Whole Earth & Sea vitamins and supplements start with the best raw ingredients from Factors Farms®, a special place nestled in the Okanagan valley. The region’s unique microclimate allows our farmers to grow rare and potent heirloom species of plants. Large tracts of land that surround the growing fields are preserved as wild areas – a habitat and sanctuary for native plants and animal species. Between the fields are a number of ponds, teaming with life.
Whole Earth & Sea represents the finest of what Factors Farms has to offer. Our goal is to always go far beyond the minimum requirements of organic certification.
Our plants are always fresh harvested and not dried. The drying process often destroys many of the phytonutrients that a plant has to offer, so we simply don’t do it. Instead, we harvest our crops in the early morning, before the oxidative effects
What else is unique about our farm? We have a state-of-the-art extraction facility onsite. And because the extraction facility is located right on the farm, freshly harvested plants don’t need to spend months travelling to be processed while losing potency. Our crops are harvested fresh and processed raw on the same day, preserving top potency in each capsule. It is truly a difference that you can feel.
Beyond the farm, our ocean harvests are sustainably sourced and rigorously tested. In addition to testing for heavy metals and mercury, Whole Earth & Sea also tests for radiation – the unfortunate effects of which can last for up to 2,000 years and affect some migratory fish.
All Whole Earth & Sea products are tested by ISURA, Canada’s only independent, not-for-profit natural health supplement and food product verification and certification organization. While the industry standard is to test random batch numbers for quality, ISURA tests every single batch not just for pesticides, herbicides, and GMOs, but also for solvents, plasticizers, and other contaminants. Did you know that some certified organic products may still contain plasticizers, depending on how they are processed or transported? Not Whole Earth & Sea. Each and every Whole Earth & Sea product carries with it a promise of quality that no one can match.
They say we are what we eat. At Whole Earth & Sea, we have always believed this to be true. From our farm to your vitamin cabinet – we wish you only the best.
