A social enterprise is a hybrid approach to business—one that measures success not only by its financial return on investment, but by its social return as well. Profitability keeps the enterprise sustainable; social impact gives that profitability a larger purpose.

​

GreenRight is a social enterprise designed to help regenerative farms and great businesses grow while making the products, services and experiences they offer more accessible to everyone. We do this through Cause Dedicated Marketing—a market-driven charitable giving model that harnesses everyday consumer spending to create broader community benefit.

​

The idea began nearly fifteen years ago with a simple question: Could the money we already spend every day be used more intentionally to strengthen our communities?

​

At its heart, GreenRight brings together conscientious consumers, regenerative farms, Great Businesses and organizations facilitating natural healing and restoration. Each has something valuable to offer the others. By connecting them through commerce, tourism and storytelling, we create mutually beneficial relationships designed to help good businesses grow while strengthening the whole community.

​

Today, that vision is taking shape through Farm Belle Transportation, a premium black car, agritourism and delivery service serving the Shenandoah Valley. Whether providing professional transportation for business, airport travel, special occasions or tourism, Farm Belle generates revenue through services people already need and enjoy, while twenty percent of GreenRight's overall profit helps support its charitable mission.

​

Through our Farm Treasure Trail, guests can experience the beauty of the Shenandoah Valley—in black car style—while discovering regenerative farms, inspiring local businesses and agricultural destinations. The tours are designed to make these experiences accessible at several levels: guests can choose a premium private experience, while couples, families and groups can share the experience and divide the cost among themselves. And through our tour-for-tour model, every Farm Treasure Trail booked helps finance a tour for someone who otherwise could not afford the experience.

 

But the impact extends beyond the tours themselves.​ Through Cause Dedicated Marketing, GreenRight's maps, directories, tours and storytelling shine a light on regenerative farms and Great Businesses doing exceptional work, helping conscientious consumers recognize and support authentic corporate citizens. In turn, their success helps build a stronger local economy and creates more opportunities for people to access the knowledge, products and experiences they provide.

​

Where we spend our money matters. Farms and businesses that produce excellent products, care for people and resources, and reinvest in their communities depend upon consumers choosing to support them. GreenRight gives consumers an enjoyable way to make those choices. This is what we mean by Consumer Choice: recognizing the power consumers have to help grow stronger and healthier communities through the choices they make every day.

​

And through The Gourd Mother, GreenRight fosters Community Supported Healing & Restoration by directing twenty percent of its overall profit to nonprofit organizations providing vital health and human services for survivors of human trafficking. In this way, commerce and community care become part of the same system—helping sustain the resources survivors need to heal, rebuild and thrive.

​

This is the heart of GreenRight's Business Model: rather than separating commerce, marketing and charitable giving, we design them to reinforce one another. Customers purchase services they already value. Farm Belle generates revenue and introduces people to participating farms and Great Businesses. Those businesses gain customers and exposure. And a portion of the success generated through that activity is reinvested into greater access, healing and restoration.

​

The result is a sustainable cycle: Great businesses create meaningful experiences and livelihoods. Conscientious consumers help those businesses thrive. Their success creates resources and opportunities that can be reinvested in people and community.

​

We believe wise consumption, natural healing and restoration, and patronage of our community's regenerative farms and Great Businesses are investments in a stronger future—for everyone.​
