Through the Nonprofit Spotlight series, Advancing Macomb highlights the work of a Macomb County-based nonprofit. This month, we feature Dutton Farm. In 2010, Michelle and Jim Smither and their daughter Jenny Brown started Dutton Farm to create opportunities for people with developmental disabilities. They were inspired by their daughter and sister, Rebecca "Becca." Today, Dutton Farm serves over 150 individuals through two locations in Rochester and Sterling Heights and has become a light of hope for those they serve.
