Grass

If you came to this page it is likely that you already know how totally powerful the juice of Wheat Grass is. All of the research we've seen indicates that every cereal grass is totally powerful - they vary in some minor ways - but not enough to claim any one is the best. So choose what you want and know that you are taking a food into your body which is as good as food gets! Since these are all so good, we think you should choose based on flavor - so you enjoy your Super Green Beverage as much as possible.

Many folks have been seduced by advertising, into thinking that Barley is the way to go. As we say - research we've seen does not indicate that - and frankly, the juice of Barley Grass is horrid! We will mix Barley with Wheat (4:1 wheat) as they grow at the same rate, but we have found no other way we can even tolerate Barley Grass juice. Wheat is the staple of course - it is sweet, inexpensive, easy to grow and high quality seed is readily available. We generally stick with Wheat ourselves, but you should feel free to try them all to see which you prefer.

There are few people who actually enjoy the flavor of Grass Juice, but we all drink it because we know how perfect it is - because we FEEL IT as soon as we drink it! If there is any way you can afford it, you should consider getting the Green Star juicer. You can juice almost everything with it which allows you to mix your juices - which makes your juice taste better - which makes it easier to drink - which means you can drink more (within reason mind you) - which means you will feel better. You can find the Green Star cheaper at other web sites, so if you're close - $ wise - look around - the important thing is that you have what you need to make Grass Juice a regular part of your life. There is nothing better!

HEY
Don't forget your pets - they like grass too, and there is nothing like fresh tender grass for your cat - especially if he doesn't go outside - and our's is non-puking!!!

Also - Grass makes for a unique, simple, elegant house, table or floral decoration.

THE SEEDS

Barley Grass

$4.84

per Lb.

Whole (hull on) Montana Barley or (on rare occasion) Hulless Barley

A broad blade grass with a lighter green color than Wheat, Barley Grass is consumed by many people in the form of a powder or capsule called Super Barley Green^®. The juice is a much more potent food - as are all living foods. The juice is quite intense - flavor wise, so we advise that you mix it with other grains on this page to come up with your tastiest juice. That is a completely subjective decision - some of you might love straight Barley Grass Juice - but around here we like to mix it into our Wheat at a rate of about 4:1 (20% Barley). The Grasses all provide about the same nutrition so mix and match freely.

Kat Grass

$5.55

per Lb.

Wheat, Oats, Rye, Barley, Flax

Grass for cats, salad for cats (and kittens, and a plethora of other creatures), whatever you call it - it is really amazing stuff!
Cats and other creatures need vegetable matter in their diet, just like people, and Kat Grass supplies that along with great nutrition. We even include a little Flax which is good for their coats.
Many of you know that your cats need this, because they eat your house plants - that is the surest sign that your cat will love this treat. Kat Grass is easily grown - on soil or a soilless medium - like Baby Blanket. All you do to serve your cat (etc.) is to place the container of living grass near their food dish or in some other place they'll find it.

Oat Grass

$6.35

per Lb.

Hulless, Raw Nebraska Oats

We have been getting the highest quality Oats available for many years, thanks to our farmer friends Mark and Ila. This year's crop is the finest we've seen in years!
These are raw - no heat has ever been applied to them. They are Hulless Oats (sometimes mistakenly called groats), they are grown (in the farmer's fields) without a Hull (they are one of only two Grains we know of, to have a Hulless variety).
Favored by many a cat and human, as well as countless other creatures; Oats are a wonderfully tender Grain which grows a Grass with a mild sweetness.

Rye Grass

$4.40

per Lb.

Out of stock

Rye produces a Red tinged blade of grass (more so when grown in cooler conditions). It has very much the same flavor as Wheat Grass.
It is so beautiful that we mix it with Wheat to produce Christmas Grass when the season calls for it. It looks great in Easter baskets too - as do all of our Grasses.

Spelt Grass

$5.85

per Lb.

This is one seed which we carry only occasionally as it is very hard to find good sprouting Spelt.
A great alternative for those allergic to Wheat. Similar to other grasses in sweetness and nutritional value.

The hulling process is, generally too much for Spelt. Too many of the grains end up broken, and so only the part of the seed with the germ still on even has a chance to sprout.
This isn't a big deal when it comes to sprouting, as the crop is harvested in just a couple days. But, since growing Grass requires so many days it just doesn't work unless the crop survived hulling well.
We only offer Spelt for Grass when it can grow Grass. This year's crop is by far the best we've seen in years. Grow your Spelt Grass while we have it.

Triticale Grass

$5.85

per Lb.

Triticale (Trit-i-Kay-lee) is a fairly new grain - created about 100 years ago.
A combination of wheat and rye (not a genetically modified organism - this was created using the old-time methods), it is similar in taste and like other grasses; it is very nutritious.
A good crop is not always easy to find, though we've had great seed for the past few years. We hope this trend continues, but whatever the case; we only offer Triticale for Grass when it will grow Grass well.

