with disabilities. Camphill is partially self-supporting. Whether raising our own food or making and selling products and services to the broader community. Camphill is able to meet the majority of our general operating expenses through these different sources of income.Even though we receive funding from county, state, and federal sources Camphill Village MN has chosen licensing that results in a significant reduction in fees serving the disabled compared to similar programs. How can Camphill choose to take in less in government funding compared to other service programs and still remain the quality mainstreaming option for the disabled? This is in part because our staffs are volunteers and we raise the majority of the food on the farm. In addition, 15 percent of the general operating budget and 100 percent of the capital renovations are supported by generous donations from the community at large.
