At Earthbound Farm, we believe that organic is the healthiest choice for people and the planet. So when people choose our organic salads, they’re helping us make a difference for future generations. Who better to say “thank you” than the kids whose future is at stake?

We want to hear from kids (ages 17 and under) who want people to choose organic food to help protect the environment for the future. If their quote is chosen, your child will win:

1. A $500 US Savings Bond for your child’s future education

2. A $500 donation in your child’s name to their choice of one of these dedicated 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 our new salad labels and on our website!

We’ve switched to 100% post-consumer recycled (PCR) plastic for our salad containers, and we’ve designed new labels that carry the PCR symbol. Winning quotes will appear on the back of those labels, and on our website, too. We started with 4 winners in July, 2009 and we’re adding new winners periodically. See all the winning quotes so far!
