In 1984, Earthbound Farm started in a backyard garden, where founders Drew and Myra Goodman wanted to grow food they could feel good about serving to friends and family — and that meant farming organically.

As we celebrate our 25th anniversary, Earthbound Farm certified organic produce is grown by 150 dedicated farmers who share our commitment to organic food and farming. They use the same sustainable farming methods on the smallest farm (about 5 acres) as on the largest (about 680 acres). Together, we’re working to bring the benefits of healthy, delicious organic food to as many people as possible and serve as catalysts for positive change.

In 2009 alone, our organic farming on more than 33,000 acres will:

• avoid use of over 305,000 pounds of toxic and persistent pesticides;
• avoid use of nearly 10.3 million pounds of synthetic fertilizers;
• conserve an estimated 1.6 million gallons of petroleum by avoiding the
• use of petroleum-based pesticides and fertilizers; and
• fight global warming by absorbing carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas, at an estimated rate equivalent to taking more than 7,500 cars off the road.
