Established in 1976, Pines’ mission is to increase organic farming and grow naturally concentrated dark green, leafy vegetables. In those 45 years, our company and foundation have added more than 2,000 acres to the USDA Certified Organic program.

We also support moving away from using fossil fuel for energy and one-use plastic containers. Products from our farm have always been packaged in oxygen-free glass bottles since 1932. That kind of packaging prevents nutrient and color loss caused by the use of plastic containers.

Our educational foundation is a major contributor to more than a dozen environmental organizations, including our being the largest contributor to a permanent endowment that in perpetuity is providing a salary for a water-keeper and lobbyist to protect our Kansas River.

We grow all our crops with natural rainfall and never use irrigation from potentially contaminated groundwater. We have been activists in protecting what remains of the fossil water of the Ogallala Aquifer in the Western part of our State.

That once-pristine water has been wasted and contaminated growing GMO corn for poor quality ethanol fuel that costs more to produce than the selling price except for subsidies. We, taxpayers, are wasting money sacrificing and contaminating the limited ancient groundwater of the aquifer to grow GMO corn for ethanol that sells for less than it costs to produce.

We have stood for sustainable agricultural practices for all our 45 years. We are encouraged to see more farmers going organic but are also discouraged to see the lack of respect factory farming has for our soils and natural resources.

We hope Earth Day 2021 will inspire more farmers to move toward more sustainable practices. Learn more about Pines at www.wheatgrass.com

We enjoyed a beautiful sunset last week at Pines’ farm pond. Early in the last century, before public swimming pools, this pond was a busy place in the summer. It even had a diving board. Our farm grew the first wheatgrass for humans in 1932 and supplied doctors with wholefood dried powder for the research that inspired Ann Wigmore and other authors.

For more than 20 years, the farm supplied the ingredients for Cerophyl, the world's first multi-vitamin. Cerophyl was composed of cereal grasses grown on the farm. It took 20 tablets for the minimum daily requirement. When one-pill-a-day vitamins came on the market in the 1950s, sales of this very popular product declined.

Pines International brought Cerophyl back in 1976 as Pines Wheat Grass. Rather than calling it a multi-vitamin, this replacement product is sold as a concentrated source of green vegetable nutrition. We are proud that our farm still grows wheatgrass for human food and that we are supporting traditions on our farm that date back nearly 100 years.

We were concerned that the polar vortex, which brought temperatures as low as -22, would damage our wheatgrass. After some rain and somewhat warmer weather, the wheatgrass survived and is now three inches tall. Wheatgrass is planted in the fall so that the roots can go down a foot or more in our rich, dark glacial soil. The cool fall nighttime temperatures result in one-inch leaves that carry it through most of the winter. The deep roots and short shoots are natural to wheatgrass in the winter. The roots are active all winter, developing nutrients necessary for spring growth. The nutritional peak lasts only a few days in the early spring. It is about seven inches tall with four times more chlorophyll than when wheatgrass is grown quickly and unnaturally in warm, crowded conditions. Wheatgrass for human consumption was first planted on our farm in the fall of 1931 and was harvested as wholefood powder in the spring of 1932. It was used for the phenomenal body of medical research praised by Ann Wigmore. Learn more at wheatgrass.com 📷

Spinach salad is good, and good for you, but if we’re being honest, most of us can’t always find time for the recommended amount of leafy greens every day. That’s where we come in – 1¼ teaspoons of Pines Wheat Grass is equivalent to one serving of spinach.
