Reviews for: Foothill Organic Growers

I met Jack and I bought my first wheatgrass juicer ( it still works great!) 14 years ago and it has saved my life! I love wheatgrass. It is natures best medicine. It is simply amazing stuff and I am so grateful to Jack for sharing his love for it with me so many years ago, it has been healing and nourishing me for a long time now. Thank you Jack

I am a former employee of the farm and I have known Jack for 2 years. He was always pleasant and only wants to help people live a longer, healthier life. Jack has employees that have been with him for more than 12 years. He is one of the best employers I have had. I have seen go above and beyond to make sure that his customers are completely satisfied with their purchases. He always does his best to make people happy and is genuinely interested in both his employees and customers. He is honest with the people who come to him looking to convert to a healthier lifestyle and eager to teach people about the benefits of organic produce. A very direct man, so don't expect sugar coating, but he will help you to change your life. He is an old guy who lives what he preaches and I only hope to have the long life he seems to be enjoying. I highly recommend that anyone with reservations stops by to see what Organic Jack is all about.

We paid Jack, the owner of Foothill Organic Growers, $200 for a series of produce deliveries. We were led to believe that we would be able to select what we wanted in the deliveries and that all produce would be ripe, organic, and locally grown. All I can say is: WHAT A FARCE! Our deliveries never conformed to what we had ordered. One of our deliveries included supermarket-grade carrots packaged in plastic under the Bunny-Luv label. Nectarines, persimmons, and other fruit items were delivered unripened and hard as rocks. Many items were old, damaged, and even moldy, including a bell pepper that arrived with a large gash in the side and discoloration already setting in.

After two deliveries we said "no mas." We asked for a refund of the unused portion of our $200 payment -- and we haven't received a single penny of it. Our advice is to avoid this scam like the plague.

I recently met Jack when I was invited to visit his organic growing operation after stopping by his booth at the Gold Country Fair.

I was completely charmed by his passion for organic produce and his depth of knowledge about nutrition and the health problems associated with most Americans eating habits. The information he shared with me about wheatgrass convinced me I wanted to change my eating and adopt a healthier menu.

The timing of my visit couldn't have been better! My mother-in-law, Liz had recently been diagnosed with terminal stage 4 Angiosarcoma. Her doctors had given her no hope and seemed perfectly satisfied to supervise her downward decline.

I brought Liz to visit Jack and she now has new hope. She has begun her recovery with the help of wheatgrass juice and better eating with organic produce delivered to her door by Foothill Organic Growers.

Thank you, Jack. The way you cared for us and our heath was nothing short of amazing. We know we can call any time to ask nutrition questions and get great answers. Your produce comes with a guarantee of satisfaction which is wonderful! You're a very special, extremely caring person and the world is a far better place because of your efforts! Thank you so much for being there for us!

I just recovered from Melanoma IV Cancer thanks to Organic Jack. Two years ago he convinced me to take this live food to help boost my Immune System. It worked! Jack is a dependable, caring, good business man who is service oriented, and is dedicated to helping us all stay healthy. Anyone who would attack Jack in any way had better have their facts accurate, or I will personally meet them in Court. False allegations against a reputable businessman is a defamation of character allegation, punishable with prison if one is found guilty. THANKS AGAIN JACK. KEEP ON TRUCKIN!

I've been a customer for the past year or so and I have really enjoyed receiving personalized organic produce on my doorstep. The produce is delicious...a very different taste than store bought. I order what I want before each delivery & they stick to my order almost always adding alittle more of something else. I've been very impressed with Jack's generosity & his strong desire to help his customers become healthy. He makes me feel like I'm a special customer & I'm sure each of us probably feel that way. He always tries to get us what we want. It's difficult to get quality organic produce to customers in a timely manner...freshly...& I for one think Jack & his helpers have succeeded in doing that!

I have been a customer of Jack's since May, 2008. If you are looking for a "design your own" box of organic food in Placer County, California, look no further! Jack has the only "design your own" harvest box subscription service that I know of. Jack's passion is for organic food and wheatgrass; and you have only to talk to him to determine that for yourself. Call him! Jack tells it the way it is, he doesn't give lip service to anything he doesn't believe in! If you have a health problem, call Jack, as he is a wealth of information. He can cite dates, people, and sources of information with amazing recall! His focus is on helping YOU by providing knowledge and information, organic food, and wheatgrass if you want it. Jack is a small business, yet just like the big grocery stores, he ALWAYS will "comp" you for any item that you were unhappy with, or give you another one at N/C with the next box. You have but to ask. Many large stores won't do that! His record keeping is amazing, as he can, even years later, calculate your account and where you stand with amazing accuracy! He has always fulfilled his promises to me, and then some! I would recommend Jack if you are looking for organic food, and also if you are looking for sources of information and references regarding most health issues. Jack's filing cabinets are FULL of copies of articles, etc., about everything you can think of, and he freely shares this. Let him know what you have questions about, and I'll bet he has a file on that!

