The butter oil is extracted from dairy milk produced by cows that graze exclusively on irrigated grass of the Northern Great Plains. The combination of climate and irrigation produces a rapidly growing specialized forage ensuring optimal levels of Activator X. Casein and lactose free.
Dr. Weston A. Price discovered High Vitamin Butter Oil in the 1930s, and believed there was an extremely synergistic effect between High Vitamin Butter Oil and traditional cod liver oil. He treated many patients with this combination.
Ingredients: Fermented Cod Liver oil, butter oil concentrated through centrifugation, unbleached beeswax as thickener, Plant cellulose (capsules), silca. Contains COD (Pacific Cod) Milk. Allergy Statement: This product is made from wild caught fish and may contain other seafood allergens such as shellfish.
Many of the great historical cultures had one sacred food which they relied on to ensure strong mind, body, and spirit: Fermented fish/fish liver oil. The Mighty Roman Soldier was given a daily ration of fermented fish oil. The Stoic Scandinavian Viking had a drum of fermenting cod livers outside the door of his home. Grandma always had a bottle of cod liver oil in the back cupboard. Nutrient assays, including vitamins A and D, for these fermented oils vary widely depending on methodology, lab and batch. Current science struggles to answer the questions we have on our sacred fermented foods. There are many naturally occurring metabolites and co-factors that make the issue of measuring natural nutrients difficult in the fermented oils. We do know that historical cultures liberally consumed these sacred foods to great benefit without today’s standardization of knowledge.

Blue Ice Fermented Cod Liver Oil in liquid form, flavored with organic orange and lemon oil.
Cod Liver Oil is know to have high levels of the omega-3 fatty acids, EPA and DHA, and very high levels of vitamin A and vitamin D. According to Blue Ice: "Fish oils have historically been fermented for extraction; back in the Roman empire days, Viking era and all the way up to the mid 1850’s. Rendering was introduced during the mid 1850’s as a more efficient fish liver processing method. The livers yielded a much higher total oil volume and the process could be accomplished in several hours rather than several months. What they did not understand is the effects that heat had on the nutrients; their science was not ready to address this question. As with all industrial models, the focus was on profitability, speed or turns and, marketability (taste)."

Our simple, flavorful, deeply nourishing broth is made from roasted organic chicken bones, extra chicken feet (which are especially rich in gelatin), plus a splash of Bernie's apple cider vinegar to help draw out minerals. The broth simmers at just the right temperature for 12-16 hours to draw out the nutrients without damaging them by overcooking, and to bring out a lovely flavor.
To accommodate the needs of those on low- or no-salt diets or with other food sensitivities, we don't add anything else.
A half cup in the morning is a great way to awaken your digestion and get a shot of very digestible protein – about as much as 1 egg. You can simply heat the broth with a little salt and pepper, or tamari, fish sauce, coconut aminos, miso or any flavoring of your choice. Add it to enrich soups and stews (or use it as a base for your own soups), cook your rice or any starches in it, or braise chicken parts and vegetables for dinner. Cook it down for an umami-rich demi-glace! Add a little cold broth to deglaze a frying with a spatula and capture all that stuck-on flavor from grilled meats. Try a savory oatmeal cooked with broth (2:1 ratio with oats), with eggs, cheese or any savory condiments. (TSH worker-owner Mud Hut loves making Egg Drop Soup: cook the whites in simmering broth with a little salt and pepper, then add the yolk and turn the heat off after a few seconds.)
The term "broth" does not always mean the same thing to everyone. In the most commonly accepted usage, what we make is called "Bone Broth." It is the most gelatin-rich (meaning protein-rich) and mineral-rich of these variations, and cooked the longest. The term "broth" on its own (or "chicken broth" or "beef broth," etc.) usually means it was made with meat and little or no bones, cooked for a shorter time, less than 6 hours, and serves more as a flavoring base than a nutritional vehicle. "Stock" most often refers to bones simmered with vegetables and possibly herbs or whole spices, perhaps some meat, and is also usually cooked for less than 6 hours.
According to Sally Fallon, author of Nourishing Traditions, "[Bone broth] contains minerals in a form the body can absorb easily—not just calcium but also magnesium, phosphorus, silicon, sulphur and trace minerals. It contains the broken-down material from cartilage and tendons--stuff like chondroitin sulphates and glucosamine, now sold as expensive supplements for arthritis and joint pain."
If you're new to bone broth in your diet, or concerned about consuming a whole jar within 5 days of opening it, you can freeze what you don't need right away. One ingenious way to introduce broth into your life, or to simplify portion control, is to freeze it in ice cube trays, then store the cubes in a bag or container in the freezer. Heat a few whenever you want a cup of broth, add a few cubes when you cook rice or any starch, or when you're heating up a soup or stew...you get the picture.

