Fresh Produce Blog

As most of you know, we had a screenprint design contest, with over 400 entries, all inspired from memorable vacations!

Participants had to submit an original piece of artwork that could be developed into a screenprint for Fresh Produce. “My Favorite Vacation” was the theme. Entries came inspired by the ocean, mountains, tropical getaways and memorable moments with the ones they love.

The First Place winner’s design will be sold nationally in Fresh Produce stores with a percentage of profits going to a family and education cause of the winner’s choice.

Our first place winner is Grant Black of Fort Myers, FL!Grant was honeymooning with his wife in San Francisco when the two came across a wonderful Californian Garden. There, Grant’s wife spotted her favorite flower: the daisy. After their perfect vacation, Grant decided to paint this beautiful flower for his favorite person, his wife.

This winning design will be produced on Fresh Produce’s Extra Fresh Tee, Active Crew, and the Long Sleeve Baby Rib Tee. It will be available in colors, Periwinkle, White, Semi Sweet and Sunflower. Our anticipated release of the screenprinted tops is July 2007. So keep a look out, because a percentage of the profits go to Grant’s great cause, the National Children’s Advocacy Center!

And here is where New York City comes in…Last Thursday, the tee with Grant’s design was broadcast on the Reuters Display Board in Times Square!  How exciting, and what a great cause!
