This video is of our annual 2017 wheatgrass harvest.
Our specially designed harvesting machine harvests the wheatgrass without it ever touching the ground. The wheatgrass is stored in a sterilized container inside the harvesting machine.
The harvest occurs at a special stage of growth called the “jointing stage.” This stage lasts only a few days, only once each year, in the early spring. Scientists discovered that wheatgrass grown outdoors through the winter and harvested at this special time in the appropriate climate of Northeastern Kansas contains a higher nutritional level than any other dark green, leafy vegetable. That's why people depend on it to increase their daily intake of vegetable nutrition.
We still operate one of their laboratories the scientists used for the wheatgrass research by doctors and hospitals. That research inspired Ann Wigmore and other authors who wrote books about wheatgrass. In fact, this field is one they used to grow the wheatgrass for that research.
Unlike most of Kansas, which is too dry to grow wheatgrass and alfalfa without irrigation, Northeastern Kansas receives plenty of natural rainfall. Thus, Pines does not use irrigation. Unfortunately, through more than 80 years of irresponsible agricultural practices, the aquifer in drier parts of Kansas is severely contaminated with toxic chemicals. Yet, because of the dry climate, the wheatgrass and alfalfa they grow for the natural food marketplace must be irrigated.
By contrast, Pines is the ONLY #organic producer of #wheatgrass and #alfalfa powder in Kansas that does not use irrigation. We are also the ONLY Kansas grower for the natural food marketplace that is sincerely 100% organic. Other growers practice "dual farming." They grow pesticide-based animal feed most of the year. They see organic wheatgrass as a profitable sideline for their agribusiness factory farming enterprise.
All Pines products are #CertifiedOrganic, #NonGMOProjectVerified, #Kosher, #GlutenFree, #raw. Since we have never been a part of the confined animal meat industry, we are the only #vegan-friendly grower in Kansas.
