Organic agriculture reached a new audience this Earth Month with a feature on CBS News. The segment highlighted the Courage to Grow collaboration between the Burgeon Beer Company and the beloved band Rebelution, featuring organic hops, with proceeds supporting organic farmers through the CCOF Foundation.
The news segment showcased how artists and businesses can come together to create real impact. Organic farmers have long led the way with regenerative practices such as cover cropping, mulching, and rotational grazing, which boost soil health, conserve water, and strengthen farm resilience while producing high-quality crops. Highlighting these efforts on a national stage helps more people understand the value of organic agriculture and the farmers behind it. We are proud and grateful that Burgeon Beer and Rebelution have chosen to benefit the CCOF Foundation and the farmers we serve through the sales of this commemorative beer, made with organic ingredients.
