2012 “Bumper Sticker” Art Competition

This year we asked our talented Grade 3 through 5 artists to create a Bumper Sticker that consisted of original artwork in the form of a character (animal, vegetable, fruit, child, adult etc) and a slogan that encourages kids to eat fruits and vegetables.In addition they were asked to answer a number of questions that focused their attention on healthy eating. Sixty students from the St. Helena Elementary School, St. Helena Catholic School, St. Helena Montessori School, and The Young School submitted entries. 

Our artists did such a great job that it was very difficult to decide the final Grand Prize Winner. So much so that in the end we decided to appoint two Grand Prize Winners this year - St. Helena Catholic School’s third grader, Daphne’s “Go Green Characters” and St.Helena Monterssori School’s third grader, Billy’s “Rocking Veggies”. Their artwork will adorn the expanded line of adult, youth, and toddler apparel and merchandise. And we just couldn’t resist, St. Helena Catholic School, fourth grader Stephanie’s adorable “Yummy Bunny/Carrot” artwork which will be featured on infant apparel. Stephanie was 2^nd Runner Up for Grade 4.

See all the winners in the 2012 Art Competition.

All of the participant’s artwork will be displayed at the market’s General Store throughout the season so do make sure you stop by. In addition to visiting the entries displayed at the General Store you can see all the winners in the 2012 Art Competition. Click to view an enlarged image.

We offer a very big thank you to all the students who participated and to all of the parents and teachers who supported and encouraged the young artists!.

And of course our very popular Tractor logo, designed by local artist Geoff Ellsworth will continue to be featured on all of our market's collateral and on a range of merchandise at the Market's General Stores.

Top 10 Reasons to Shop at the St. Helena Farmers’ Market

1. Support local farmers and the local economy.
2. Reduce pollution and fuel usage. (Our fruits and veggies are grown in California—several of our vendors are from the Napa Valley.)
3. Support growers who respect the environment and who protect natural resources.
4. The produce is really fresh. (Many of our farmers pick just before coming to market—which makes produce tastier and more nutritious.)
5. Help protect our farming heritage by saving heirloom varieties.
6. Keep diversity alive in produce choices. Our farmers grow many old varieties not available in local supermarkets.
7. Our local produce often costs less than produce sold at local stores.
8. It’s a good excuse to meet friends for coffee and pastries.
9. Maintain the heritage of this “Community Treasure,” founded in July 1986.
10. It’s fun!
