Sustainable Reasons for Supporting ChiBerry Tonics
- Support the American Farmer: Dr. Chang Naturals'
Schizandra
Berry is grown on Chang Farm in western Massachusetts. Schizandra
Berry is recognized by many as a SuperFruit. Many SuperFruits are imported
from other countries. While it may be good to support foreign countries,
we believe that the American farmer deserves your consumer commitment
and investment.
- Support Organic Farming: Dr. Chang Naturals' Chang
Farm is a Certified Organic farm. Part of our mission is to promote
organic farming and the health benefits of using Certified Organic food.
Our natural environment is a precious resource and must be preserved
in its natural state.
- Support Local Commerce: Dr. Chang Naturals tries to use local suppliers whenever possible, for a local economy must flourish. We must support local businesses in order to help our local communities. Local businesses grow through our continued effort to supporting them.
Dr. Chang Naturals grows the Schizandra Berry in what local people call "Happy Valley", more formally known as The Pioneer Valley of western Massachusetts. Dr. Chang Naturals Schizandra Berry fields produce the only Certified Organic Schizandra Berry of significant volume in the United States. We respect the land and honor our commitment to growing, harvesting, storing, processing, packaging and providing the finest Schizandra Berry-based dietary supplements available.
Dr. Chang Naturals Schizandra Berry fields have a small carbon footprint. Much of the Schizandra Berry field work is done with hand tools and 'sweat-of-the-brow' labor. Dr. Chang Naturals believes in honest toil of the soil and believes in the value of hard work in dedication to higher values like sustainability, peace and goodwill. Dr. Chang has been one of the leaders in Certified Organic growing of Chinese medicinal herbs in the United States. Dr. Chang has pioneered growing Schizandra Berry for over 25 years, using farming methods that at the beginning had not yet been widely called 'sustainable agriculture'.
Local Sustainability
People need to understand the effects of the choices they make. Decisions have consequences, and decisions to purchase locally sustainable agriculture are key to better health and nutrition. Locally-produced produce contain more nutrients and beneficial plant constituents to help the body repair and restore itself. Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) is a growing trend comprised of local growers who share their harvest with members and supporters. CSAs reflect the growing interest of people in learning about the foods they are eating and the benefits that the CSA-grown food brings. Most CSA farms are organic and some are certified organic which help people through reduced synthetic fertilizers, pesticides and herbicides.
Dr.
Chang Naturals is committed to local sustainable agriculture and community
supported agriculture. Dr. Chang Naturals supports the USDA National Organic
Program and its organic certification program. Dr. Chang Naturals believes
that by supporting Certified Organic farming people will improve global
sustainability, health and the vitality of all who live on planet earth.
To a growing number of people everywhere, vitality is much more than turning up the flame on our individual burners. It embraces every aspect of what we are buying and supporting with our 'food dollar votes'. 'Vitality' is a word that is both individual and collective. What each of us does affects a long chain of events and people.
Ingesting ChiBerry Tonic affects not only your wellbeing, but many people's
wellbeing. It is
a wonderful vitality tonic - and the result of many people's best intentions
- from the first people in ancient Manchuria who first discovered and ate
the little red Schizandra berries, to the many generations of Asian herbalists
who began to unlock it's medicinal treasure chest, to the Asian, Russian
and Eastern European scientists who verified what the herbalists saw and
then expanded on this to meet modern health needs, to Dr.
Chang who planted our Schizandra Berry fields in Whately, Massachusetts
and Dr. Chang Naturals who formulated these breakthrough ChiBerry Tonics;
and starting yet another important chapter in Schizandra Berry's remarkable
history.
So while Dr. Chang Naturals is definitely a "Homegrown Vitality" company, we are also the result of many people's contributions over the centuries. We encourage you to remember this aspect when you ingest ChiBerry Tonics because you are part of the whole experience. You are someone who can help change the way others think and what they support, while at the same time helping yourself attain a renewed level of health and vitality that all deserve.
