Nutrilite Farms - In Cooperation with Nature
               NUTRILITE™ is the only global vitamin and mineral brand to grow, harvest and process plants on their          own certified organic farms.          Wherever we grow the ingredients used in NUTRILITE products, the crops are grown in accordance with          nature.     
          -              We avoid the use of synthetic pesticides, herbicides, and              fertilizers.         
-              We replenish the soil, rather than depleting it.         
-              We use natural, environmentally-friendly methods to control              weeds, insects, and other harmful predators.         
 
                A requirement of all the farms supplying botanical materials adhere to the NUTRICERT™          farm certification program – ensuring that these farms adhere to our own organic farming          philosophy, guided by sustainable, organic principles. The main principles of the          NUTRICERT program include:     
              -              Crop and vegetation diversity, including vertical diversity              of herbs, trees, and bushes; and integration of animal husbandry, beneficial insects, and              microorganisms.
-              Healthy soil-building practices, such as the use of compost,              beneficial soil microorganisms, erosion control, and minimal use of mineral fertilizers.         
-              No soil or environmental contamination, such as using              genetically modified organisms. The idea is to use integrated pest management and protect              the farms from potential sources of contamination from neighboring farms.         
-              In-depth quality control standards, including proper              documentation of farm inputs, traceability of crop sources, written plans to avoid              contamination and control pests, and a quality assurance program for farm products              sold.         
-              Building a healthy social environment around the farm,              providing farm employees with the opportunity for personal development, including education              and training.         
         By owning and maintaining control over our own NUTRILITE farms, we can ensure that our          supplements contain only high quality ingredients.      
          Quality from the ground up.
      Nutrilite Farming Around the World
               Our organic farming operations are truly multinational, with over 6,400 acres in California ,Washington State,Mexico and Brazil.
Agricultural Research Farm - California - USA
               Nutrilite's Agricultural Research Farm in Lakeview, California, is the primary location where our         farm researchers work to improve existing NUTRILITE products          as well as identify nutrients and active ingredients for new products and the development          of organic farming practices.     
           
          -              45 hectares (111 acres)         
-              Located on a prehistoric lake bed, which accumulated              nutrient-rich sediment, contributing to the fertile topsoil.         
-              Primary crops: pomegranates, rosemary, and many test crops.         
         By feeding the soil with compost and by using carefully tested farming practices, Nutrilite          creates a better soil structure – supplying crops with a vast array of nutrients.
NUTRILITE farms: The Global Good Neighbor
           At our Agricultural Research Farm in Lakeview, local volunteers from the community help raise organic vegetables for their own use. In addition, the NUTRILITE Agricultural Research Farm organizes programs with local schools, bringing area students to the farm to grow crops as a school project each year.
Trout Lake Farm - Washington State - USA
               Trout Lake Farm is the largest certified organic herb farm in North America. Located in the          foothills of the Cascade Mountains, the farm's irrigation is provided by the White Salmon          River, fed by glaciers from the mountains.     
           
          -              283 hectares (700 acres)         
-              The Trout Lake valley where the farm is located is all              organic – there is no conventional farming in the valley and the surrounding mountains              help keep out pollution and contaminants.         
-              Primary crops: Echinacea purpurea, St. John's wort,              horseradish, white kidney beans, dandelions, Echinacea angustifolia,              Valerian, peppermint, nettles, and many others.         
         At Trout Lake Farm, the temperature, sunlight, and moisture levels change from year to          year at different altitudes in the valley, so the farm must be carefully managed to          ensure consistent yields of its many crops.
NUTRILITE farms: The Global Good Neighbor
                   The farm supports many local community projects, including the Trout Lake Fair, the          local youth association baseball league, the area arts council, and the local public          schools.
Rancho El Petacal - Jalisco - Mexico
       Rancho El Petacal, located in southwestern Mexico, has the ideal growing climate with plenty of sunshine and rainfall – the perfect conditions for growing nutrient-rich plants for existing NUTRILITE™ products, and for growing test plots for research. 
           
          -              All 566 hectares (1,400 acres) are certified 100% organic.         
-              The farm is a major source of jobs for the small community              of El Petacal.         
-              Primary crops: lemons, red grapefruit,              mandarin oranges, watercress, parsley, spinach,              garlic, alfalfa.         
         Our commitment to sustainability goes beyond the edge of the fields at Rancho El Petacal.          Our reforestation programs have helped increase biodiversity and maintain the natural          equilibrium of the area.
NUTRILITE farms: The Global Good Neighbor
                   The NUTRILITE farm at Rancho El Petacal runs a Cultural and Education Support Center          at the farm. Here we provide basic education on nutrition and ecology as well as help          with local projects, such as building a new church in the community.
Fazenda Nutriorganica - Ubajara - Brazil
               Fazenda Nutriorganica is the largest NUTRILITE™ farm. The farm produces acerola cherries          year-round. Over 300 head of cattle on the farm provide natural fertilizer for the crops.     
           
          -              All 1,660 hectares (4,100 acres) are certified 100% organic.         
-              Acerola cherries provide 100% of our need for the              natural ascorbic acid (Vitamin C) used in NUTRILITE products.         
-              Primary crops: Acerola cherries, coconuts,              passion fruit, guava, and cashews.         
-              Most plant pest and disease problems are solved              preventively by providing balanced organic nutrients to ensure strong, healthy              growth.
NUTRILITE farms: The Global Good Neighbor                   Fazenda Nutriorganica was formerly a desolate, undeveloped tract of land. It is now a beacon          of productive work, learning, and professional and personal development. A reforestation          project along the banks of the nearby Jaburu River, organized by Nutrilite, is now underway.          In addition, the Team Nutrilite program  supports two professional teenage athletes with          promising running careers.