Packed with nutritious beta carotene and fiber, carrots are well known as food for the skin, hair and eyes.
The popularity of carrots soared with the carrot-juice craze inaugurated by the famous natural-cancer doctor Max Gerson. Gerson’s theory was that carrot juice helped prevent cancer because of its high potassium content. Although this idea might be part of the story, we now know that carrots are the unique source of a natural pesticide called falcarinol made by the carrot’s root hairs and stored in the carrot itself. Falcarinol has significant cancer prevention and treatment effects as demonstrated in a recent article in the journal Chemical Communications.*
Our Carrot Powder is made from locally sourced, organically grown orange carrots, which we gently steam and dehydrate at low heat. Carrot Powder gives a subtle, sweet taste to any dish and can be enjoyed in stir-fries, deserts or soups.

Turmeric is probably the star of the plant world when it comes to disease prevention and treatment. Studies have shown positive effects from the regular consumption of turmeric in preventing everything from Alzheimer’s disease to cancer. Turmeric can also play a role in reducing the risk of heart disease, as it is a good source of Vitamin B6, which protects blood vessel walls from oxidative damage.
Turmeric absorption is enhanced by consumption with fat, such as its traditional complement, ghee (clarified butter), as well as a bit black pepper. Our turmeric powder is grown in the rich volcanic soils of Hawaii, which enhances its nutrient profile and flavor.

Sourced from U.S. organic family farms. (No imported fat here), This is the most prized lard available. Organic means you can be guaranteed that this has been certified to have no GMO's pesticides, added hormones, or antibiotics. Rendered from the prized pasture-raised "leaf" (internal fat), making it less "porky" tasting than Fatworks' other lard offering, which comes from back fat primarily.
Both have their uses, but as there is no meat muscle in the leaf, it has a milder pork flavor and slightly higher saturated fat, making it the perfect lard when you need a delicate, light, and "clean" taste. Bakers have cherished Leaf Lard because it creates the best crusts and cakes, and cookies while not imparting any flavor of its own. The perfect fat for bakers and keto, and paleo fat connoisseurs, and the gourmet baker's secret weapon.
Ingredients: Organic Free Range Leaf Lard, Organic Rosemary Extract
If there is such a thing as luxury lard, this is it! Introducing our magnificent Spanish Ibérico Lard, crafted from 100% Black Label Ibérico de Bellota—the highest distinction of Ibérico pork. Sourced from purebred Ibérico pigs raised in Spain’s Dehesa, these legendary hogs roam freely and live the fat life, feasting on a diet of acorns to produce a truly luxurious lard prized for its unparalleled depth of flavor.
What is the Dehesa? The Dehesa is Spain’s ancient, oak-covered pastureland, where Ibérico pigs roam like little four-legged foodies, foraging for acorns, wild herbs, and grasses. This unique ecosystem, found primarily in southwestern Spain, plays a crucial role in developing the exceptional quality of Ibérico pork. The pigs’ natural diet—rich in oleic acid from acorns—gives their fat its silky texture, delicate nuttiness, and unmistakable depth of flavor.
What Makes Black Label Ibérico Special? Only pigs with the purest Ibérico lineage, raised exclusively on acorns, earn the coveted Black Label status. This rare and meticulous process produces lard that is exceptionally smooth, with a buttery mouthfeel and subtle sweetness, embodying the natural richness of the Spanish Dehesa. In other words, this is the filet mignon of fat.
Ingredients: 100% Spanish Iberico Pork Fat

This flavorful gelatin-rich broth is made from Marin Sun Farms beef bones and browned meat (for flavor), filtered water, and a splash of apple cider vinegar to help draw out minerals. It is slowly simmered at just the right temperature for approximately 48 hours before being jarred. To maximize the nutritional value of our broth, we use only gelatin-rich knuckle and joint bones and beef feet.
To accommodate the needs of those on low- or no-salt diets or with other food sensitivities, we don't add anything else.
According to Dr. Thomas Cowan, co-founder of the Weston A. Price Foundation, "In healthy, traditional cultures, when an animal was slaughtered, all the parts were put to use, including the bones, to make mineral-rich broth. Our modern diet, having largely forgotten the use of broth as the basis of our cooking, is estimated to have less than half the mineral content of more traditional diets. This rich mineral content and the fact that soup broths greatly aid digestion are just two of the many reasons why everyone should make soup broth a part of their daily diet."
DO NOT FREEZE the beef bone broth in these jars. Although the jars are meant to be freezer-safe, we have found that the beef broth can still expand and crack the jar when frozen. You can transfer the broth to a different container to freeze it, or freeze it in ice cube trays for better portion control. We find that, unopened, the broth lasts for four weeks or more in the fridge, and should be consumed within 5 days of opening or thawing.
The term "broth" does not always mean the same thing to everyone. In the most commonly accepted usage, what we make is called "Bone Broth." It is the most gelatin-rich (meaning protein-rich) and mineral-rich of these variations, and cooked the longest. The term "broth" on its own (or "chicken broth" or "beef broth," etc.) usually means it was made with meat and little or no bones, cooked for a shorter time, less than 6 hours, and serves more as a flavoring base than a nutritional vehicle. "Stock" most often refers to bones simmered with vegetables and possibly herbs or whole spices, perhaps some meat, and is also usually cooked for less than 6 hours.
Ingredients: grassfed beef bones and pan-seared beef, filtered water, apple cider vinegar* (* = organic)

