Specialty Farms LLC

specialty farms mission is to help prevent cancer-the second leading cause of death in the u.s.-by providing produce that tastes good while reducing the free radicals that cause most cancers. this is being accomplished by a regular diet of our antioxidant-rich foods that create an “army” of antioxidants, ready to neutralize free radicals over a period of time. our focus on food that protects against cancer began in 1997 with our affiliation with brassica protection products, started by dr. paul talalay who is director of the laboratory for molecular pharmacology at johns hopkins. in 1992, dr. talalay along with johns hopkins plant physiology researcher dr. jed fahey discovered the health-promoting properties of sulforaphane glucosinolate (sgs), the cancer-fighting natural chemical found in the brassica (cruciferous) family of vegetables led by broccoli.
