If you've been using the Strong Child syrup, don't worry, this is the same formula with one more herb (ginger!) and a bit more reishi. Wellness Syrup is a slightly updated formula that is potent enough for adults and safe for children. (Frieda, the syrup maker, thought about calling it "instead-of-insurance syrup", but it wouldn't fit on the label. ) This medicine is formulated for deep immune support and nutrient absorption. It's meant to be taken during seasonal shifts, at the onset of illness, and for people with compromised immune systems (sleep-deprived, very stressed, elderly, coming off antibiotics). It's alcohol free (honey-based), safe for children, and uber local with Sonoma County honey, elderberry and jujube. It also makes an excellent 'sick drink' combined with apple cider vinegar, hot water, and crushed garlic.

The Sonoma Coast Seaweed Company- owned and operated by Brian Noyes- is the reincarnation of Heidi Hermann's Strong Arm Farm seaweed harvesting operation. For the previous eight years, Brian has volunteered and worked as a seaweed harvester and processor for Heidi, learning the craft of sustainable seaweed foraging and drying. Inspired by his favorite childhood memories of scrambling over the boulders and exploring the tidepools of Sonoma's coastline with his grandparents, he has entered the business committed to upholding the high standards of quality and environmental responsibility that Heidi has established.
Today, The Sonoma Coast Seaweed Company provides sustainably hand-harvested seaweeds that capture the flavor and spirit of California’s North Coast — connecting land, sea, and community through every harvest.
(For the intrepid and curious, The Sonoma Coast Seaweed Company holds volunteer harvesting days throughout the summer season.

Kombu offers tons of minerals, such as calcium, copper, iron, magnesium, manganese, molybdenum, phosphorus, potassium, selenium, vanadium, and zinc. Brown algae, like this seaweed, offer a rich source of iodine and vanadium, also a mineral found in sea vegetables. Added to beans, to soften and break down the tough fibers, increasing the digestibility, therefore reducing the 'gas effect'. Studies show that alginic acids in Kombu remove heavy metals from our bodies.

Rockweed is a type of brown seaweed that’s tied to traditional medicine. It’s also known as Bladderwrack, red fucus, dyers fucus, rock wrack, black tang, and bladder fucus. This brown algae is packed with vitamins and trace elements, making it a sought-after supplement for both humans and animals. Rockweed steps up to the plate with a composition that includes iodine, vital for thyroid function, and alginate, a fiber that aids digestion. It's also a source of antioxidants, which combat oxidative stress in the body.
Warning: Due to the high levels of iodine, salt, and heavy metals, bladderwrack may not be safe for people with thyroid disorders, those taking certain medications, and women who are pregnant or breastfeeding. Always consult your healthcare professional first.

Unlike national brands, Vital Choice canned Albacore Tuna is cooked only once, to preserve its fresh flavor, firm texture, and healthful omega-3s. In addition to ample protein, Albacore provides omega-3s in abundance, and substantial amounts of vitamin D.
All Vital Choice Albacore comes from a North Pacific fishery in which smaller boats line-catch individual tuna using the sustainable troll method, which ensures careful handling of each fish, safety for dolphins, and very minimal bycatch.
*Dolphin safe
* No added oil, water or salt
* Low sodium
* Easy-open top
* Certified Kosher (OU B.Y. & M.T.—full oversight) *
* Certified sustainable by Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) Thanks to its sustainable harvest and lower mercury content, albacore from this fishery is categorized as “Super Green” by Monterey Bay Aquarium. Vital Choice has this to say about their Albacore Tuna: "[It] is sustainably harvested by our neighbor Paul Hill, who quickly flash-freezes it on his small boat to preserve the fish at its peak of freshness. Because predatory fish such as tuna accumulate mercury over time, Paul provides us with younger, smaller Albacore tuna (14 lbs. or less) for optimal purity."
Known also as red salmon, wild sockeye is celebrated for its vivid color, firm texture, and bold flavor. Of the five Pacific salmon species, sockeye has the highest protein and vitamin D content per serving. Vital Choice salmon is wild-caught in the icy waters of Alaska and tastes delicious on a salad, in a casserole, or straight out of the can.
Ingredients: sockeye salmon, salt

This shrub is one of our favorite summer refreshments! We paired freshly juiced, perfectly ripe watermelons with with dill-infused apple cider vinegar and raw local honey to balance the traditional tang of the oxymel (vinegar-infused medicinal tonic).
A shrub is a traditional fruit concentrate, like a syrup, preserved with vinegar and used to make or flavor beverages. Unlike many others, our version uses raw honey for a treat free of refined sugars! A few ounces with bubbly or still water makes a fabulous drink all on its own (we recommend 4 or 5 parts water to 1 part shrub), and there's no reason you couldn't use it as a cocktail mixer. Shrubs can also add zing to jam or salad dressing, and make a wonderful glaze for grilled meats.
Ingredients: watermelons,* Bernie's Best raw apple cider vinegar* infused with dill,* raw unfiltered honey (* = organic)

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. Ume plums are salted, flavored with red shiso leaves, and then dried under the California sun to make umeboshi. The ultimate companion for a bowl of plain steamed rice. (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.
