Organic Earthbound Farm contest for kids
July 21, 2009 by Jennifer
Earthbound Farm has been in the organics biz for a good long while. Earthbound Farm was founded on a 2.5-acre backyard garden in Carmel Valley, CA, by Drew & Myra Goodman in 1984, and by 1993 they begin selling their salad greens to major food retailers. Now they deliver organic salads, fruits, and vegetables supermarkets across North America and beyond.
As they continue to grow they’ve made some changes such as recently switching to post-consumer recycled (PCR) plastic for their salad containers. Along with the new labels, they’re designing new labels that carry the PCR symbol AND a possible quote from your child.
In honor of the new labels, Earthbound Farm has launched a web-based contest seeking quotes from children for the inside of its clamshell salad labels. Kids can submit quotes thanking those who purchase organic.
For each child’s quote that is chosen, they have the opportunity to win:
1. A $500 US Savings Bond for education.
2. A $500 donation in your child’s name to their choice of one of these nonprofit environmental organizations:
- American Forests
- Beyond Pesticides
- Environmental Working Group
- Healthy Child Healthy World
- Natural Resources Defense Council
- Organic Farming Research Foundation
- Pesticide Action Network North America
- Union of Concerned Scientists
3. Winning quotes will appear on the back of Earthbound Farm’s new salad labels and on the Earthbound Farm website. 4 winners will be selected in July and then a new winner will be selected every month through the end of 2009!
