The
Family Farm At Fall Harvest
We really connected with the raw food philosophy of 'body heal thyself' and believe that the best solutions come from the inside out rather than the outside in. Being keen observers over the years, we have watched people use wheatgrass juice for a wide variety of reasons and now, more than ever, believe that the nutrition in wheatgrass can help the body perform at an optimal level. We started making our own wheatgrass juice over 35 years ago because there was no commercial source available. You soon understand that keeping the juice available on a continual basis is a 365 day a year job. Initially, we grew with seeds, soil and trays in a small greenhouse. The grass grew well, but we struggled with soil changes and the growth of molds which dramatically changed the nature of the juice. Over time, we learned that wheat grass must be grown outdoors and have been doing so for many years. Wheatgrass juice is so difficult to make that even today, 35 years later, it is hardly commercially available. Even if you find it or try to grow it yourself, the quality is usually so poor that it makes it difficult to stick with it. We have solutions to these problems that work. Our interest in the juice has been unwavering over the years and so keen that we have custom designed equipment and re-invented processes. Today we produce outstanding wheatgrass juice and are pleased to make it available to you. |
What To Look For In Wheatgrass (Or Is It Wheat Grass?)
The terms "wheatgrass" and
"wheat grass" are interchangable. Technically,
the correct term is the two word expression
"wheat grass" which describes the young form of the wheat plant. In
popular culture, the single word "wheatgrass" has
evolved to describe wheat grown in trays
specifically for the purpose of juicing. So
"wheatgrass" is the term you want to use; however,
the advantages of growing outdoors are substantial
and your "wheatgrass juice" will be far better if it
is made from outdoor grown "wheat
grass".
Here are the characteristics to
pursue in order to achieve maximum benefits:
The Land, Our Methods And
Personal Wheatgrass History
Personal Wheatgrass History
- A strong, deep root system. When not limited by the bottom of growing trays, wheatgrass roots reach down 12" into the soil allowing the development of a nutrient rich plant.
- Time to mature properly. Outdoor wheatgrass is different as it takes 120 days to grow to harvesting height. Wheat grass grown indoors is hyper accelerated by hot temperatures and no cool nights. It grows to harvesting height in just 10% of the time (7-10 days) it takes outdoors.
- High chlorophyll content. Direct sunlight results in optimal chlorophyll content and many believe this is at the very heart of the benefits of wheatgrass juice.
- High phytonutrient content. These compounds form the immune system of the plant and give it color, flavor, smell and texture. They are dramatically higher in outdoor grown crops where the immune system is activated by variable conditions. You want this variability as phytonutrients are powerful antioxidants and provide your body with signicant protection.
- No simple sugars. Wheatgrass grown outdoors features no sugars and no carbohydrates.
- Crop rotation and fallowing feeds the land so the land can feed our crop.
- Deep discing of the land is used to bring fresh soil to the surface.
- Herbicide and pesticide free.
- Our frozen wheatgrass juice is pure nutrition and not denatured in any way.
- Greater bioavailability than pills and powders as juicing releases the nutrition otherwise held captive by indigestible fibers.
Indoor vs Outdoor Wheatgrass
"Fresh vs Flash Frozen"
"Fresh vs Flash Frozen"
- Mold can pose a big problem to indoor crops; and is solved by growing outdoors.
- We grow outdoors during nature's seasonal growing cycles and this enables us to create exceptionally clean juice with no detectable molds.
- No detectable molds means that our wheatgrass juice tastes good. Similar to green tea or watermelon rind, our frozen wheatgrass juice is a pleasure to drink.
- No detectable molds means no adverse reactions, which are commonly reported by customers at their local juice bars.
- No detectable molds means you can consume large amounts over long periods of time if needed.
- We have custom engineered farm equipment that allows us to harvest when the wheatgrass is at the perfect height of 7"-11" without bruising the grass.
- Our remarkable flash freezing process keeps even sensitive organic elements like vitamins and enzymes alive.
- Our packaging prevents oxidation (browning) and enables easy portioning so you can take any amount you want.
- Overnight shipping is included in our prices, they are no extra shipping fees or taxes
- You choose the day it arrives so you can actually place your order whenever you want.
- Delivery date selection is done on the ordering page
and you can even order into the future. We only charge
your credit card the day your wheatgrass juice ships.

Observations
Associated With Indoor Grown Wheatgrass Juice
Your body is reacting to toxic substances commonly found in wheatgrass grown indoors and within greenhouse environments. It is well known to growers and kit sellers that wheatgrass grown in these closed systems quickly becomes contaminated with molds. In the book, "Wheatgrass - Nature's Finest Medicine" by Steve Meyerowitz, molds are discussed on pages 93-94, 98, 113, 115, 158-161, 163-173, 175-176, 197, 202, 210 and 217. Scrubbing and washing the grass removes some of the contaminates, but in most cases, you are ingesting mycelial growth (slime mold); specifically the phytopathogens Rhizopus sp. and Pythium sp. Growers try to wash the molds off, use fungicides, use hydrogen peroxide or just try to cut above it. Unfortunately, none of these techniques is effective as it grows right into the grass and it remains tainted. How To Spot Mold This is a public service to those that choose to grow. Wheatgrass is not a staple of our diet today because molds sour too many user experiences. The problem with detecting molds is that they are very fine and you can't see them. Here is how to see them to help avoid negative experiences. Use your digital camera to take a picture of the lower portion of the plant and most importantly, force the flash on. The flash will light up the mold as shown in the example below: |
Why Our Juice
Does Not Have Mold Issues We grow in a natural environment in which mother nature in her infinite wisdom has processes which prevent the molds from taking hold. This is a combination of sun, air, lower density planting, frost cycles, winter and planned fallowing of the land. Our juice isn't just better, it is in a league of its own. It always tastes light, a little sweet and is very well tolerated by both your taste buds and your body. For the record, we did grow in a greenhouse at one time and switched to outdoor growth due to the same mold problems found in closed system growing operations today. |
