Harvest Share Memberships – We invite you to join our Harvest Share Membership Program to receive weekly fresh produce (grown following USDA guidelines for organic growers), fruits, berries, baked goods made with pure, natural, and organic ingredients, sprouts, kombucha, meats, wild Alaskan salmon and other locally produced foods. A weekly email of available products will be sent to members who will choose what they would like for that week, with no commitment to buy. From mid-May through October, Harvest Shares can either be picked up at our farm or at one of our farmers’ markets in Boalsburg or at the Pleasant Valley Shopping Center in Altoona – we will make delivery arrangements for the off-season (November – April). If you are interested in becoming a Harvest Share member, please phone us at 814-632-8589, email us at edenvieworganics @aol.com or sign up under the MEMBERSHIP/ORDERS page on our website.

Wheat Grass-Wheatgrass Juice is one of the best sources of living chlorophyll available. In the American Journal of Surgery (1940), Benjamin Gruskin, M.D. recommends chlorophyll for its antiseptic benefits. The article suggests the following clinical uses for chlorophyll: to clear up foul smelling odors, neutralize strep infections, heal wounds, hasten skin grafting, cure chronic sinusitis, overcome chronic inner-ear inflammation and infection, reduce varicose veins and heal leg ulcers, eliminate impetigo and other scabby eruptions, heal rectal sores, successfully treat inflammation of the uterine cervix, get rid of parasitic vaginal infections, reduce typhoid fever, and cure advanced pyorrhea in many cases. Nature uses chlorophyll (wheatgrass) as a body cleanser, rebuilder, and neutralizer of toxins. We offer flats (10” x 20”) of wheat grass from September through May for $10.00 each.
