The San Francisco Chronicle Sunday highlighted what I believe to be a good example of what social enterprising can be about. Focused on single addicted homeless men, the Saint Anthony Foundation runs an organic dairy farm just outside of San Francisco. No charges are incurred by the residents who come to organize their lives.
The farm generates 1/3 of its budget from the sale of organic milk -- a product produced from the labor of the residents. Theraputic and revenue generating = social enterprise.
