A natural alternative
ype 2 diabetes is at an all-time high in
children under 10-years-old. This
troubling fact is one that Jill Stichler,
owner of Redland Juice Company in
Lexington, is trying to remedy.
Working with scientists at the Robert M.
Kerr Food & Agricultural Products Center on
the campus of Oklahoma State University,
Stichler is in the beginning stages of creating
an all-natural juice pop for kids.
“The idea of producing a natural juice pop
stems from the fact that most schools are
trying to get rid of high fructose corn syrup
drinks,” Stichler said. “Our products would be
perfect for Oklahoma schools because they are
made from 100 percent juice, no added sugar
and no added water.”
Oklahoma Farm to School Program
coordinator Chris Kirby, whom Stichler
originally met at the OSU–Oklahoma City
farmer’s market, couldn’t agree more.
T
38 • Oklahoma Country • Spring 2009
“The juice pops are a perfect fit for the
farm to school program because they are
locally grown and processed, are healthy and
nutritious and taste really good,” Kirby said.
Kirby works with 62 schools districts in
Oklahoma, all of which she will encourage to
incorporate Stichler’s product.
“The juice pops are easy for the schools to
serve and provide a nutritious snack that the
students will like,” Kirby said.
Stichler’s 100-percent grape juice pop is
made from an equal blend of locally grown
Merlot and Concord grapes, and will be sold
under the brand KJ Vineyards.
“We originally wanted to use a juice boxtype packaging,” Stichler said. “But after two
years of searching for someone who could do
that, we gave up on the idea.”
It was at the 2008 FAPC Media Day that
Stichler’s partner Kathy Bates saw an
acceptable alternative. It was in the form of
another FAPC client’s product packaging:
Hottie Pickles.
“Kathy saw the pickle packets and said
‘Wow! Our product would be great in a
package like that!’” Stichler said. “And I said,
‘Of course! Great idea, Kathy!’”
Chuck Willoughby, FAPC business and
marketing relations manager, researched
possible packaging facilities, eventually
putting Stichler in contact with Bob Benjamin
of FasPac in Dallas.
“We really hoped we could find an Oklahoma company that could provide this type of
packaging; after all, the FAPC is here to help
grow Oklahoma’s food processing industry – to
add value to Oklahoma,” Willoughby said. “We
even examined filling pre-formed packages at
FAPC, but it turned out the only feasible
alternative was FasPac in Dallas.
“Having a healthful product like this
available to our Oklahoma children means
sometimes you have to go outside our state to
make the reality happen,” Willoughby said.
After meeting with Willoughby and Stichler,
The 100-percent grape juice pop, sold under the brand KJ
Vineyards, is made from an equal blend of locally grown
Merlot and Concord grapes.
Benjamin agreed to begin packaging the juice
to make individual 2-ounce packets.
In the first run, however, the packages used
proved to be too small, Stichler said.
“It’s my experience that every time you
start a new venture, you run into bumps in the
road,” Stichler said. “But we’ve always found
ways to modify our practices so they’ll work;
and in this case we just used a larger package.”
Once the juice was packaged, Stichler took
it to the FAPC to be submerged in a hot water
bath, a process that ensures shelf stability.
“It takes 35 to 40 hours to process 33,500
juice packets,” Stichler said. “This project has
been very time consuming and a little
expensive, but well worth it.”
In this first year of production, Redland
Juice Company will test market 134 cases, or
33,500 packets, of the kid-friendly juice pop in
Oklahoma schools.
Stichler said the 2-ounce juice pop
provides one fruit serving of the recommended
two to four per day.
“Our juices are good for kids,” Stichler said.
“It’s that simple.”
Redland Juice Company, which produced
the first commercial Oklahoma grape juice
made entirely from Oklahoma grapes, has
been selling its juices to gift shops and
gourmet food retailers, tourism shops,
wineries, health food stores, farmers’ markets
and grocery stores in Oklahoma and
surrounding states since 2003.
