As we celebrate Labor Day in the U.S. next Monday, we need to remember that it’s not just a day off of work and the unofficial end to summer. It’s a day to celebrate and appreciate workers everywhere and recognize their hard work and dedication. We’re celebrating workers during the whole month of September. During GROW Month this September, consumers and retailers can participate in giving back to the workers who grow our bananas in Mexico. We take pride in taking care of workers through the GROW fund, which contributes to medical, dental and scholarship programs for our workers and their families.
Coming next week: Special contest for creative organic displays! Check back for details.
We want to wish everyone a very happy and safe Labor Day!
Back to School with GROW

Summer is almost over and families are gearing up for a new school year. With a renewed devotion to nutritious, wholesome foods, parents are looking for creative ways to get their kids to eat healthy. GROW bananas are the perfect solution, whether it is as a handy fruit in a lunch box, or as part of a delicious recipe. And during GROW Month retailers can take advantage of additional GROW promotional help that will highlight organic bananas for your customers.
GROW Month is an annual event in September. That’s when children all over the US head back to school, and it’s also when your customers can focus on helping the children of farm workers in Mexico. Each purchase means more help for young people so that they will become stronger, more educated members of society. GROW funding provides them with scholarships, school supplies, tutoring, uniforms, field trips and living accommodations.
Here are a few recipe ideas to help spark your customers’ imaginations and culinary skills:
Setting Up a GROW Display + Contest for Retailers!
GROW Month is quickly approaching, and we’re preparing supplies to make participation easy and effective for you. In addition to banana bags during the month of September, we will have downloadable POPs, recipe cards, weekly merchandising tips and in-store demos for select stores.
Setting up a GROW Month display is easy. First, contact Organics Unlimited and order GROW bananas, GROW banana bags and recipe cards for your store. Next, download our POP, print and display the POP near GROW bananas and recipe cards. When bananas start to ripen past the optimum selling stage, put them into a GROW banana bag printed with an easy recipe. Shoppers can purchase the ripened bananas to use for baking and cooking, and retailers can choose to sell these bananas at a discounted rate. Retailers can also lay the bags near the bananas and allow shoppers to select their own hands of bananas to place in the bags.
Would you like any special POPs or sales materials for your store? Contact us, and our design team can create materials specific to your store’s needs.

We look forward to September, and thanks for your support!
