Dear Brothers and Sisters,
Last week we went out into the Central Valley. It was alive with almond blossoms. The blossoms have returned bringing with them the hope of rebirth and renewal. We visited with our almond growers and present a video for you edification:-

Almond blossoms
Meet the Men Who Grow Your Almonds

Our newsletter this week is alive with videos! We also present a video of David Wolfe visiting with the people in Bali who produce our cacao powder and cacao butter and a video by Dave Klein, editor of the journal Vibrance, showing pumpkin seed milk being made from Living Tree Austrian pumpkin seeds that have been sprouted. So please scroll down!

We are also alive with new products. There's our revolutionary new Chia Seed Butter. There's nothing comparable! A nutritional powerhouse, high in omega-3's. Our Double Dipped Chocolate Figs, with a Brazilnut core, are also unique. Then there are a variety of mushrooms. The Wild Forest Mix features four different types and the Porcini Mushrooms are always popular.

We are also doing an Essay contest this month. Here's your chance to take a draught of that cacao smoothie and share your thoughts on what a programme of true health and healing would look like. In place of "healthcare" let there be a programme that affirms bubbling, streaming life!

New This Month

New! Alive, Organic Chia Seed Butter

The Native Americans of the Southwest would eat only chia seed mixed with water as they ran from the Colorado River to the Pacific Ocean to trade products. Its high energy to weight ratio makes it a favorite choice of long distance runners and other athlete.

Chia seeds are the richest whole food source of Omega 3 fatty acids and fiber found in nature. Every serving (12 grams or approximately 2 flat tablespoons) of chia provides over 2.7 g of Omega 3s, 4.1 g of dietary fiber, with less than 0.5 net carbohydrates per serving.

A nutritional powerhouse, including being a great source of calcium, iron, Omega-3 fatty acids, and dietary fiber.  We've added sesame seeds, our delicious Living Tree Black Sesame Oil, honey and salt to heighten the flavor and maintain its aliveness.


New! Double Dipped Chocolate Figs

We start with a Brazilnut and surround it with a penumbra composed of Black Mission Figs spiced with cinnamon, cloves and vanilla. We cover with unsweetened chocolate, then we add raw cacao nibs and cover with a second layer of sweetened chocolate. There are 3-5 per pack.

We hand-craft these alive double dipped chocolate figs in Berkeley, California. It is a wellspring of the human spirit. It has a rich tradition of Americans who have dared to stand up and speak their truth. It is a center of original and creative thinking, over 21 Nobel Price winners have taught here.


New! Wild Forest Mix - Organic and Wildcrafted

This is a delightful mix of 4 different mushrooms native to wild forests around the world. You'll fall in love with the nutty, earthy flavor of these certified organic dried gourmet mushrooms. The Wild Forest Mix includes... Black Trumpet, Porcini, Chanterelles and Morel.


New! Porcini - Organic and Wildcrafted

One of the most popular mushrooms, prized for its nutty flavor and aroma, the Porcini adds an earthy, nutty flavor to sauces, stuffings and stews. This mushroom is harvested from the coasts and mountains in the Pacific Northwest. You can puree to make an instant silky sauce! great for holiday meals or everydy!

Ursula Breaks World Record

Ursula Grobler broke the indoor rowing record on January 30th.

Ursula GroblerLiving Tree Alive Organic Almond Butter is my stable diet. I use it in my protein smoothies, or with fruit, as a dessert. There are no preservatives; it tastes fresh, clean and alive! Braving the elements daily, I feel the energy from the Almond Butter keeps me going, and even helps keep me warm!
I train for about 4 to 6 hours a day. Rowing is classed as a power endurance sport, so you need the strength of a sprinter, but the endurance of a marathon runner. You need to touch a little of everything, and keeping my nerves fresh to react to the intense technical aspects also means I need to be on top of what I eat. I'm training hard everyday because I have a dream to get to the London Olympic Games in 2012 representing the USA. And I know with the right support, like I'm getting from Living Tree, I'm able to go for gold!
Thank you Jesse and all the family of the Living Tree for caring about us!
Yours Sincerely

Ursula Grobler