“If this new venture works out, we might
put the juice pops in retail outlets where
they’ll be available to all consumers, not just
school children,” Stichler said.

Cooking at home?
Don’t forget food safety
n the midst of a challenging economy,
many people are trying to stretch their
food dollars by doing more cooking at
home. While saving money is important,
practicing food safety is essential.
Food poisoning can have serious
consequences, especially for young children,
pregnant women, older adults and people who
are immune-compromised or chronically ill.
The Oklahoma Farm Bureau Safety
Services Department encourages home cooks
I
to remember these key concepts: proper
temperature control; cleanliness; thorough
cooking; safe storage; and separation of raw
and cooked foods to prevent crosscontamination.
“Harmful bacteria can grow rapidly
between 40 and 140 degrees Fahrenheit,” said
Justin Grego, Safety Services director.
Try to make food shopping the last errand
before going home. At the store, select frozen
and refrigerated foods just before going to the
register, and store them promptly when you
return home.
“Wash hands thoroughly, often and
immediately after working with raw foods,”
Grego recommended.
Sanitize all work surfaces and cutting
boards. Launder dish cloths, towels and pot
holders frequently and clean dishes, utensils
and can openers thoroughly. Soak sponges in
a mild bleach solution between uses, or use
paper towels.
“The main function of cooking is to kill
disease-causing microorganisms,” Grego said.
To do this job effectively, the internal temperature of the food must reach at least 150
degrees Fahrenheit for beef, at least 160 degrees
for ground meats and at least 165 for pork and
poultry. Reheat leftovers to at least 165.
“Avoid cross-contamination by keeping raw
and cooked foods and their juices separate at
all times. Never,” said Grego, “use the same
plate or utensil for cooked food that was used
to prepare or transport the raw product.
Keep the two-hour rule in mind when
serving a large meal, buffet or reception. Do
not leave perishables at room temperature for
more than two hours in cool weather or one
hour when it is warmer. After a party, discard
any food that remained at room temperature
for more than two hours.
Times are tough!
Protect what you have. . . .
it may have to last a while.

Plant pigments commonly found in colorful fruits and
vegetables appear to have a protective effect against bone
loss in older adults, according to a new study.
Federal tax credits return for efficiency
improvements to homes
he Department of Energy announced
that federal tax credits for energy
improvements to homes have been
revived for 2009.
The original tax credit expired at the end of
2007, but it was revived as part of the
Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of
2008, according to the DOE’s Energy
Efficiency and Renewable Energy News
(EERE News), a weekly electronic newsletter.
EERE News said federal tax credits are
available now for 10 percent of the cost of
insulation, storm doors and Energy Starqualified “cool roofs,” up to a limit of $500; 10
percent of the cost of exterior windows and
skylights, up to a limit of $200; for up to $300
on new high-efficiency air conditioners, heat
pumps, water heaters and corn-fueled stoves;
T
and for up to $150 on high-efficiency furnaces
and boilers.
The newsletter reports that those tax
credits expire at the end of this year, but
there’s also a tax credit for 30 percent of the
cost of Energy Star-qualified geothermal heat
pumps, up to a limit of $2,000, and that does
not expire until 2016.
The act reviving the tax credits also
extends a federal tax credit for 30 percent of
the cost of both residential and commercial
solar energy installations while eliminating a
$2,000 cap on the tax credit for residential
solar electric installations.
It also established a tax credit for 30 percent
of the cost of residential wind energy systems,
fuel cells and microturbines, and all of those
clean energy tax credits are good through 2016.
BOOK PRESENTATION
klahoma Farm Bureau President Mike Spradling displays the page where Jackson
County’s Matt and Kellie Muller are pictured in a new book about Farm Bureau. The
book, Forward Farm Bureau Ninety Year History of the American Farm Bureau
Federation, was authored by longtime American Farm Bureau employee Stewart
Truelson. Truelson autographed a copy for the Mullers, which Spradling presented during
an OFB board meeting. State Director Tom Buchanan, who also is from Jackson County,
is pictured on the left. The book chronicles the events, people and policies that have
transformed Farm Bureau from a simple movement led by farmers to the nation’s most
vital and respected farm and ranch association today. The Mullers were the 2006 winner
of the YF&R Achievement Award, and are pictured receiving the keys to their new Dodge
truck in a pictorial section immediately preceding chapter 20.