I just wanted to take the time to thank you Jack for all the wonderful organic produce you grow. I appreciate the work that you're doing in educating us & keeping us full of great organic fruits and veggies. Please keep doing your good work. Keeping us healthy & educating our future generations

I have been buying and using organic produce from Jack at Foothill Organic Growers for 4 months. The food is always fresh and has more flavor than that at the grocery store. Not only is it fresher and more flavorful it has more nutrients and none of the chemicals that are used to make the food last longer and look prettier at the stores.

I really enjoy going to Jack's farm to pick up our food. He always has knowledge to share and is truly concerned about his customers and their well being. I am currently in a wheel chair due to Arthritis and doing wheatgrass juice and using organic produce which will allow me to be up and walking soon and free of the toxins from store produce and pharmacy drugs.

With out Jack's advice, knowledge and organic produce I would be destined for a life in a wheelchair at a young age. Thank You Jack for being you and caring about me and other customers.

I have been eating organic produce for many years and have found that Foothill Organic Growers has the largest variety of produce in the local area. The produce is not all local, but it is all organic. Such items as banana, pineapple and mango are not grown in the local area. I like that I can eat these items organically. You can ask for just local organic produce. I find the produce is fresher then the local stores because he distributes the food faster. Customize your produce selection. Always literature on health and produce. Delivers produce all year round. Delivery is close to your home or at your doorstep. The owner, Jack is very passionate about organic produce for better health. From a business point of view his biggest downfall is that he gives too much food away. You always get more then you purchased. That is good for the families, but not good for business. I highly recommend Foothill Organic Growers for organic produce and wheatgrass!

Dear Jack,

Thank you for the wonderful years of organic produce. Every delivery my family is excited to see what's in your produce box. I know that my family is healthier because of the care you take in growing and providing my family with the freshest, tastiest and nutritious nontoxic veges and fruit. The recipes are delicious and have opened up new food tastes to my family. They are healthier. I appreciate the few time you have given my food when I could not afford it. Looking forward to many more years of eating your wonderful produce.

This is Eric Barber. i just want to frist thank you for your time and knowledge you shared with us. I have given this a lot of thought and unfortunatley at this time I can not afford to do the vegitable deliveries. As much as it pains me to do this, financially I can not do it. We love your farm and you are a fantastic person. As finances free up we will come back to you. Jack from the bottom of my heart thank you for everything.

Hi. My name is Judy, I am 61 years old and I am writing this letter as a testimonial for Organic Jack.

In 2000 I was diagnosed with breast cancer. I had a lumpectomy, did many months of chemotherapy and radiation. During this time, I was so sick, I didn�t care if I lived or died. After recovering from the chemotherapy and radiation treatments, my surgeon and oncologist (UCSF) said that if I survived 5 years, I would most likely remain cancer free. For the next 8 years, I continued to have my regular checkups and mammograms. November 2008 (almost 2 years ago) I injured my back and went to see a chiropractor. After a couple of weeks with no relief, I went for an MRI. To my horror, my breast cancer had returned and had metastasized to my bones, brain, lymph nodes and lungs. My body was a mess. How could this happen? I was not ready to leave my family. My oncologist told me to get my affairs in order. She never even suggested Chemotherapy, so I knew I was in big trouble. I have a cousin who was diagnosed with 4th stage breast cancer and was placed on Hospice after years of unsuccessful treatments. She has been completely cancer free now for over 4 years. I immediately called her and asked, �What do I do?� She told me to go to the �Bio-Medical Center� in Tijuana Mexico. We spoke about her treatment in Mexico and what it entailed. In addition to the herbal tonic, a large part of the treatment included changing my diet to all organic, raw foods. Days after our conversation, I went to the Bio-Medical Center in Tijuana and listened to what they had to say (what did I have to lose?) I started the treatment and was instructed by my physicians there to change my diet to an all organic, raw diet.

A few months before, my daughter had met Jack at the fair and told me how passionate he was about organic food and wheatgrass. We knew that he was someone we should contact. We met Jack and I told him my story. He insisted that I start on wheat grass along with his organic food. He had lots of information on the health benefits of wheat grass and an organic diet. I started ordering all of my produce and wheat grass through Jack. I must admit, I DO NOT like the taste of wheatgrass, but with apple juice it is not bad. I started doubling up on wheatgrass, eating organic, raw foods and was also drinking my tonic from Mexico. Within 3months of doing this, my cancer had improved. It felt great! It gave me hope! Since then, I have continued to receive CT scans and bone scans every 6 months. My cancer has shown improvement with each test. My last CT scan just revealed that I know longer have the cancer in my lungs. Since improving, my oncologist now wants me to do chemotherapy. It has taken me 21 months to improve my immune system and I do not plan on destroying it with chemotherapy. I feel great!

I KNOW with the wheatgrass, organic foods and the Hoxsey tonic my body is healing itself. Not because of chemotherapy or radiation!
