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.
Ingredients: rosehip (Rosa spp.), elderberry (Sambucus nigra), milky oat tops (Avena sativa), jujube fruit (Ziziphus jujuba), reishi (Ganaderma lucidum), nettle leaf (Urtica dioica), orange peel, spirulina, ginger, nutritional yeast, cherry concentrate, honey, molasses, a touch o’ vinegar (as a preservative).
All herbs are certified organic or mindfully harvested.
Dosage: 2-4 years: ½-1 teaspoons daily, 4-6 years: 1-2 teaspoons daily, 6-12 years: 1 tablespoon daily. Remember, this is a safe, gentle formula, and the dosage is simply a suggestion. Feel free to experiment with how you offer this medicine as part of a meal.

The New Leaf Bakery is led by Hector, who has been the lead baker at Grindstone for 20 years. After Grindstone closed its doors, Hector with the support and guidance of the original owner of Grindstone decided to open the new bakery. They follow the traditional ancient method of stone grinding the Quinoa and Millet at the bakery just before making the dough, followed by a slow natural fermentation or authentic sourdough for this gluten-free Bread.
The health benefits of both Quinoa and Millet are well known. Quinoa is a seed, not a grain. It has a low glycemic index, is high in protein, and contains all the essential amino acids. It is rich in fiber and minerals, contains omega-3 and 6 fatty acids, is a good source of vitamin B2, folic acid, and vitamin E, and is also rich in polyphenols, phytosterols, and flavonoids. Millet is a grain, but it is not as inflammatory as most grains are; it is rich in magnesium and potassium and high in fiber. But the best thing about Millet is that it can work wonders for your gut; your gut microbes love its fiber, so it is a great pro-biotic.
To their simple and satisfying quinoa-millet dough, they have added a special blend of sprouted seeds coming right from sprouting trays to the top of the loaf. They add a vibrant combination of flavor, nutrients, and texture to this simple and pleasing dough. Slice it thin, toast, and add a few drops of good California Extra Virgin Olive Oil and you’ll feel transported to food paradise. Keeping up with our exceptional standards, they have faithfully followed our ancient baking principles.
INGREDIENTS: Organic whole quinoa & Organic whole millet stone-ground at the bakery, purified water, organic pumpkin seed, organic sesame seed, organic sunflower seed, organic psyllium husk, fermentation starter (quinoa, millet), sea salt.
Shelf Life: The bread will keep for one week at room temperature, or for a month if refrigerated.
Note: We refrigerated the bread for freshness; toasting the bread is recommended.

Flaxseed's health benefits come from the fact that it's high in fiber and omega-3 fatty acids, as well as phytochemicals called lignans. One tablespoon (7 grams, the amount in 2 slices) of ground flaxseed contains 2 grams of polyunsaturated fatty acids (including the omega 3s), 2 grams of dietary fiber, and 37 calories.
The combination of the ground flaxseed and the ground psyllium husk makes this bread an excellent choice to improve digestive health or relieve constipation. Flaxseed may also help lower total blood cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein (LDL, or "bad") cholesterol levels, which may help reduce the risk of heart disease.

A mild chili featuring the famous Three Sisters of Native America: maize, beans and squash. In our version, Alma Semillera heirloom posole is nixtamalized (cooked with slaked lime to release B Vitamins) and then simmered until tender in a savory and lightly spiced tomato base with white butter beans from Iacopi Farm in Half Moon Bay and zucchini. When you eat this stew, celebrate Native American wisdom! Planting these three crops together provides benefits to each: corn provides a climbing structure for the beans, which add nitrogen to the soil, while the squash leaves shade the roots of the corn and the beans and prevent soil evaporation.
Ingredients: zucchini,* posole,* butter beans, onions,* crushed tomatoes,* olive oil, garlic,* cilantro,* Celtic sea salt, apple cider vinegar,* coriander,* cumin,* paprika,* smoked paprika,* cinnamon,* chipotle powder,* cloves,* bay leaves, wild-harvested kombu sea vegetable (a small amount cooked with the beans to add nutrition and aid digestability) (* = organic)

The bar comes uncut and wrapped in brown butcher paper.

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."
Vital Choice premium quality Portuguese Mackerel comes from a family that has been picking and packing the finest fish for more than 100 years, selecting the fattiest, tastiest mackerel and processing and cooking them with the care needed to ensure fine flavor and texture.

Vital Choice genuine Atlantic mackerel (Scomber colias) make a delicious, health-promoting meal or snack full of essential nutrients, including omega-3 fatty acids, protein, calcium, potassium, iron, selenium, and vitamins B6, B12, D3, E, and K. Mackerel and other fatty fish have long been known as "brain food" because they are a rich source of nutrients that make up the brain's nerve cell membranes.

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.
