OUR BUSINESSES 
​We have an assortment of businesses for our program participants to participate in and we encourage them to develop their own ideas.  

We are always looking for additional opportunities, and encourage our members to bring forward and develop their ideas.  The development and maintenance of our businesses is solely the responsibility of our client participants.  These endeavors are a major part of what makes Sunny Acres “work”. Sunny Acres is self-supporting; we do not want to burden the taxpayers.

Our businesses not only provide income to help us sustain our recovery programs, but also provide therapeutic vocational training for our clients.

Agriculture
Farming: We plant and grow a variety of produce to sell in our on-site vegetable stand, including a large pumpkin crop in the fall.    

Christmas Trees: we import fresh cut trees from Oregon and sell them in our festive Christmas Tree lot

Wine Barrels    
We cut barrels in halves and sell full and half barrels.  Some wineries are using large oak “flavor sticks” in steel tanks rather than the expensive oak barrels. We currently have wine barrels for sale: 
$50 for halves and $100 for whole barrels.

Cow/Calf Operation
Sunny Acres owns a herd of cattle. As the herd grows, we send some every year to market with that income stream helping our recovery program.
​
Thrift Store
    Come visit our thrift shop and see all that we have to sell.
Firewood
    Local tree trimming arborists provide us with plenty of wood which our recovery clients cut and split. They maintain our chainsaws, keeping them in good repair and sharpening the chains so they are always ready to use.
