Aronia tops antioxidant ORAC
value among fruits!

Antioxidant levels in foods are measured by a test called ORAC (Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity). Scientists have found that antioxidants increase our bodies natural defense systems. The higher the ORAC, the higher the antioxidant activity.

The Planting Crew

SilviosFarm is a working farm, growing grain crops on its 101 acres. Our crops include soy, corn, barley, and wheat, but in 2010, 8 Acres were set aside for our love of Aronia Berries. Aronia berries top the antioxidant charts having one of the highest ORAC (Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity) ratings among fruits and vegetables.

In early 2010 we decided to start our Aronia Farm and set out to import the Aronia plants for our fields. In late September 2010, a tractor-trailer load of tiny 2.5-inch Aronia plants arrived at our Farm.

Over 3 days, with a crew of 8, 8 acres of, these tiny 2.5 inch plants were hand planted and cared for naturally without pesticides, herbicides, or man-made fertilizers. Our only tools were a hoe, shovel, rake, wheelbarrow, and scythe. Our venture was a  labor of “love, peace, and joy.”
