Sense the fire and passion that goes into creating one of the world's best olive oils. Rejoice in his dedication and sense of responsibility to you and to this California earth. We invite you to view the video below.


It is because of men like Darro that we feel certain that the life at the grass roots will eventually re-assert itself and restore, renew and heal this people and this earth.

May you and family prosper in good health,

What's New at Living Tree Community

We are pleased to awaken you to Spring with Manuka Honey, Active 16+.

Other new introductions include Berkeley Buzz Butter for those who dare, Tart Cherries, Black Cumin Oil and Boreal Dulse Flakes.

Our May Super Special is now a jar of Alive, Organic, Almond Butter 8oz as a bonus on orders over $150; this is in addition to our usual John Muir Trail Mix bonus.

Our May Victory Garden Sale features Coconut Butter, Hazelnut Cloud, Dream of Paradise, Brazil Nut Butter, Sunflower Butter and Agave Nectar.

Our World Mind features a thoughtful article by Samuel Alexander, "Can Renewable Energy Sustain Consumer Societies?"

"A new report has just been published which ought to provoke a Copernican revolution in dominant conceptions of renewable energy and of sustainability more generally. The message may not be one that environmentalists want to hear, but it is one that we must all take very seriously, or risk having our good intentions dedicated to goals that cannot actually solve the very real environmental crises that we face.

Most people, including many environmentalists, seem to believe that Western-style consumer lifestyles can be sustained and even globalised, provided the world transitions to systems of renewable energy and produces goods more cleanly and efficiently. This assumption is reflected especially clearly in political discussion on environmental issues, which consistently pushes the message that we can grow our economies while reducing ecological impact. This view relies heavily on the expectation that renewable energy sources can be substituted for fossil fuels, but very little attention is given to the question of whether that expectation is realistic. Environmentalists want to believe it, but of course merely wanting something does not affect the laws of physics.

With little recognition, Dr. Ted Trainer has spent the best part of a decade tirelessly surveying the best available data on renewable energy and other technologies, and he has recently published the culmination of his efforts with the Simplicity Institute. Contradicting widely held assumptions, Trainer presents a formidable case that renewable energy and other ‘tech-fixes’ will be unable to sustain growth-based and energy-intensive consumer societies, with implications that are as profound as they will be unwelcome.

We are all for sustainable energy such as windpower, solar and so forth. But we have got to ask whether a "tech fix" will sustain us. We believe that we are facing a problem; in essence of how humans relate to fellow humans, a matter of decency, kindness and respect and no gimmick or gadget can change this. What is required is a fundamental change in the way we relate to one another.

Finally we note the Green Smoothie Opt-In - a creative event by Dr. LindaJoy Rose and Raw Fusion Living.