Nutrients support bone
health over time
indings from a new study suggest that
natural pigments found in plants may
help protect against bone loss in older
men and women.
Researchers funded by the Agricultural
Research Service (ARS) reported the findings
in a paper published by The American
Journal of Clinical Nutrition.
Other studies have consistently shown that
fruit and vegetable intake is good for bones.
Biological antioxidants in fruits and
vegetables, such as carotenoids, protect cells
and tissues from damage caused by naturally
occurring oxygen free radicals in the body.
Such plant nutrients may help protect the
skeleton by reducing oxidative stress and
thereby inhibiting bone breakdown or
resorption.
The study examined potential effects on
bone mineral density of overall and individual
intake of several carotenoid compounds,
including alpha-carotene, beta-carotene, betacryptoxanthin, lycopene and
lutein+zeaxanthin.
For the observational study, the researchers
tracked changes in bone mineral density at
two areas of the hip and lumbar spine of male
and female volunteers, aged 75 on average.
Among the volunteers, 213 men and 390
women were measured at the beginning of the
study and four years later.
Over the course of the four years of the
study, carotenoids were associated with some
level of protection against losses in bone
F
mineral density at the hip in men and at the
lumbar spine in women.
The results suggest there is a protective
effect of carotenoids, particularly lycopene,
against bone loss in older adults. The
researchers concluded that carotenoids may
explain, in part, the previously observed
protective effects of fruit and vegetable
consumption of bone mineral density.
for food. In 2008, the CFBEO received more
than 5,000 pounds of food through the Plant a
Row for the Hungry program.
Rebek said there is a lot of interest in
growing vegetables, and she is seeing even more
interest this year as seed sales are going up.
“For those of you who are new to gardening
or simply need some additional information, I
encourage you to contact your local OSU
Cooperative Extension office,” she said. “For
more than 30 years Oklahoma Gardening has
been helping people make the most of their
gardens. Now viewers are in a position where
they can help others,” Rebek said. “With all of
us working together it takes us a step closer to
fighting hunger and malnutrition in
Oklahoma.”
Oklahoma Gardening airs on local OETA
stations every Saturday at 11 a.m. and every
Sunday at 3:30 p.m.
Oklahoma Gardening
will ‘plant a row
for the hungry’
hen those zucchini and tomato
plants start producing, many
gardeners find themselves with an
abundance of vegetables. Gardeners who
choose to take part in the Plant a Row for the
Hungry can be assured the extra food will not
go to waste.
Kim Rebek, host of the popular television
program Oklahoma Gardening, said Plant a
Row for the Hungry is a people-helping-people
approach to addressing hunger and
malnutrition. The program was started in 1995
by the Garden Writers Association of America.
“This season on the show we are
encouraging gardeners to plant an extra row
of produce and donate their surplus to food
banks, soup kitchens and other service
organizations in their communities,” Rebek
said. “We have a new vegetable garden in our
studio garden where we will be growing
lettuce, spinach, tomatoes, zucchini, as well as
other produce. We will donate the extra food
to local food pantries in Stillwater.”
Rebek said she introduced the Plant a Row
for the Hungry during a show that aired March
14, but will be checking back on the program
throughout this season.
“We want viewers to let us know what they
are doing in their own communities and we
will share these updates on the show,” she
said. “We’ll also provide updates on how much
produce is donated from our own garden at
the Oklahoma Gardening studio.”
According to the Community Food Bank of
Eastern Oklahoma’s Web site, Oklahoma ranks
seventh in the nation at 13 percent in the
number of people who are food insecure. The
USDA defines food insecure as being hungry
at times during the year due to lack of money
