About Animal Assisted Happiness (AAH)
"Founded in 2009, our mission is to enrich the lives of youth with needs through barnyard animal interactions at our Smile Farm and mobile visits, creating moments of joy and happiness throughout our AAH community. Uniquely situated in the heart of Silicon Valley, we provide barnyard buddies so children and their family members can 'experience the smiles only animals can bring'. Our vision is a "Million Smiles". We are 100% funded by donations and grants and largely operate with our large network of volunteers."Learn more at www.animalassistedhappiness.org
Our Mission
Owned and operated by Sophie and Zoey, two high school girls in San Jose, CA, Peppermint & Zo's mission is to give back to the community while sharing with you our delicious home-baked goods. We began in 2022, selling our baked goods to friends and family, and donating over $300 to charities we wanted support. Now, we are so excited to be partnering with AAH for our upcoming bake sales. We first discovered AAH when they brought a mobile visit to our school and provided us with so many smiles only animals can bring. Inspired by their mission, we wanted to give back. What better way to support AAH than to use our passion for baking to host bake sales at the AAH Smile Farm? Everyone is happy when you can get a tasty treat while supporting a good cause!

Sophie Mak, Co-founder
Hello! I'm Sophie, one of the two founders of Peppermint & Zo. My favorite hobbies are baking (of course), writing, and sometimes even a bit of video games. Although I'm not the biggest fan of spending time outdoors, I do enjoy rollerblading to relieve stress. One fun fact about me is that I really like the cheese packets that Costco gives with their pizza. Starting Peppermint & Zo with Zoey is one of the best decisions that I have made, and we hope you all enjoy the treats as much as we like baking them!Zoey Lim, Co-founder
Hi! I'm Zoey, a creative who has ALOT of hobbies. Whenever I'm not busy with school or field hockey, I'll probably be fabricating my next fashion design, painting lotus flowers, or taking care of my plants. On top of that, I like to spend time outside, enjoying the fresh air hiking or biking. I also love to bake, so Peppermint & Zo is like my baby that Sophie and I created though our shared passion and hard work. Co-founding Peppermint & Zo has been one of the most challenging yet rewarding experiences, and I can't wait for what's to come!
Stay connected!
