The Law in Action: Farmers Speak on Business Structures

Farmers Phoebe and Hector of Hawk's Nest Healing Gardens share their decision-making process for choosing the right business structure for their goals

If your farm is driven primarily by a mission to serve the greater good, you might be really interested in a non-profit structure… but you also might not be sure the non-profit structure is the right fit for you! If so, you’re not alone.

Phoebe and Hector of Hawk’s Nest Healing Gardens in North Carolina went through a similar journey when they started their farm. They were thinking about forming a non-profit and went on a journey to figure out if a non-profit was really the right fit for their needs and goals. Watch the video to hear about their decision making process.
