DiRTY DRiNKS
A bar & bev campaign raising glasses (and funds!) for healthy soil.
Healthy soil on farms makes for better food on your plate—and the same is true for our favorite drinks! From agave to rye, coffee berries to wine grapes, the best sips start at the farms that prioritize soil health.
Dirty Drinks is a campaign connecting the beverage industry back to its agricultural roots. From August 24th to 30th, drinkmakers will serve up creative spins on a ‘dirty drink’ and contribute $1 for each drink sold. Funds raised will go directly to farmers restoring our climate by building healthy soil. Bottoms up, carbon down!
HOW DO YOU DIRTY A DRINK?
Just like with growing good food, there are a lot of ways to dirty a drink! Whether it's a little olive juice in a martini, an espresso shot in a chai, or a wine’s thoughtful terroir, we’re inviting drink makers to use their creativity and playful interpretation.
A dirty drink is flavorous, innovative, and probably a little punny. But most importantly, it includes a $1 contribution that turns dirt into healthy soil by getting funds to farmers.
Zero Foodprint distills things down to fun and easy ways to take action. You buy a dirty drink, and we’ll send 100% of the contributions directly to growers cultivating healthy soil.
