Why we do this:
The Singing Vegetable Show is a kid-centered branch of a larger mission to create media that has a positive influence on individuals and society. The goal is to be a beacon of optimism and sanity in a world of entertainment that’s largely pointless or downright destructive. The Project was founded by Ben Brill and Javier de Barro in 2015 when they began making music videos with vegetables to encourage Javier’s 3 year old daughter to fall in love with healthy eating. Since then, the whimsical yet profound nature of the music and messages has attracted a crew of talented musicians, artists and collaborators who help make the videos and live shows a reality.
Each video or live puppet show is appropriate for all ages and expresses ideas about respecting one another, living sustainably, having fun, being creative, or healthy eating. If you have young kids, check out our live shows page to see what they can gain from experiencing the live puppet show.
Join the mailing list to stay current on our CONSCIOUS entertainment and have a chance to win a free vegetable show for your family! (If you don’t have kids, you can give it to a friend and make their day)
