HISTORY OF THIS ITEM (2004 BioCycle article)
Pints of Terra Fuela. Instead of ice cream, each pint contains dwarf sunflower seeds and a plastic bag filled with Intervale Compost Products’s organic potting soil. Consumers empty the soil into the pint, plant the seeds, and watch sunflowers grow in the container.
Ben & Jerry’s designed the packaging for the product and debuted Terra Fuela at its annual Ben & Jerry’s One World One Heart music festival in June 2001. Intervale Compost sold the first 10,000 pints in two months. Ben & Jerry’s sells the empty pints at cost to Intervale Compost. Intervale Compost assembles the units and sells them through its own channels of distribution.
“Terra Fuela was a great example of how we took the relationship to the next level,”. “We brought back Ben and Jerry’s own ice cream waste in a value-added form under their own brand. To apply Ben & Jerry’s brand to what is considered a waste product was a very strong gesture. It showed their commitment to what we are doing.”
