Classes Start TONIGHT!

Join us in our NEW Fancy Class Kitchen! As our classes are videotaped, available on-line and will be made available live in the future, we thought we would add some color and class. New paint, new cabinets, new lighting! Now, I DON’T decorate (we just get by), so we could use some finishing touches! Feel free to offer suggestions and help on that one!

Class tonight: Preserving the Garden: FRESH. Fruit roll ups, refrigerator pickles, canning applesauce, canning and freezing tomatoes, beans, pears and making fresh grape juice! You will enjoy the samples and learning how easy it is to put up your garden….and your neighbors’ garden too!

NOTE: Our classes are for everyone. If you are unable to attend due to finances, please let us know. You can help clean up afterward, prepare, or in other ways “pay” for the class. We do NOT want you to stay home because of money matters. That is not how we operate here at Nature’s Garden, as we will not turn people away because they can not afford to come. How awful that would be!

20-25 # Tomato Flats $18.00

Pre order your flats of local certified organic tomatoes! Please call in your order to 629-4300 and start canning today!. Thanks for the deal Chuck! Full Harvest Farm, we LOVE their produce (and so do you….we sell it in our store while in season!)

Non GMO Crusade

After the new information released these past few weeks with MORE studies and information on Bio Technology, we have decided to remove ALL products that have any GMO ingredients. Thus, we may very well be one of the first stores in WI, or America, with NO GMO’s. I have never been in a health food store or store anywhere that has made this claim, because it is hard to do! You will find a few products in the clearance section that hid their GMO’s quite well. We have been very careful to not have them, but they are in our store. At the same time we are looking for products to replace them. We can always make even more of our own organic products, but we lost our kitchen manager thanks to Roger! He set her up with a man who shops at our store and wala! They ran away together! So happy and sad are we at the same time……

Please suggest items you would like us to sell, or make. If you have time and want to spend a few hours doing some research on products for us, come on in. We want to offer you great healthy products, so please contribute ideas!

Co-Op

We have been tossing around the idea of making our health food store a large co-op. These types of stores are scattered around the US, and we are looking at becoming one of them. However, we have no idea if that would take here in Wisconsin. We want your feedback. We will have a meeting to discuss this possibility on Tuesday September 14th at 7:00 PM. Please RSVP so we know who is attending. All are welcome! A few features of a Co-op: Lower pricing on products, more local products, more bulk offers and orders, each adult in a family works 4-6 hours a month, and small if any yearly dues. We could offer bulk on produce as well, organic and non-organic, as well as get local farmers involved. Thoughts?

A Story that will make you SMILE!

We took the children to Wind Lake to see where I grew up last week. We visited the old home, the lake, the bike trails, and Heg Park. We then went to see the church I attended when growing up, St. Clares. They had built a new church, and where my old church was stood a MOUNTAIN SIZE pile of gravel. Lilly, our six year old, gently took my hand upon entering the new church and said in a quiet voice, “Mommy, I am sorry they ground up your church….”

If Your Home Was on Fire, Would You Call a Carpenter or a Fireman?

(I found this analogy and wanted to share it!)
If you want the fire out, you would call the firemen. They would come and soak your home with water, perhaps kick in a door or two and smash a few windows. Within time, the fire would be out. Then, you would call the carpenter. The carpenter would know how to fix the doors, walls, windows, floors and lay new carpeting. He could even make the home more prepared, by making sure fire alarms were set and working. If he had the correct knowledge, he would apply fire protection to your home. Analogy: Allopathic doctors (medical doctors who treat with pharmaceuticals) are the fireman. They can put a fire out, but the medications and treatments they use often leave their unnatural mark and toxic medications can be prescribed for years if not for life. Holistic Health Care and Naturopaths are the carpenters. They rebuild the body and help make them fireproof. They know what starts fires, and can build the body so these triggers are not pulled. They use foods, herbs, vitamins and minerals to do so. These are safe and natural.

Please build up your body and “fire proof” it by using the best foods. You CAN have a disease resistant body, and great immunity. Want to learn how? Attend our classes and just ask!

We believe life begets life and organs are needed in the body. We help people avoid ever having them removed. Cancer is a fungus, and can be fought, stopped and many times wiped out completely, even if on deaths’ bed. Diabetes (Type II) can be cured with food alone. WE HAVE SEEN THIS HAPPEN within weeks! ADD, ADHD, Acid Reflux, Arthritis, Low libido, you name it! ALL ailments are helped with proper tasty life-promoting foods. Can it really be that easy? YES! But changing a diet and ones’ eating habits is not an easy thing to do, unless they believe the changes will make a difference. We are here to assure you they WILL make a difference!

EXPO UPDATE

We met our designer and had a big meeting at the WI Expo Center at State Fair Park yesterday. We will be able to serve 1,500 children and adults at the Tasting Safari. We will be sending flyers home to thousands of Milwaukee and surrounding county area school children in a few weeks, so reserve your spot soon!

We will have an area at the expo amongst the hundreds of exhibitors for key note speakers as well as dance/yoga/martial arts demonstrations. Our four seminar rooms are quite classy and we are VERY excited for you to see who we have speaking thus far!

We will begin sending out expo information and updates to our Expo Group. If you wish to receive detailed Expo updates in the near future, please sign up for those newsletters at our website www.naturesgardenspot.com or www.vibrantlifevibrantchild.com . You can also becoming a fan on Facebook! Thanks Jenna for getting our fan page up!

We are in need of one more person to help make phone calls for the Expo and Milwaukee area Health Directory. You may do this from your own home, and must have an energetic personality and excitement for the expo! This is an enjoyable position, as so many have not heard of what we are doing and get VERY excited. Please call 629-4301 and speak to Rita if interested.
