Question asked...

Question asked to us recently...

"Do you deliver outside the USA? For example - Europe - Ireland ??"


We do not ship fresh wheatgrass outside the US. Wheatgrass is perishable and needs to arrive from our greenhouse to your door in less than 24 hours. From our Vermont greenhouse we can use UPS ground delivery to ship overnight to all of Vermont, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and Connecticut, and parts of Maine and New York (not greater NY metropolitan area). In our experience packages do arrive overnight 97% of the time (except three weeks before December 25th ) If you live in this area the UPS ground delivery prices for wheatgrass and greens apply to you.
. If your shipping address is outside of New England and metroploitan New York, we use UPS Next Day Air. UPS shipping costs plus a $5.00 handling charge will be added to each invoice





Recent question...

Someone out there asked this recently...

"I grow my own wheatgrass at home, I am using an organic compost but was wondering, after having read an article, if its ok to use earthworm castings mixed with a little sand?"

Well, growing wheatgrass on any soil medium you have, is better than not growing wheatgrass. But I have never tried your particular ingredients (sand and worm castings). Try growing the wheatgrass and answering your own question by looking at the quality of your finished product. Does the wheatgrass grow green and lush and does it make thick juice. If the grass grows more yellow than green and makes a watery juice, then you should look for another kind of soil.
