Bring your vision out of the kitchen!
We urge you to get together with neighbors and friends and start a food coop or buying club. Combine your purchasing power! Buy in bulk! You'll save considerably, both on the cost of goods and on shipping. We'd be delighted to offer you wholesale prices. Contact us to request that we email to you our Coop and Buying Club literature. What wonderful discoveries you'll make! That stay-at-home mom would make an excellent manager. That retired gentleman across the way, a former accountant, would be a great bookkeeper! Put up a sign in the laundromat and see what sort of response you get!
Maybe this will lead you to a further discovery- that the true "superfoods", "miracle foods" and "magic foods" are the parsley,lettuce,celery,spinach and chard,that you've grown with neighbors and friends in a community garden. Corporate Almond wants you to remain a "consumer" whose existence is defined solely by your purchasing power. We suggest that you hug your neighbor instead.
What's on the World Mind-The sterilization of just about everything
The Food Irradiation Plot: Why the USDA Wants to Sterilize Fresh Produce and Turn Live Foods into Dead Foods by Mike Adams
In this prescient essay Mike Adams predicts:-
If the irradiation of fresh produce goes into effect in the United States, rates of infection among consumers will sharply increase, not decrease, due to the removal of immune-boosting natural medicine from the food supply. Consumers will also experience higher rates of cancer, heart disease, dementia, eye disorders, diabetes and even obesity. By destroying these thousands of healing phytonutrients, irradiation will leave many consumers defenseless against modern society's many health challenges.
Let's sterilize all the food!
[The USDA] ...backed the recent almond sterilization law that went into effect in California last year, forcing all almond growers to sterilize their almonds by subjecting them to toxic chemicals or cooking them at high enough temperatures to kill anything that might have been alive (such as the almond itself)....
Raw milk has also been under attack in California and elsewhere. The
USDA supported laws that essentially banned the sales of raw milk,
requiring milk to be sterilized, too. If you now irradiate all the
fresh produce, you have a food supply that is predominantly sterilized
-- otherwise known as "dead."
....Foods should not be expected to be sterilized. In terms of food safety, emphasis should be placed on boosting the health and immune systems of individuals so they can survive occasional contact with E. Coli rather than trying to create a sterile environment in which nothing is alive. As it turns out, the people susceptible to food-borne illnesses are precisely those individuals who have compromised immune systems due to their intake of vaccines and antibiotics. Thus, it is modern medicine that has made these people vulnerable to food-borne illnesses. Blame the drug companies, not the bacteria.

I am a nursing mother with hypoglycemia and I see your healthy products are working wonderfully for me and my 4 month old. I never heard of many of these foods, I love the goji berries and chia seeds.

Glorious Elders
I was born and raised on a farm in San Jose, Arizona where we grew all of our own meat, animal feed, vegetables, nuts and fruit, processed our own dairy, made our own soap, butter, clothing, etc. Although I am only 64 years old, we did not have electricity on our farm until I was about 10 years old. I married, moved to the city and have been there ever since. I am so excited to find your products and am afraid I will not be able to use grocery store, mass produced, inferior, products again. I share-crop with my brother-in-law, who lives about 10 miles away, who raises fresh vegetables. I have 7 children, 29 grand children and a large extended family who also enjoy eating and living healthy.
I have been purchasing and using your olive oil and coconut oil for several months and find the quality and taste to be the best I have tried. I have also started trying your honey, almonds, almond butter and some of your grains and am very impressed with these items as well. I enjoy reading your interesting contributions for keeping America clean, organic and unpolluted. I wish that every American was as interested and would hold their elected officers accountable for dedicating some of their time and efforts to these causes and issues.
Thank you for your time and your courtesies.
