We're Turning 10. And We Want You There.

Ten years ago, Sophie Kovic started Seed & Sprout with an idea for a lunchbox. And we managed to find a community of people who felt the same way. That community was you.

So when it came to planning our 10th birthday, we knew one thing for certain: the people in that room needed to include our legendary customers. The ones who've been there to support us and guide us into who we are today.

We would of course love to have every single one of you there but that part would be bigger than Woodstock! So instead, we're giving everyone the chance to WIN one of 5 all expenses paid trips to Byron Bay to come join us*.

What You Could Win

Five lucky winners will each receive:

• Return flights from your nearest capital city airport to Byron Bay (Gold Coast or Ballina)
• 2 nights accommodation in Byron Bay (arriving 16 September, departing 18 September)
• A ticket to our 10th birthday celebration: a sunset cocktail party in the Byron Hinterland, 17 September, 4–8pm
• Return transport from Byron Bay to the venue and back

This is an intimate, curated event for around 100 guests with staff, friends of the brand, customers and five lucky competition winner. There will be speeches, a surprise or two, very good wine, and yes, hot chips & cake!

How We'll Choose

Our team will read every entry. We're looking for stories that are genuine, specific, and capture what "small steps" means to you personally. Winners will be selected at our discretion and notified by email by 26 August 2026 (we might even phone you!). The five best stories might just end up being read aloud in the hinterland on the night. Just saying.

A Note From Us

Ten years is a long time to run any small business, especially in sustainability, where the headwinds are real and the margins for error are slim. We're still here because of people like you: customers who chose us early, came back, and told their friends. This birthday belongs to all of us. We can't wait to celebrate with you.
