Today Rodale Institute announced Wedderspoon Organic and Salba Chia as the newest partners in their Your 2 Cents program, an inventive program which unites producers, consumers, researchers and educators to launch the next generation of organic farmers. The Your 2 Cents program was formed with the idea that companies donate 2 cents per case good sold to the Your 2 Cents Fund. In turn, the fund (1) awards scholarships to students of organic agriculture, (2) assists new organic farmers, (3) helps military veterans establish new careers in organic farming and (4) supports research projects on organic agriculture at Rodale Institute.
Wedderspoon Organic and Salba Chia join several brands from the organic sector participating in the Your 2 Cents program, including Amy’s Kitchen, Boiron, Brad’s Raw Foods, DeLoach, EcoTulips, Erewhon, Farm Organix, Kimberton Whole Foods, Maple Hill Creamery, Natural by Nature, Nature’s Path, New Chapter, Peace Tree Farm, Shop Organic, Uncle Matt’s Organics and Wild Planet.
