A “Whole” Lotta Fun in Illinois

Thursday, May 13th, 2010
Planting seeds brings a smile to this little girl's face.

Planting a butterfly garden perhaps?

There’s nothing like digging in the dirt to bring a smile to a child’s face!

Bethel Organics recently supplied its DOT Pots to Whole Foods Market Palatine as part of an organic seed planting project which Whole Foods Market Palatine hosted as part of an event celebrating the opening of the environmentally friendly South Pavilion of Northwest Community Hospital in Arlington Heights, Illinois.

George Economos, Marketing & Community Outreach Specialist for the store said, “The event was in a word – incredible.  I had a line 25 people long all day for people to plant organic seeds in the DOT Pots. Never have seen anything like it in my life!”

Take a peek at the event in this photo album, from Bethel Farms’ Facebook page. While you’re there, why not sign up for our monthly newsletter and grow with us?

Start Small, Become Part of Something Big

Thursday, May 6th, 2010

Peel, plant and water! There’s no easier way to start a vegetable garden than with Bethel Organics’ new Peel and Seed™. Because it’s from Bethel Organics you know it’s Real Organics – Real Easy™. Each hang card contains three popular vegetables. The seeds are organic, the label is water soluble and the entire package is biodegradable.

According to the USDA, “Organic farming has been one of the fastest growing segments of U.S. agriculture for over a decade. The U.S. had under a million acres of certified organic farmland when Congress passed the Organic Foods Production Act of 1990. By the time USDA implemented national organic standards in 2002, certified organic farmland had doubled, and doubled again between 2002 and 2005.” And that’s just the certified farmland; the true numbers are mind-boggling when individual homeowners and hobby farmers are added to the mix.

When you add Peel and Seed™ to our Organic Seed Starting Kit and DOTPots™ you can see where we’re growing!

School Children Grow with Bethel Organics

West Elementary School Children Grow Organically

First Graders Take Hands-on Approach to Life Science Lesson

Recently Bethel Organics donated its Real Organic-Real Easy Seed Starting Kits™ to illustrate a life science lesson for four first grade classes at West Elementary. The kits provided the students with 100% organic and biodegradable DOT Pots™, soil tablets, fertilizer and seeds – everything they needed to grow their own plants and apply the lessons they learned about what living things need to survive. The plants began growing just in time for the students to observe the function of each plant part and within eight days they were seeing stem growth. The photo above was taken on day 18 and a few of the plants had tiny roots growing out of the pots.
