Daytrip: Dynamic Greens Wheatgrass Farm and Richters Herb Farm

Today me and Dean went to the Dynamic Greens Wheatgrass Farm in Stouffville about 30 minutes north from my house in Richmond Hill. It was so much fun! When we got there Tom Stem, the owner, gave us 4 cubes of wheatgrass each and dissolved it with a bit of hot water. It was soooo good. Wheatgrass if you don’t know is basically the young grass from the wheat berry seed. Our bodies can’t digest the fibers so we need to juice the grass in order to get all the health benefits of it. It is extremely nutrient and enzyme rich.

Often people who have serious health ailments turn to wheatgrass to boost their immune system and drastically improve their health. If you haven’t tried wheatgrass yet I highly recommend you get your hands on some. A note of caution though, most wheatgrass contains mold on it as it is not properly grown outdoors which will cause nausea or vomiting. Haha this happened to Lilac while we did a shot at Fresh on Spadina in Toronto, Canada. Not good. Even the wheatgrass I grew ended up having mold on it.

The frozen ones aren’t very good quality either even if they are grown outdoor as they can be brown from oxidation. This is why Dynamic Greens is such a great company because they have both air tight packaging and outdoor mold free organic wheatgrass. For $160 you get 200 cubes which is really really cheap. It’s about $3 a shot at a juicebar and it’s moldy! I highly recommend you buy the book Wheatgrass Nature’s Finest Medicine by Sproutman if you want a more in depth look at this amazing and cheap health product. We will definitely be going there again during the spring when the grass is actually growing. I’ll keep everyone posted!

After we left Dynamic Greens about 2 hours later, we went to Richter’s Herb Farm in Goodwood, Ontario. It’s sooooo cool there! There are hundreds of fresh organic herbs growing in huge greenhouses ranging from Mint for your Mojitos to the herb Stevia where the sweetener comes from to Lemongrass (pictured on the right).  Even though it was pretty nippy outside today, it was nice and humid inside the greenhouses.

I felt like I was in the tropics!  It gave me a wide variety of herbs to browse and look through to get ideas for my tea blends so that was really fun and useful. If you love fresh tisane herbs you have to go there, or even dried. Check out their website. I saw in their catalogue that they also have the camellia sinensis plant aka the plant that tea comes from – white, green, black, oolong, pu-erh. So I will definitely be going back to grab one next time I’m there. They also have a lot of free seminars on site! The next one is February 22 on Success with Seeding.

Oh yes I also finally decided on a company name! I registered the domain today, I’m going to register the company as a business tomorrow in Ontario/Canada etc. I’m so excited!
