| About Us
Have you noticed an increase in unhealthiness, more chronic illness more
obesity. It seems everyone is struggling with some ailment and that doesn't’t
seem normal. What caused all this sickness and suffering? Did nature goof
or man? It seems more likely to be man. Were well meaning people giving
us bad information?
One of our family members has a life threatening disease and the doctor
we were dealing with had to make sure we had no hope. How could he be
so arrogant? I had many doubts about our medical ways. An article in an
American Medical Association Journal reported over 300,000 deaths a year
in hospitals are caused by doctor errors. America with the most doctors
has the worst health . We are told we have a 90% chance of dying from
either heart disease or cancer. Clearly something isn't right. Suspicion
was growing that our intellects had become too dominant and smothering
our common sense. Sure, man was doing very clever things, but were they
wise? There seems to be a price we pay for each new intellectually derived
creation. The cars that were to bring us together have separated us. The
computers that were to save us time made us busier. I appreciate times
when people are humbled to be more dependent on others like after a big
snowfall that shuts everything down.
Liberation from health fears began for us about ten years ago when we
realized how what we eat affects us. It seemed that the only sane way
of living is to live within the laws of nature. How does nature serve
her food? Fortunately we were already living on a beautiful organic orchard
in the southern Okanagan valley overlooking the lake. This valley has
a unique climate that allows us to grow some of the best fruit anywhere.
Naturally a good portion of our diet came from our own orchard and garden.
It was not a gradual transition of diet for us. One day we simply threw
out everything that we deemed not whole and raw out of the house. That
way we wouldn't be tempted. Our house was to be a safe haven for eating
naturally. We had many challenges but the positive results were more than
enough to prove the rightness to us and after awhile eating habits change
completely. Cravings for old comfort foods fall away and you are free.
Free from fear of illness, free from enslavement to the medical system,
free from irritability and free from societies dogma.
We are a family of five working together to provide to others the same
foods that we enjoy, whole foods that have been grown organically, sustainability
and prepared without hurting their viability. Many of the foods we wanted
are from far away and too expensive in small quantities. By buying volume
we have found a way of importing special food that was far for too expensive
otherwise and providing for others at low prices. We are helping each
other.
