Farm
LiquaDry’s
ambient temperature processing is not the only reason that
our grass and alfalfa juice powders are of
such high quality, the environment in which our crops grow
is also vital to the quality of our products. LiquaDry’s
certified organic farms are located within five miles of our
production facility, in the rich soils of an ancient sea bed
in Utah’s West Desert.
This remarkable farm ground has
runoff from a watershed of millions of acres of wilderness
in central Utah. This runoff
has been evaporating in our valley for many thousands of years,
depositing a rare abundance of trace minerals.
Planting and
harvesting schedule
In order to produce the highest quality grass juice powder,
a precise planting and harvesting schedule is critical.
The exact timing for when we harvest, is particularly critical.
The duration for optimal maturity and for peak nutritional
content, can be as little as four days.
To produce more than
200 metric tons, per year, of unsurpassed quality grass and
alfalfa juice powder, we need more than four
days. Therefore we stagger our planting schedule, and plant
new crops, every few days. This allows us to enter our grass
production season with crops of varying maturity.
LiquaDry’s
grass production season
The highest quality grass juice powder can only come from grass
that is grown and harvested in ideal weather conditions. Young
cereal grasses grow best in cold weather, but if it is too
cold the plant will freeze and not grow at all. The narrow
tolerance for weather conditions gives a harvest window of
about six weeks in the spring and fall. Our spring grass production
season begins in mid April and our fall grass production season
begins early October.