Wheat Grass

$3.45

per Lb.

Hard Winter Wheat

The classic power drink's source plant. Easy to grow and seriously rejuvinating when ingested. If everyone drank this stuff the average life expectancy would jump 10 years, this is greeeaat stuff! Wheat Grass Juice is has a very intense flavor. We've been drinking it since the 1970s and have found that we enjoy it more now than ever - since we got a Green Life (now improved by the mfg. and called Green Star) juicer we mix our grass juice with carrot and apple juice - it is delicious!

You need a special juicer to extract the nectar from this grass - it is well worth the effort! Look on our Juicer page for more info.

Grass
Kits & Samplers

Whether you are experienced or new to growing Grass, there is a kit for you.
You'll find many more Samplers and Kits in our Kits & Samplers section.

Grass Sampler

Single Harvest Packs of Wheat, Barley, Oats or Spelt, Triticale or Rye and Kat Grass.

A great way to experiment with grass - for juicing, aesthetics and pet pleasing.
Please note - we will substitute grains when needed. You can count on Wheat and Kat, but beyond that you may - once in a blue moon - be surprised by the other seeds, though they will always be the best grass seeds we have.

Wheat Grass Kit

5 pounds of Hard WinterWheat, A 2 Crop Tray Set, Vermiculite planting medium, Liquid Kelp Fertilizer, Growing Instructions

Grow Your Own Grass!
In your kitchen, with no soil and no mess.

The best (to our minds) and certainly the least expensive way to grow your own grass. This kit gives you what you need to grow 2 crops (each will yield 4-5 oz. of juice) of grass simultaneously and enough seed to plant up to 10 crops. We also really like our wonderful soilless planting medium; Vermiculite - it holds water better than anything we've ever used, it time-releases added fertilizer (like Kelp Fertilizer which is also included), contains nutrients AND is the best medium we know for 2nd cuttings!

Beginner's Grass and Greens Kit

Contents: One 8-Crop Tray Set, 8 pre-cut pieces of Baby Blanket (soilless planting medium), 8 ounces of Kelp Fertilizer this little bottle of concentrate makes up to 50 Gallons of fertilizer!), Plastic Spray Bottle, and 8 Single Harvest Packs of seed: Greens: Buckwheat Lettuce, Pea Shoots, Spicy Salad Greens, Sunflower Greens, Grasses: Barley, Kat, Oat and Wheat

Acres of Grass Kit

25 pounds of Hard Winter Wheat, 1 Quart Jar Sprouter w/ Screen Lid, Two 2-Crop Tray Sets, Baby Blanket planting medium (11 linear feet - more than enough to plant 25 lbs. of wheat), Kelp Fertilizer (liquid concentrate: makes up to 50 gallons), Spray Bottle and a Manual Healthy Juicer.

The best (in our opinion) and least expensive way to grow your own grass for juicing. Acres of Grass provides the home grower with the tray space needed to produce 4 crops of grass (yield = approx. 4-5 ounces of juice per crop) at a time, and the means to extract the super nutritious juice from your grass; our most popular juicer ever - Healthy Juicer.
Though we still like soil for growing grass, we also really like our soilless planting medium; Baby Blanket, and since soil is such a mess we've decided to upgrade this kit by including Baby Blanket, Kelp Fertilizer and a Spray Bottle. Now you'll get EVERYthing you need to grow and enjoy your own grass!

Winter Cat Grass Kit

5 lightweight plastic containers for planting/growing along with 5 solid bases to capture water (this is basically a house plant after all), 5 pounds of Kat Grass Seed, a 6 month supply (26 pre-cut pieces) of Baby Blanket planting medium, Liquid Kelp Fertilizer (concentrate: makes up to 50 gallons) and a Spray Bottle.

Kat Grass is a mix of Wheat, Rye, Barely, Oats and Flax

Keep your kitty (or other grass loving creature) supplied with fresh, nutritious, delicious, tender non-puking* Grass for up to 6 months. Saves your houseplants too! We include extra planting containers (they are about 4x4 inches by the way) in case any break - cats get pretty darned excited about grass =;-D

That your cats will not puke is not guaranteed. We only say non-puking because so many of our customers have told us how amazed they are that their cats do not puke it up. We had it on our Kat Grass sign when we were market vendors. Our farmers market customers always had a good chuckle over it.

Lil' Critter - Grass Kit

3 lightweight plastic containers for planting/growing along with 3 solid bases to capture water (this is basically a house plant after all), 2 pounds of Wheat Grass Seed, a 3 month supply (13 pre-cut pieces) of Baby Blanket planting medium.

Keep your Guinea Pigs, Gerbils, Hamsters, etc. supplied with fresh, nutritious, delicious, tender Grass for months. We added this kit in honor of Lori's brother Dan, who has long fed Wheat Grass to his much beloved lil' critters.
We include extra planting containers (they are about 4x4 inches by the way) in case any break.

