KearceCrafted Forage Farm
Wild blueberries, beauty berries, and muscadine abound, and while crops are not cultivated, they are cleared and pruned annually to enhance production and make harvesting easier. In a forage environment clearing and pruning is all that is required for maintenance and nourishment.
“Don’t even water any of it,” said Florida Forestry Representative, Edward O’Daniels. “Anything like that upsets its natural balance. Those plants have adapted over decades and, in some cases, centuries, to be exactly where they are. Leave them alone except to prune and clear the brush from around them. “
The farm’s premier product is KSI (KearceCrafted SuperFood Infusion), a green powder made from superfood fruits and herbs foraged on the farm and sold as both a green infusion powder and as tea blends.
KSI Powder
"Whatever you're eating," says Tammy Kearce, "a pinch of KSI Green Powder will make it healthier by adding highly concentrated phytonutrients. It has no odor and doesn't change the taste."
KSI Powder is a proprietary blend of seven species of berries as well as other foraged crops seasonally available on the farm. With interest in green powders growing exponentially, foraged superfoods are at the leading edge of health and nutrition. Other green powders offer organic ingredients, but market research shows that KSI is the only one using exclusively foraged ingredients with no filler.
Foraged foods offer higher nutrient density and have significantly higher concentrations of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants compared to their cultivated counterparts. This includes vitamins A, C, K, and various B vitamins. Berries and herbs are especially rich in antioxidants, which help combat oxidative stress and lower the risk of chronic diseases.
Foraged plants and herbs have traditionally been used for medicinal purposes, and KSI continues that tradition by combining foraged superfoods in blends that supplement any diet and add concentrated phytonutrients to foods and drinks.
