Giving Back to Our Communities

We believe in supporting our local communities and being a good neighbor — it’s our way of “thinking globally, acting locally.”

Building Future Environmental Stewardship

Earthbound Farm supports the next generation of environmental stewards by funding academic scholarships at Anzar High School, California State University Monterey Bay, and University of California Santa Cruz.

• The 2007 Anzar scholarship went to Justin Brown, who plans to pursue environmental studies at Cabrillo College.


• The 2007 CSUMB award went to Kathryn Spencer, who is majoring in Earth Systems Science & Policy.

Local Organic Outreach

Our outreach program delivers farm-fresh organic produce to local schools. The program has been so successful that we’ve expanded it to our local hospital, the Community Hospital of the Monterey Peninsula. We’ve also helped students at Anzar High School start a student-managed organic garden.

One of our local sponsorships grew into a much wider campaign to promote organic cotton at the Big Sur International Marathon's 10.6 mile walk.

Supporting Community Activities

Being good neighbors means taking an active role in community activities by supporting charitable organizations and events throughout the year with financial and product donations:

• Local youth sports leagues


• Local school fundraising events and scholarship funds


• Local service agencies


• Local races/walks and other events that raise money for charitable organizations


• Local food banks and other programs that feed the hungry