Tray Set - One Crop

Our Single Crop Tray Set consists of three (one of each) 10x20 inch Trays:
Drip, Heavy Duty Planting, and a Cover Tray.

We offer these for growers who want the biggest planting area.
This Tray Set will grow 1-3 pounds of Greens or produce enough Grass to yield 10-20 ounces of Juice.

All of our Trays are intended for growing Greens, Grass, and Micro-Greens.
We grew everything in nursery trays when we were professional growers, but the current tray's drainage configuration (the holes or slits in the bottom) is undesirable sprout growing.

Tray Set - 2 Crop

Our Two-Crop Tray Set consists of:
One 10x20 inch Drip Tray and four 10x10 inch Trays - two for planting and two as Covers.

We offer these for growers who want to grow different crops, or stagger crops, while enjoying a large area to plant in.
This Tray Set's 10x20 total inches will grow 1-3 pounds of Greens or produce enough Grass to yield 10-20 ounces of Juice.

All of our Trays are intended for growing Greens, Grass, and Micro-Greens.

Trays - 5x5

This Tray has Drainage Slits. It is ideal for small crops of Greens, Grass, and Micro-Greens. We use it as both a Planting Tray and a Cover Tray. 8 of these 5x5 inch Trays fit into one 10x20 Drip Tray, giving you almost as much planting area as a full 10x20 Planting Tray - which can produce 1-3 pounds of Greens, or enough Grass to yield 10-20 ounces of Juice.

The narrow drainage slits in this Tray are perfect for any Growing Medium - and when used as a cover - for air-circulation.

All of our Trays are intended for growing Greens, Grass, and Micro-Greens.

We have several different Trays and Tray Sets to choose from.

Sprouting Devices
for Pre-Sprouting Grasss

Your Grass will grow much better if you sprout it before planting it. That's Pre-Sprouting.
Follow links for detailed information about each Sprouter....

Easy Sprout

Overwhelmingly our most popular sprouter, Easy Sprout is also our personal favorite.
We have well over a dozen in our house. It offers great drainage and the best air-circulation of any sprouter.

Easy Sprout is made up of a 1 Quart (litre) Growing Vessel, a Solid container/Base that catches excess Rinse water, a Small Seed Insert that snaps in when sprouting small seeds, two Growing Lids (1 for home (Domed) and 1 for the road (Flat)), and a Solid Lid for refrigerator storage of your sprout crop.

Easy Sprout is the best all-around sprouter. Period. It is the mandatory choice for high humidity sproutpeople everywhere and great for travel sprouting! Very versatile - Easy Sprout can sprout virtually any seed, anywhere!

Easy Sprout is part of many of our Kits.

SproutMaster 5x6

SproutMaster is the greatest tray sprouter ever!
It offers excellent drainage, and is the best sprouter on this globe, for growing vertical Leafy Sprouts. The SproutMaster is very versatile - it can sprout virtually any seed. It is even able to grow Grass, Greens and Micro-Greens - with proper care, and perhaps a growing medium.

We sell two configurations
1) Three trays that measure 5x6 inches each.
2) A Single tray that measures 8x10 inches.

SproutMaster trays (of the same dimension) are stackable - add trays to build your own sprout skyscraper.
SproutMasters are comprised of Growing Trays, each with a removable Divider - which allows you to grow 2 crops in one Tray, and interchangeable Lids and Bases.

This SproutMaster is the 3 Tray, 5x6 Stack. It comes with 3 Trays, 3 Dividers, and 4 Lids/Bases.
That is enough Lids/Bases for almost anything you want to grow.

SproutMaster 8x10

This SproutMaster is the single 8x10 inch Tray. It comes with 1 Tray, 1 Divider, and 2 Lids/Bases.
If you purchase multiple 8x10 trays, you'll end up with more of the Lids/Bases then you'll use regularly, but extras can be a good thing....

The least expensive, most basic sprouter, Jars - when topped by Screen Lids, are a fine choice for any skilled sprouter or for those willing to work a bit more diligently at rinsing and draining, or as an additional Sprouter, for easy sprouts, like Beans and Grains. A great choice for Pre-Sprouting Grass and Greens too!

Sproutpeople Stainless Steel 3-Screen Sprouting Lid Set

Made by Sproutpeople!

Fine mesh, Medium mesh and Coarse mesh.
Our 3-Screen Lid Set is made up of Stainless Steel Mesh - in 3 different mesh sizes (fine, medium and course) - each nestled in a heavy-duty Plastic Ring. Our Screen Lids fit Wide-Mouth Jar Mason Jars, like those we sell.

The wider the mesh - the more readily water and air pass through the screen. Use the fine mesh (the finest mesh size ever!) for small seeds (Leafy and Brassica sprouts), the medium mesh for Grains and small Beans and the coarse mesh for large Beans.
As your sprouts grow bigger, you can move to a bigger mesh size to improve air-circulation and facilitate the escape of hulls, thus making de-hulling easier.
