"Whole food nutrition begins with sun, water, and fertile soil." - Dr. Royal Lee
 
  Quality Begins with a Healthy Harvest
The Kettle Moraine basin of Wisconsin contains rich black soil laden with minerals and nutrients. It is here, on company-owned, certified organic farmland, that we grow strong, vital plants that are used as the raw materials in our whole food supplements. We organically grow the following crops regularly:
  • Alfalfa
  • Beets
  • Spanish Black Radish
  • Brussels Sprouts
  • Buckwheat
  • Carrots
  • Kidney Beans
  • Pea Vine
  • Oats

Each year, we rotate the crops we grow and adjust the acreage for each crop based on the estimated needs of the main production facility.

 

Organic Farming Methods
Nature has provided the foundation, and we use organic farming practices to ensure that the quality of our farmland is maintained for years to come. In accordance with our certification, we follow strict organic guidelines to grow our crops, keeping detailed records of our farming practices. Our farmland is monitored annually by certifying agencies to ensure that only the highest quality farming practices are taking place.

Seeds
Most seed is planted directly in the field, but some plants get started in the greenhouse located at our facility before being transplanted into the field.

Irrigation
Irrigation water is supplied from a naturally occurring artesian flowage over five hundred feet below the farm's surface.

Weed Control
Organic weed control standards are strictly adhered to at the Standard Process Farm. The main methods of weed management include: cultivating, mowing, hand weeding, and cover crops - used for weed prevention and as a source of nitrogen and organic matter.

In addition, we utilize a crop flamer, a tool employed by the organic community to control weeds that come up between the crop rows before vegetables have a chance to canopy. New technology will allow us to continually improve our efforts of weed management.

 

Eco-sensitive Manufacturing
After the nutrients have been extracted from the raw materials, the majority of biodegradable by-products are returned to the fields in a monitored, land-spreading program. By doing this, we keep unnecessary wastes out of landfills and put natural nutrition back into the soil to be utilized by crops in the following years.

Isolated Farmland
Since our farm is surrounded on all sides by organic buffers, our crops are isolated from other non-agricultural land and chemical inputs from traditional farming practices. This has been key to our organic status and success.
