Video: Cabbage Soup Juice - Alive and Organic, Of Course!

Dear brothers and sisters,

We are delighted to bring you Cabbage Soup Juice. It's a variation of a recipe we’ve found in  a magnificent new book, Superfood Juicing by Nora Day. This book is filled with vibrant and original recipes for living juices. It speaks to our times; in the face of fear and hysteria we’ve got to enliven every aspect of our lives. It will appear on July 12th and you can pre-order on Amazon.

Then Ben with GrowVeg does an early harvest of vibrant salad greens and veggies for his family. His enthusiasm is contagious. Let’s emulate him in our Victory Gardens.

We then present a magnificent Quinoa Chickpea Salad, a perfect concept for midsummer.

We follow this with our July Victory Garden sale featuring Hemp Heart Butter, Golden Fax Seeds and Golden Flax Seed Flour..

Our new items for July include Almond Flour, French Roast Coffee and Avocado Oil.

Sunil Pai MD tells us what we can do to prevent Alzheimer's, dementia and memory loss and Joel Kahn MD also tells us what we can do to prevent memory loss; it is significant that both  emphasize the importance of a plant based diet.

I trust that you and family have had a delightful Fourth of July and are going off forward with a renewed resolve to plant here  a Victory Garden for the American spirit.

Flax Seed Flour (Golden) – Organic and American Grown

20% Off!

Living Tree Community Foods Organic Golden Flax Seed Flour is American grown and high in Fiber, but low in Carbs. A great addition to your baking projects, smoothies or granola.

One of the most extraordinary benefits of flax seeds is that they contain high levels of mucilage gum content. Mucilage is a gel-forming fiber that is water soluble and has incredible benefits on the intestinal tract. The mucilage can keep food in the stomach from emptying too quickly into the small intestine which can increase nutrient absorption.
