Tryon Life Community Farm

TLC Farm as a non-profit organization has accomplished a great deal with very little operating income. At the same time, we have raised a very large amount of money in order to protect the land we occupy from development (see our history).

An important part of our "open source" approach to this project is making the accounting for our operations as accessible as possible. As this web site matures, we are placing current and archive financial statements and budgets here. In addition, we discuss in more of a narrative form the financial flows that keep us going, and how broad public participation plays such a crucial role.

After all, this place and project belong to all of us, and the earth!

First, as an example, you might want to explore our narrative financial statement (for first half 2007), which includes notes about our accounting policies. We've had positive responses to this way of presenting information, so we hope to start posting regular narrative reports on a timely basis in 2010 -- time willing!

• Combined statements, with narrative and notes
• Jan to Jun 2007 Revenues and Expenses by month
• 12/31/06 and 6/30/07 Financial Position (Balance Sheet)

Our basic financial reports for all years of our existence are attached to this page below. These include:

• financial statements for 2007 - 2008, and
• IRS 990 returns for 2006 - 2008.

We've also posted year-to-date for 2009, which will be replaced with finals when they're ready.
