Social Responsibility around the Holidays

| Social Responsibility around the Holidays

Happy holidays from the Farmer’s Best team! We are excited to celebrate with our family and employees this holiday season. As a company, we are committed to cultivating a positive relationship with all of our employees. Social responsibility is a large part of our overall performance and core belief. We are excited to share with you our recent social responsibility efforts to ensure our employees have a joyous holiday season.

Sharing Happiness

We recently organized an office-wide activity called contagiando felicidad or “sharing happiness,” where the team wrote positive and motivational messages on balloons all around the office. We wanted all of our office workers to have a colorful, happy day. More importantly, we wanted to encourage sharing happiness all year, but especially around the holidays. Our office staff discussed actions they could take in their own communities to spread happiness to others, including donating food to those less fortunate, helping someone in need with errands or planting a tree. All of our office employees agreed to follow through on these ideas. The activity was a huge success and was enjoyed by all.

Posada

Every year, Farmer’s Best gives the children of our field employees a party called a posada. This is a festive, Christmas-themed party where children from our on-site daycares and schools dress up and enjoy music, food, cake and a piñata.

Community Recreational Park

Just in time for the holidays, Farmer’s Best recently opened the first community recreational park. This park has a playground, outdoor gym equipment for adults, soccer and volleyball courts and an outdoor movie theater. The park is large enough to allow up to 500 children. We plan to build parks at all of our farms to give our employees and their families a space where they can enjoy time together. 

We send the warmest holiday wishes to you and your family. We encourage you to join us as we “pay it forward” this holiday season and assist those less fortunate, now and all year long.
