Overview

Mission

The principal goal of tarryall mountain farms is to develop a high altitude sustainable farm that will educate the general public in the methodology for growing produce on a small scale in a mountain environment while also providing high quality free or low cost produce for low income individuals.

What it reported doing in 2013

In 2013 the organization wound down operations.

Operating model

Revenue model
Cannot be determined from the filing. The filing does not provide enough consistent revenue detail to tell how this nonprofit funds its work.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

REVIEW - The filed numbers largely add up. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
