Video: Join Us for Coconut Chia Seed Pudding - Alive & Organic

Dear friends,

We begin with a delightful recipe for coconut,chia seed pudding. Its made in a blender; simplicity itself. We start by creating Brazil nut milk, it will be our base. We add chia seeds and coconut flakes along with blueberries and blackberries and blend.The result is vital, alive and delicious.

Next, Ben with Growveg tells us how to grow perfect potatoes. It is all so easy.  We urge you to consider digging up your backyard or joining a community garden. Potatoes are so bountiful and Ben's enthusiasm is contagious.

It is our pleasure to bring you a healthy carrot cake with maple cream cheese frosting. (There are vegan options.) The principle ingredients are carrots, almond flour and shredded coconut.

Our April Victory Garden Sale includes Almond, Cashew, Brazilnut Innovation Butter and our Turmeric and Honey Butter. We recommend also our Khadrawy dates; while not as well-known Medjools they are a delightful way to welcome the effervescence of spring time.

A wonderful woman then exhorts us to plant two apple trees: the time to plant a tree, by the way, is now.

Then Brian, with Next Level Gardening  tells us what crops can be directly shown outdoors in April.

Please accept our best wishes to you and family for a vibrantly healthy and alive spring time.
