Campbell’s believes in the significance of barns and their symbolism to our agricultural industry. Because of this, Campbell’s has made the preservation of this barns a special cause. Last October Campbell’s nominated ten farms and had voters decide on five of them to be renovated through the Help Grow Your Soup Campaign.
Campbell donated a total of $500,000 to the National FFA Organization supporting educational programs that help students explore the many opportunities that modern agriculture offers. The program spotlights the company’s dedication to the farmers that grow good food and its commitment to the future of the American agriculture industry.

How amazing is the transformation? You can see the other barn restorations on the Help Grow Your Soup website along with other great information. Check out how to grow your own virtual tomatoes, the entire process from land to can and even tips for growing a real garden!
The Help Grow Your Soup campaign also includes a partnership with Who Grew My Soup?
Who Grew My Soup? tells a fascinating story about ten-year old Phineas Quinn, a curious youngster who loves junk food. When his mother serves him a bowl of vegetable soup, Phineas says,
”I like stuff that’s deep-fried and loaded with sugar. But vegetable soup? Yikes! I’d rather eat boogers!”
Phineas hatches a plan to avoid eating vegetables. But his scheme backfires and he finds himself on a hilarious adventure, flying from farm to farm in a giant tomato balloon. Along the way Phineas learns where his food comes from and he meets the farmers who grow it.
Buy it: The Who Grew My Soup hardcover book is available for only $9.99 on Amazon! Campbell’s products are available nationwide.

It’s cool to know that Campbells supports sustainable farming. Great job!
I found some of the tips for growing interesting. Specifically that covering soil with an organic compost or mulch can help to conserve water and prevent soil diseases from contaminating plants.
never really though about it but i learned you should wash your hands before touching the veggies in your garden so you dont spread germs.

Campbell’s develops between 300 and 500 new varieties of tomatoes, narrowing it down to one or two tomatoes that are more flavorful and nutritious every year.

They’ve already helped restore 2 barns, and three more are in the works! Awesome.
I didn’t realize you had to store tomatoes at room temperature (70F) with the stems up

I love the Community Garden projects, especially the Woodland gardens in Camden, NJ. I once lived close to Camden, and I know that for people living in poverty, with no big grocery stores nearby, it is sometimes difficult to eat healthy because they have no way to get fresh produce easily. A community garden is a way for people to make their own fresh produce and start living a healthier life.
