​Sustainability​

Our Farms

Norwest Ingredients actively assists mint farmers in following regulations and practicing sustainable methods of production. We also provide new ways to improve their environmentally responsible platform, such as via use of hydropower and herbicides—often at a long-term cost savings. This interaction and support is well received by our farmers in a level that can only be attained through good and trusted relationships.
​
Most recently, Norwest Ingredients has shown mint farmers how they can convert their distill boilers from diesel to liquid propane or, where available, natural gas. The conversion from diesel fuel also has a significant benefit to the environment. Firing boilers with natural gas emits 28% less carbon than diesel, and propane emits 15% less. The distill boilers also emit significantly less airborne particulates when using natural or propane gas.

  • Reduce our carbon footprint by implementing streamlined processes from “in the door – out to customer”
  • Reuse drums and totes – clean, inspect, return to farm
  • Use renewable energy sources – Hydrogen, Nitrogen in lieu of Helium​
