Dear Brothers and Sisters,
A few weeks ago we introduced our Black Sesame ChocolateTruffles.We
were encouraged by your response and have continued to innovate.We
have just brought out our Almond Chocolate Truffles. They
feature California almonds grown by family farmers. How fragrant
these truffles are! They will fill your kitchen with a bouquet
of aliveness!
Over 30 years ago we began making almond butter.
It’s still a pillar of our business. That’s why
we were particularly gratified to receive an email from Ursula
a champion athlete. She likes our almond butter! Please scroll
down.
You might wish to consider our August in
Winter selection of California sun-dried fruits.
We have put on sale this month our alive pecan
butter. Our pleasure to share this delicious treat with you.
Although the pecan originated here, nowadays most organic
pecans come from Peru. Our pecans, however, are grown in Texas.
With every spoonful you are voting for American family farmers!
We are also continuing our sale from last month
of almond butter, almonds and tahini. Reward yourself with
the energy and wonder of California almonds! No European almond
can compare!
Also in this newsletter you’ll find the
latest articles we’ve added to our World
Mind including several on cell phones,the economy and
a new section on critiques of Darwin’s theory of evolution.
You also find news about employment opportunities
and internships. Here is a chance to become a professional
in the live food industry as well as to learn from us as we
follow Our
Way of intellectual inquiry, live food and vigorous exercise.
It seems that there is always another bill lurking
out there that is threatening to further deaden the American
food supply. In this regard we call attention to S510. For
details please see below.
We’ve been introducing products at a
phenomenal rate; we now have 19 nut butters, 4 pestos and
4 alive chocolates. We ask ourselves whether there might be
something that you would like to see us create. We would love
to hear from you. Please share your thoughts and suggestions!

Almond Butter |
Ursula Grobler -
Aspiring Olympic Champion says:-
Living Tree Alive Organic Almond Butter is my stable
diet. I use it in my protein smoothies, or with fruit,
as a dessert. There are no preservatives; it tastes
fresh, clean and alive! Braving the elements daily,
I feel the energy from the Almond Butter keeps me going,
and even helps keep me warm!
I train for about 4 to 6 hours
a day. Rowing is classed as a power endurance sport,
so you need the strength of a sprinter, but the endurance
of a marathon runner. You need to touch a little of
everything, and keeping my nerves fresh to react to
the intense technical aspects also means I need to be
on top of what I eat. I'm training hard everyday because
I have a dream to get to the London Olympic Games in
2012 representing the USA. And I know with the right
support, like I'm getting from Living Tree, I'm able
to go for gold!
Thank you Jesse and all the family
of the Living Tree for caring about us!
Yours Sincerely
Ursula Grobler |

I came to live in Seattle,
USA from Pretoria, RSA in 2003 after completing my BA
degree in Information Design at the University of Pretoria.
Rowing found me for the first time in Seattle as something
to fill a few hours in the day and get required credits
for my aupair program. A few years later I started working
with Carlos Dinares. He taught me how to really row,
and then trained me to pursue excellence. A journey
I'm still far from finish, but this pursuit started
taking effects not only in sports performance, but in
nutritional performance as well. I started following
the Paleo Diet and not long after, I started seeking
out different food choices that supported sustainable
growing practices and cared enough to do something about
it. The Living Tree Community's whole approach to the
environment made my soul better. Buying their nuts,
dried fruits and butters made me know I'm doing something
right.

Almond Butter |
We
call it Freedom Butter.
We invite you to open a jar and spread our almond butter
on a slice of apple. Experience its texture and savor
its aroma. Taste its whole bodied flavor. Maybe it will
inspire you with the wisdom of John Muir, the courage
of Martin Luther King Jr. and the genius of Steve Wozniak.
They stood
up in Berkeley. Here in the '60s you stood up too. The
zeitgeist, the spirit of the time echoed out
the academic halls, strode down streets, reverberated
from the hills, crossed the Bay and then on out to humanity.
For a moment you were the conscience, the spokesman
of humanity! |

the senses and induces feelings of hope and optimism.Tempt
yourself with the aliveness of raw cacao. Top an alive
fruit pie with it. Just the thing to wean kids from
lesser foods.

Crop! Calimyrna Figs - At Last! Sun dried,
Luscious and Evocative! |

This
is the fig you've been awaiting! Noted for its delicious,
nut-like flavor. It is the smyrna fig from Turkey; long
ago crowned best-tasting fig of all. It was brought
to California in the 19th century, its name was changed
to Calimyrna- a combination of California and Smyrna.

| Living Tree, Alive,
Organic Almond Butter |
| |
We began making almond butter over 25 years ago. At
first our almond butter was roasted, but that has become
a small part of what we do. Nowadays, our energy goes
into making alive almond butter. We have developed,
over the years, a proprietary process. We make it slowly,
over several days. We slice, we do not grind. Furthermore,
we make it frequently, in small batches so it's fresh
and alive.

| S 510 will allow the FDA to
mandate GMOs in the US |
We received the following letter:-
I am writing because I got the OCA Organic Bytes today
which included your company's interest in living foods
and I thought you needed to know what is looming.
For some reason, the progressive community is unaware
of the extend of the threat and there is no attention
being paid to this bill.
The bill will also allow them to mandate the use
of pesticides, antibiotics, hormones, etc. and the
irradiation of all food. That is, food would be dead.
The pharmaceutical industry is involved as well, and
dead food means people unable to use food to be healthy,
which means endless profit.
This bill is the biggest threat ever faced by those
concerned about farming, food and health.
Essentially, S 510 includes "best farming practices"
which is not a vague thing but a very specific WTO
set of regulations based on the use of the "most
advanced scientific ideas in agriculture" (or
some such language), to be decided by experts from
industry within a year after the bill is passed. That
is allowing industry to impose GMOs, pesticides, and
the rest. It may be they will simply refer to Codex
Alimentarius which is a WTO bureaucracy and does the
same thing. They essentially define their alienated
and mechanistic concept as most advanced and get that
put into law so it can then be forced onto farmers.
Strongly recommend this article which describes
the totalitarian aspects of the measure.
http://foodfreedom.wordpress.com/2009/06/16/hr-2749-totalitarian-control-of-the-food-supply/
Thank you for anything you do to help get word out.
The only encouraging thing I see in this is the Monsanto
has had to be sly to get this far, which means they
know that if people realized, this would hit a massive
wall of opposition. So the task is to let everyone
know.
