 Many of you are confused about the co-op, so I am going to try and attempt to explain it in greater detail and the purpose for it. Many of you know Health Canada is enforcing more laws and regulations on June 20, 2011. Go to their website to read all the updates. I hate to be so blunt here: but you are delusional if you honestly think that Health Canada is genuinely interested in your health. We are talking about the same organization, who supports chemotherapy, radiation and drugs, with their many side effects, not to mention vaccines that cause other disease and illness. If the government was truly interested in saving people, then the medical route would not be the only alternative they would present to you. It is a bias, money making government conformed industry to dumb you down and keep you sick, medicated and on their drugs, hoping that you live long enough to pay taxes but not actually need the system once you hit retirement. Anyway, back to the co-op. Our purpose for creating the co-op is to become private-owned. We have many resources for non-regulated farms and products that we would like to share with our members. The fact is, running a health food store is not our ultimate goals in life. We have lots more projects and plans for the future. But we also love to share our knowledge on food and provide resources for people. We also want to provide more affordable organic products and quality supplements. The membership fee allows us to hire a full-time person to manage purchases and the store while we focus on other projects. The membership prices are really good and will get even better once we bring on more members. Our goal is to eventually sell products at cost and the annual membership fee will pay for the operating cost, i.e: lease, phones, packing, employee, etc. We have resources for pastured chickens, eggs, all grass fed beef, bio-dynamic produce, plus our organic seeds, nuts, dried fruits and supplements. Once we reach 1000 members, we can close our doors to the public, stop paying our license to be regulated by Alberta Health Services and truly serve our members. We hold high standards on cleanliness, safety and strive for the highest best quality. We personally visit every farm we buy from. Once we enter into a private membership, we have a stronger voice and vote for what we demand and support with farming, food and organics. Each member is the voice for a 1000 and creates a stronger unity against being controlled and bullied by the government. We hope to create a unity in building and growing better higher quality food and a strong voice voting for more responsibility and less governing, more preventative care and less medicated care. Your membership allows us to spend more time fighting for more control over our food and health products and better pricing. If you have questions or concerns, please email or call us today! |

Greetings!
I am so happy it is finally summer!! Have you been to the Farmer's Market lately? I am loving the tomatoes, peppers, lettuces and cucumbers. I really like the Kingsland Market. I love going on Thursday and deciding what to make for the week depending on what is at the market. My new love is our water filtration system. The fact is my hands were always so dry and rough no matter what I was lathering them with, oils, lotions, potions and creams. They were constantly getting a chlorine bath every time I was washing, cleaning and preparing food in the kitchen( which is constant!). My hands are finally healing and looking younger now that we have an all around the house water filtration system, which also includes watering the lawn. I am not sure of what all it takes out but you can find out more at the demonstation. See below for more details. I will be offering my Lunch n" Learn Series again this summer. So for those who are interested in a quick raw food lunch with recipes, call to register. For those who have been asking for my booklet, it is now available with commentary! |

Northern Water Cleaners
Demonstration Tuesday, June 14, 2011
The city of Calgary still has many old waterlines coming into your homes. Cast Iron, some lead, and some copper also galvanized steel. Many of these pipes are corroding and releasing all kinds of chemicals into the water. According to research approximately 150,000 homes are supplied with water having contact with lead water pipes. As you well know, imported children's toys from China were recalled because they were using chemicals, lead being one of them that kids could stick in their mouths. Ironically, everyday those same children must take baths and drink the water that flows into their homes through the waterlines that are composed from these toxic materials. Never mind the Chlorine that has devastating effects on all of our health. David Wolfe recently said in his workshop in Calgary: "A whole house filter is not just recommended but essential. Taking a shower with chlorinated water is like taking a shower in a gas chamber" Our newsletter has talked about the hidden dangers in your shower and we provided information about all the toxic by-products of Chlorine. Such as, Chlorine, Animal Waste, Sewage, Trihalomethanes, Pharmaceuticals, Herbicides, Pesticides to name a few of the waterborne, health hazards; some of which are Carcinogens. The workshop on the 14th will be held at Journey of Health. 518-22 Midlake Blvd. SE. 403-254-5991. |

Where to Find the Freshest Produce
Local and Canadian Grown  Many people are always asking me where I buy my produce so I thought I would share my produce finds- and it's never in one place.
COOP- Has organic cucumbers with seeds!
Kingsland Market: Various Vendors:
Cucumber Man- Has great baby cucumbers, green beans, butter lettuce, basil and red peppers.
The King's Orchard has really tasty celery from California, green cabbage and cherries.
Prairie Farm is carrying BC romaine lettuce, tomatoes and herbs.
Broxburn Vegetables carry amazing squashes grown in Lethbridge.
Greens, Eggs and Ham has nice micro greens and potatoes. Lund's Organics - Everything Gert grows is exceptional. No produce yet, but it's coming. He has the best carrots ever, kale, spinach, potatoes, beets, cilantro, the best romaine lettuce too, onions- I buy everything he grows- Exceptional!
For those on a budget, Safeway carries hothouse red, yellow and orange Canadian grown peppers and Red Hat brand hot house tomatoes grown in Medicine Hat. I collect Airmiles points so I shop there for my organic bagged yellow and red onions, kale, parsley, large tubs of organic spinach and spring mix, California Avocados, pineapples, broccoli and cauliflower. Safeway is also carrying California Mangoes, which I prefer over the ones from South America. Throughout the summer they will carry most organic berries and will feature the BC coronation grapes late summer to fall. They have a great price on frozen raspberries (which I recommend for smoothies. They also carry a large organic frozen food section.
Canadian Superstore carries organic lemons by the bag at a reasonable price. You can also buy organic berries, grapes and young thai coconuts.
The T&T Market carries delicious basil, young thai coconuts and they are carrying more organics. You can find jicima, red bananas some delicious Asian greens. You have to really dig and search for the organics, but they are there.
If you are in a hurry and price is not a concern, I recommend Planet Organic. It is my favorite place to shop. They also have good decent organic produce, very consistent. They carry the Hotchkiss produce- I love their mix greens, spinach and wheatgrass.
Blush Lane is my all time favorite place, but I live so far away, but occasionally make it up there. They have an amazing farm and everything that comes from their orchards is superb. Be sure to visit their website for harvest dates.
I spend most of my summer and early fall at various farmer markets. I love shopping at Blue Mountain BioDynamic Farm at the Hillhurst Sunnyside Farmers Market, you can also get their produce at Sunnside Market. Everything they grow is exceptional. I absolutely love Kris' produce. He grows the most amazing greens, broccoli, cabbages- it's all good! I drive all the way across town to buy his produce and it is worth the trip! I'll post more as we get into summer. Go out and visit a farmer's market this weekend. I encourage you to support our local farmers. |

I have to say, I am truly loving being a stay at home mom and love being at home with Abigail. But I realize I need balance and need to come out of hiding and start teaching again. You can catch me at the store on Tuesday from 9 am to noon and I will be teaching every Thursday at noon from July to September. I haven't been just playing mom. I have lots of exciting new events coming this Fall and exciting projects. I am working on some nut free classes, children classes, some raw food basic educational booklets along with a buying guide and a Balanced Recipe Menu Guide.
So stop in and say hello. You can always email me by replying to this newsletter. Have a wonderful summer.
