Self-Funding Business Model
As a part of the students’ training, they spend time working the school farm, harvesting crops, managing the farm store & farm-to-table restaurant, manufacturing value-added products from farm produce and various other aspects of SAVE Institute’s revenue generating business functions. The revenue generated from these business functions, provides direct funding for the school’s operations.
