Video: From Live Food to Redemption; A Celebration

Dear brothers and sisters,

We marvel at your resilence  amidst adversity.Again and again you have carried us through.Within living memory, you transformed a nation sunk in depression to the most productive war economy ever and this in a twinkling-I'm referring of course to the aftermath of Pearl Harbor. 

We take pleasure in presenting this anticipation of  your restoration, regeneration and ultimately, redemption of this great nation.

Please accept our best wishes for you and family, for good health, prosperity and success.

Jujubes are red outside with a crispy texture, edible skin, and a sweet-tart flavor. Grown for you by Judith Redmond with Full Belly Farms, an outstanding family farmer here in California.

Jujuberries contain a wide array of nutrients, including magnesium, potassium, copper, niacin, calcium, manganese, phosphorus, and iron. They contain 20 times more vitamin C than any citrus fruit, strengthening the immune system and fighting infections, which may be why they’ve been used medicinally for millennia in many cultures, as a tea for sore throat, for example.