Landsea is the pacific northwestern incarnation of the traditional Japanese seasoning gomasio (‘goma’: sesame +’ shio’= salt). In this version the salt is replaced with bull kelp, a mineral rich algae and nettles, a nutrient dense medicinal plant, which both flourish abundantly in this region. Landsea is designed to let the wild flavors of the Orcas Island shine, and to support your body with their nourishing powers. The salty flavor of bull kelp is predominantly potassium rather than sodium. This makes it an excellent substitute for table salt. Dried bull kelp is composed of up to 50% mineral, primarily potassium, calcium, magnesium, phosphorous and iodine among others. Bull kelp is also full of vitamins and essential fatty acids. Nettles have been described as nature’s multi-vitamin. They are loaded with vitamins and minerals and have been used for centuries to cure a wide variety of ailments and to support many systems of the body. Sesame is a great source of copper and manganese as well as calcium, magnesium, iron, phosphorous, vitamin b1, zinc, molybdenum, selenium and dietary fiber. Ingredients: Sesame Seeds, Bull Kelp and Nettle Allergin Alert: Contains Sesame
This is inspired by the classic Middle Eastern seasoning blend which traditionally includes toasted Sesame, Sumac, Marjoram, Sea-Salt and a touch of hot pepper. Landsea Za'atar will include all of these ingredients in addition to Wild-crafted Bull-Kelp and Nettles from Orcas Island.
Za'atar has a bright, tangy flavor profile but is also grounded by the nutty umami of Landsea Gomasio's original ingredients. It's
delicious on roasted meats, vegetables, or in a bowl of olive oil for dipping bread.

Turkey Tail is a super-shroom. It is packed with antioxidants, including over 35 phenols and powerful flavonoids. They promote a healthy immune system by managing inflammation and stimulating the release of immune-supportive compounds.

Rosita Wild Seaweed is harvested at a remote site, Pentland Firth, north of Scotland, which has some of the highest water exchanges in the world, ensuring that the seaweeds are cleaner and healthier than any other seaweed products. Rosita uses a low-temperature drying method that is gentle and helps preserve the delicate micronutrient content, and smaller milling sizes help to improve bioavailability.
The seaweeds are handpicked during their peak growing periods, when the plants are in optimal condition and rich in nutrients. Unlike the common machine harvesting method, individual plants are cut so that enough remains for regrowth and reproduction. Harvesters work in small teams and access the foreshore on foot. The most stringent regulations are followed to ensure the local ecosystem can continue to thrive.
Sustainable: The seaweeds are handpicked during their peak growing periods when the plants are in optimal condition and rich in nutrients.
Unprocessed & raw: Rosita uses a low-temperature drying method that is gentle and helps preserve the delicate micronutrient content.
Convenient: Rosita Wild Seaweed blend offers a better spread of micronutrients than a single type of seaweed, providing a more comprehensive nutritional profile.

Swedish Bitters can play a vital role in our modern lifestyle. In cultures that were closely connected to nature, the bitter taste was very prevalent in the daily diet. It has almost disappeared from the average “civilized” diet leaving people open to a host of imbalances. It is the bitter element that activates, tones and strengthens the liver, gall bladder and all digestive organs making it possible for our metabolism to reestablish its equilibrium. Experience has shown that the Swedish Bitters elixir has a remarkably wide range of applications. Digestive complaints, general detoxifying, insomnia, allergies, cold and flu symptoms are some of the most common uses.
Conditions where the internal use of Swedish Bitters is contraindicated: diarrhea, cases of intestinal obstruction, during pregnancy or breastfeeding, and constitutional homeopathic remedies.

Yume Boshi founder Ayako Iino grew up eating her mother's house made umeboshi pickles. She founded Yume Boshi in 2013 as the fruit on the ume plum trees became ripe in Northern California. Using traditional methods Ayako set to work transforming the tangy fruit she sources from small local orchards into pickles. Koume is a style of umeboshi pickle that is made with a different variety of ume plum. The fruit is smaller and more delicate. Soft, tangy, salty, bright red color --- that same taste but it can be used with less impact. Great for rice balls or for bento box. Umeboshi is a savory ume plum pickle eaten as a condiment for rice every day in Japan. She uses locally sourced plums and traditional methods of preparation.

(Mix in small amount as you wish.) Stronger taste than your usual pickle - a little goes a long way!?? Ingredients: ume plums, sea salt, red shiso leaves No need to refrigerate, but keep in cool place.
