Beecher 's Flagship Program supports non-profit organizations and educates people about the benefits of pure, all-natural food. We believe that if people have a better understanding of the sources of their food and what is in it, that they will make more nutritious eating choices. We also believe these choices will encourage food producers and retailers to grow, make and sell food that is all-natural and nutritious.
1 % of ALL Beecher’s, Bennett’s Pure Food Bistro and
Pasta & Co sales fund our Flagship Program.
Examples of projects that the Flagship Program supports are:
-
WSU Food $ense/ C.H.A.N.G.E. program
-
Seattle Culinary Academy
With our Pure Food Kids: A Recipe for Healthful Eating curricula, we provide:
- All equipment, volunteers, printed materials and foods
- 2 to 2.5 hour in-class lesson taught by our volunteers with supporting materials
- It is aimed at educating students 4th grade and above about the prevalence of food additives and their possible health risks
- Student learning objectives:
- Understand the difference between whole and processed foods
- Know common food additives and their possible harmful effects
- How to follow a recipe
- Participate in the preparation of a whole-food soup
- Understand the importance of eating healthful food
- The curricula can be taught in the classroom, in after-school programs and at PTA events
There will be no promotion of Beecher’s Handmade Cheese,
