Why AIM Harvests the Outer Edges of Its Barley Fields

Most people never think about what happens before a nutritional product is harvested.

But growing practices can make a difference.

One unusual step used by The AIM Companies is called a perimeter purge.

Before harvesting the young barley grass used for BarleyLife, the outer edges of the barley fields are harvested separately and used as animal feed.

Why?

As an extra precaution against possible cross contamination from neighboring agricultural fields that may use pesticides or herbicides.

In other words, the outer perimeter acts as a protective buffer zone.

This process is part of AIM’s broader approach to harvesting and product quality.

The company also harvests barley grass at night to help protect delicate plant nutrients from heat and sunlight exposure.

Most consumers never see these behind-the-scenes farming practices.

But for some people, details like this matter when choosing nutritional products.
