Sponsorship
Sponsor a Dirt Buster
Most people are several generations removed from the farm. Many have picked up wrong ideas about their food and have little sense of what it takes to get it to the table. A Dirt Buster corrects a common myth with accurate information, a hands-on interaction, and sources people can check. Co-ops, commodity groups, farmers markets, fair boards, and restaurants that serve local food can sponsor one Dirt Buster or a full season.
Why sponsor
- Corrects misinformation about agriculture. Each Dirt Buster takes on a common myth and shows people what is true.
- Shows what it takes to produce food. People see the work, care, and people behind what ends up on their plate.
- Puts your name in front of the public. Your logo sits on a Dirt Buster people tap through and share.
- Backed by sources. Every Dirt Buster is researched and links to sources people can check.
- Reaches kids and grown-ups. Families explore it together at events, in classrooms, and at home.
- Works on any phone. Visitors use their own phones with a QR code or a shared screen. No login or app download.
What sponsors get
- Your logo at the top and bottom of each sponsored Dirt Buster
- Event links and QR codes to share at your booth, store, or on social media
Sponsors do not decide what a Dirt Buster concludes. Every answer links to sources learners can check.
