12. UNIQUE NATURAL FARMING
PROCESSES
NUTRILITE® is the only global
vitamin and mineral brand to grow,
harvest and process plants on our
own certified organic farms. All our
farms—over 6400 acres in
California, Washington State,
Mexico and Brazil—replenish the
soil and avoid synthetic pesticides,
herbicides and fertilizers. They are
also global good neighbours
dedicated to giving back to the
community.

13. AGRICULTURAL RESEARCH FARM–CALIFORNIA,
USA
Our certified-organic Agricultural Research Farm in Lakeview,
California comprises 45 hectares (111 acres) on a prehistoric
lakebed, where accumulated nutrient-rich sediment
contributes to the fertile topsoil. It is the primary location
where our researchers investigate plant materials from
around the world to provide the highest nutritional value to
our products, and the source of new and improved organic
farming practices that are adopted by all Nutrilite farms.
By composting and using carefully tested farming practices,
Nutrilite creates a better soil structure, supplying crops with a
vast array of nutrients.
Primary crops: alfalfa, carrots, pomegranates and many
research crops.
Nutrilite farms: The Global Good Neighbor
At our Agricultural Research Farm in Lakeview, local
community volunteers help raise organic vegetables for their
own use. 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.

14. TROUT LAKE FARM – WASHINGTON STATE,
USA
Trout Lake Farm’s 283 hectares (700 acres) in the
foothills of the Cascade Mountains is the largest
certified organic herb farm in North America.
Irrigation is provided by the glacier-fed White Salmon
River, fed by glaciers from the mountains.
Trout Lake Valley, where the farm is located, is
exclusively organic—there’s no conventional farming
in the valley, and the surrounding mountains help
keep out pollution.

Echinacea angustifolia, oregano, peppermint, nettle,
valerian, white kidney bean, dandelion, lemon balm,
black cohosh.

Rancho El Petacal is a 566-hectare (1400 acres), certified-organic farm in southwestern Mexico. It has the
ideal growing climate with plenty of sunshine and rainfall –perfect for growing nutrient-rich plants for our
NUTRILITE® products, and for growing test plots for research. The farm is also a major source of jobs for
the local community.
Our reforestation programs in the area have helped increase biodiversity and maintain the region's
natural equilibrium.
Primary crops: spinach, kale, broccoli, watercress, parsley, grapefruit, orange, lemon, oregano, sage, and
asparagus.

16. FAZENDA NUTRIORGANICA, UBAJARA,
BRAZIL
Fazenda Nutriorganica is the largest Nutrilite farm. All
1660 hectares (4100 acres) are certified 100% organic.
Year-round, the farm produces acerola cherries, which
provide 100% of our need for the natural ascorbic acid
(Vitamin C) used in NUTRILITE products. Most
destructive pests and disease problems are prevented
by providing balanced organic nutrients, such as the
natural fertilizer from our 300 head of cattle on the
farm, ensuring strong, healthy growth.
Primary crops: acerola; picão preto, also called
Spanish needle, and passion Primary crops: acerola;
picão preto, also called Spanish needle, and passion
fruit.
Nutrilite farms: The Global Good Neighbor
Fazenda Nutriorganica was formerly a desolate,
undeveloped tract of land. It is now a beacon of
productive work and learning, as well as professional
and personal development. A reforestation project
along the banks of the nearby Jaburu River, organized
by Nutrilite, is now underway.

Our Research & Development team reads thousands of research papers every year to find the
best ingredients to include in our products. We conduct our own research, and report the
findings through published research manuscripts and at scientific conferences around the
globe.
We are the only global vitamin, mineral, dietary supplement company to grow, harvest and
process plants on our own certified organic farms. In 2004, we introduced a program to
formalize and enhance botanical quality control for ingredients grown outside the Nutrilite
farms. Our standards include a focus on sustainable farming practices, including organic
farming whenever possible. We insist on growing plants from seeds, using the part that offers
greatest nutritional content, and harvesting plants only when they reach their nutritional
peak.

MONTH
For vitamins, minerals, and botanical extracts,
we use multiple quality measures to ensure
only the best ingredients are included in
NUTRILITE products. Our stringent ingredient
specifications require certificates of analysis,
and we conduct our own analytical testing,
periodically auditing our ingredient suppliers to
ensure compliance.
Although not required, for all NUTRILITE dietary
supplements we choose to follow Good
Manufacturing Practices (GMPs) to ensure that
NUTRILITE products are safe, properly
identified, and of the highest quality. In fact,
over 15,000 quality tests are conducted every
single month to ensure a consistent, safe, and
