Video: The Rallies to Protect Organic

Dear brothers and sisters,

Organic is constantly being eroded as factory farms displace the family farmers who started the movement. The organic seal does not protect you against food grown in chemical soup instead of soil. Originally organic agriculture was meant to build the long-term vitality of the soil. But not anymore. There is a tidal wave of hydroponic production of fruits and vegetables. Dave Chapman, a Vermont farmer ,who first sounded the alarm about hydroponics in organic says,”in five years virtually all supermarket certified organic tomatoes, peppers, and cucumbers will be hydroponic.” It is happening. Those “organic” berries and those “organic “tomatoes that you find on store shelves- where are they coming from in the midst of winter? They are grown in Mexico in enormous greenhouse complexes.

In actuality more and more so-called “organic” produce is industrial farmed in enormous mono- cropped fields. Due to the lack of biodiversity, these fields are more vulnerable to the rapid spread of pest and disease; therefore, monocrop production routinely depends upon the greater use of organic pesticides throughout the growing season.

Furthermore, monoculture degrades the soil and produces crops that are lacking in nutrients.

CAFO’s, contained animal feeding operations, are another egregious insult. So-called “organic” eggs, milk and meat are produced in huge indoor feeding operations making a mockery of the requirement that animals should have pasture and open space.

We are pleased to present this magnificent video where you are speaking out against the dumbing down of organics.How alive you are in your righteous indignation.

Here you are standing up for bubbling, streaming, pulsating aliveness.You have moved from “sustainability” to “regeneration” . But that is by no means the final resting place; the untrodden road still lies ahead; the word is now “re-creation”. You in your strength, vigor and resilience will yet build victory gardens.

With vibrant wishes to you and family, for good health, prosperity and success.

Recipe: Sensational Red Cabbage Slaw

by Master Live Food Chef Barbara Kessler of Rawfully Tempting

Quick, easy, refreshing….delicious! I recently harvested an amazing batch of sunflower seed shoots and wanted to feature them in a salad that was a snap to prepare. Obviously, if you don’t have sunflower shoots, you may use other sprouts…but I highly suggest giving them a shot, they are my favorite sprouts of all!!!

Red Cabbage Slaw Ingredients
1/2 head red cabbage, shredded
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
¼ tsp Himalayan salt
3 Tablespoons olive oil
1 cup carrots, coarsely chopped
2 cups cucumbers, coarsely chopped
1/4 cup green beans, chopped
1 cup sunflower seed shoots (or sprouts of your choice)
¼ cup red onion, thinly sliced
2 Tablespoons sundried olives, chopped
3 Tablespoons sunflower seeds

New! Items For June

Ohi’a Lehua Blossom Hawaiian Honey – Alive & Organic

A sonata with with high notes of floral and fruit.

Lehua Honey’s rich, slightly floral taste and silky texture complement, but don’t overwhelm, other flavors and ingredients, making it one of the most versatile of honeys in the world.

Lehua Honey is becoming one of the rarest on Earth. It is recognized for its unique quality, taste and connection to the islands of Hawaii. The Lehua is the official flower of Hawaii. It is sad that the Ohia Lehua tree is facing the threat of extinction.

Our Ohia Lehua Honey is gathered by a family devoted to beekeeping.

Hawthorn Honey – Alive & Unfiltered

Hawthorn honey is light in both color and flavor with tropical, fruity highlights that reflect the fragrance of the hawthorn blossoms.

Honey will naturally crystallize over time, which does not diminish the quality or flavor. If desired, you may heat gently in a warm water bath to liquefy.

Lake Baikal Siberian Pine Nut Butter – Alive & Organic

These pinenuts nuts are wildcrafted from trees in a pristine wilderness, the Siberian taiga. This is the most extensive virgin forest in the world. We invite you to experience the taste of the primordial!

Siberian pine nuts are quite different from the pine nuts you find in stores. The latter are imported from China and are a species of Korean pine nut, Pinus Koraiensus. Siberian pine nuts are a different species, Pinus Sibirica. They are the fruits of a majestic and beautiful tree.
