I continue to marvel at the innovation that takes place at our farms. To me, it’s a key reason why consumers trust the Nutrilite™ brand. Our farms are an impressive ecosystem that combines thousands of acres of fertile farmland with sustainable organic farming practices. It’s unlike any other in the world. That’s important, especially these days. Why? While others struggle with uncertain supply chains to find in-demand botanicals, we have the ability to leverage our vertical integration.

On the same day, the plant material is sent directly to the Nutrilite Botanical Concentrate Manufacturing facility in Quincy, Washington for fresh juicing and post-harvest processing for use in Nutrilite™ brand products. Using high-tech farming innovation, these experts ensure the organic plants grown for Nutrilite products are consistently high quality, yet cost competitive.

When the corporate office called, Darwin Hintz and his bride of three days were preparing for their honeymoon. Darwin is the Technology Manager for Trout Lake Farm and Nutrilite Global Agribusiness Operations. There was a need in Wuxi, China, for him to share and implement his expertise to bring the soil back to life. Could he go?
