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 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.

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. If you are interested in joining a harvest or would like to learn more, please email harvest@sonomacoastseaweed.com to receive harvesting invites, seaweed recipes, and ocean-related news. -All email addresses will be held in confidence and never shared.)

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."

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. Contains edible skin and bones.

Fresh watermelon juice and our white tea kombucha make for a summertime combination not to be missed! A sprig of fresh Thai basil right in the bottle infuses the beverage with a mild herbal sweetness.

Kombucha is considered by many to have a detoxifying effect on the body. We culture organic tea and unrefined sugar with a SCOBY (symbiotic culture of bacteria and yeast), resulting in a probiotic, antioxidant-rich beverage.

Recipe is gluten-free and dairy-free.

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)

Recipe is gluten-free, dairy-free, and GAPS-diet friendly.

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.
