We do not use machinery to harvest our crops. All crops are harvested by hand so that no oils, fuels, fumes, etc. are introduced to the herb.
Overview - The common garden beet is a plant we all know and some of us love for the deep red tuber greens that taste similar to spinach. The cultivation of beets dates all the way back to the 8th century B.C. in the Mediterranean and has hybridized for different growth characteristics. Different kinds of Chard are related to beets, grown for their leaves as well as the Sugar Beet, which began being cultivated commercially in Germany in the 18th century when it was discovered that it had a very high sucrose content and was a great source for table sugar. All the various cultures that have ever cultivated beets prized them for their nutritive and medicinal properties. In Eastern Europe Beet Soup is very common and the author was raised on a delicious one made by his Polish Grandmother!
You may ask...How many beets does it take to make 1 lb of Beet Root Powder? It takes approximately 70 3-4 inch beets, cleaned, cut and dried.

If you are a skeptic then let me put your mind to ease. We live in Seattle and made the trek to Mt. Rainier and wanted to see if we could stop by and visit the Maus. All I can say is WOW! This farm is something else. We took a little tour and Patricia took us around and showed us the fields and the medicinal learning garden she has. AMAZING! What an experience, we learned so much about herbs that grown right here in Washington! We were taken through the processing of beet root from harvest to the drying stage. It is amazing what this little farm is doing. This is pure powder and when it is drying the aroma is unbelievable. Patricia took a little of what was dried earlier and showed us how it is made into powder form and we got to sample and purchase FRESH BEET ROOT POWDER!

This beet root powder is amazing. I compared it to a brand that I use to get that came from China and I have to say that this is a million times better. It is so powdery, a couple of small clumps, but thats because they use no fillers. The color is so dark maroon and smells so fresh. The taste is superb and rich!

I started taking MMR’s Beet Root Beta Vulgaris on the advice of my naturopath and after doing research on gall bladder issues. I searched for many days and came across this website and I believe it was meant to be. This beet root is so fresh and smells amazing. My mother and sisters have had their gall bladder removed so I am taking it as a preventive measure - so far so good! I have been taking Beet Root Beta Vulgaris for a couple of years and will increase the amount I take if I ever start having problems. I love that this is cultivated right here in the USA - their prices are excellent they carry things others dont and the website is extremely user friendly. Ordering is quick and easy.

These are by far the best beet root powder I have purchased. The aroma is amazing and the color is very vibrant. The fact that it is USA grown organically without soil additives and is pesticide free is amazing! The price is amazing!

Am very happy with the ordering and delivery process of Mountain Maus. The beet root powder is delicious compared to what I've ordered from Amazon. Thrilled to be able to support and purchase from a family farm in the USA where I can have confidence that their products will come to me pure and unadulterated; unlike my zero confidence in China, India, etc.

This is an excellent product. Have purchased from other vendors before, but I find the quality is superior to others. The shipping is fast, packaging is great.
I would give it 10 stars if it was possible.

Very fine powder. Tastes like beets . Other powders I have tried did not taste like beets and had a shiny crystallized look to it . Thank you for a great product and value .

Comparing this to what they sell on TV in a little jar for $35 bucks, this is not only great quality and in my opinion a better product, the price is pennies comparative.
