Wholefood Farmacy
http://holisticnutrition.wholefoodfarmacy.com
InJoy! Tena >From the Wholefood Farmacy: At the Wholefood Farmacy we're blazing our own trail and we have coined the term "ORGONIC" to identify our foods. Orgonic means there are no pesticides, fertilizers, insecticides, herbicides, or fungicides used in the growing of our product ingredients - they are residue and GMO free. We have chosen the word "Orgonic" to identify our foods. Orgon Means Life, Energy, or Shape. We like to say that our whole foods and whole food products are orgonic because they add to your life force. This has been our approach to date. We are currently working with a USDA approved certifying agency, and we are in the process of obtaining USDA Organic certification for our foods. All ingredients in all products are completely raw with the exception of our roasted corn products or products which contain the roasted corns. The products which are not completely raw a * Cornaborealis * Cornucopia * Corn of Plenty * Veggielicous spice Other than the four products mentioned above - everything is 100% raw. Our food products are dried in a process of lyophylization, in sublimated water vapor. This process involves drying in a low temperature AND low pressure environment. With this process, enzymes, nutrition, shape, and flavor are retained. Because lyophilization is the most complex and expensive form of drying, its use is usually restricted to delicate, heat-sensitive materials of high value. Lyophilization is a process which extracts the water from foods and other products so that the foods or products remain stable and are easier to store at room temperature (ambiant air temperature). Lyophilization is carried out using a simple principle of physics called sublimation. Sublimation is the transition of a substance from the solid to the vapour state, without first passing through an intermediate liquid phase. We start with the finest whole foods available which we obtain from vendors around the world who are able to supply whole food ingredients to our exacting specifications. At the point of harvest, each ingredient is carefully cleaned using high pressure water and gentle friction (scrubbing) to remove dirt and dust from the field. From there, the food ingredients are quarantined for 48 hours while the appropriate bacteriological culture tests are made. Once the ingredients pass that test, they are sent to our manufacturing facility in Rogersville, TN. Each whole food ingredient starts its Wholefood Farmacy journey by going through our receiving department where each ingredient is carefully inspected for cleanliness and freshness. From there, the foods make their way to our production dept. where they are handcrafted into the various foods that we offer, they are then hand packaged and taken to our shipping dept. to fill your orders. Our manufacturing facility is a fully licensed, approved, and certified USDA food manufacturing facility. Our manufacturing process meets or exceeds all safety requirements necessary for a UDSA licensed manufacturing facility. The USDA conducts regular inspections of our facility to ensure compliance on a regular and ongoing basis. |
