As doctors taper or end opioid prescriptions, many patients driven to despair, su***de

Please read!!! Our new reality...This article will choke you up. This is the result of our broken healthcare system, terrible government regulations, a lack of education on healthy foods, along with the excuse, “well, it’s legal and my only choice.” It’s so sad it has come to this:

Doctors and medical establishments are sharply reducing doses of – or altogether no long prescribing -- pain medications, leaving many among the estimated 20 million Americans who suffer from daily debilitating chronic pain to consider ending their lives, and many others to kill themselves.

The Science Behind Our Motto!

Great article for this beautiful Monday morning!!
https://draxe.com/food-is-medicine/

"Food Is Medicine." Hippocrates said it over 2,400 years ago and knew of what he spoke, as contemporary research continues to show the healing abilities of our own foods for serious disease. So what are the best medicinal foods? What does a Food Is Medicine diet look like?

Cannabis saved my life...give me one reason why more people shouldn't have access to the best organic craft cannabis customized for them. It's no longer "taboo" to talk about this--real medicine, real results, real proof. People shouldn't be scared to talk about something that is natural and healing. Why not try something with minimal side effects FIRST, rather than roll the dice and play Russian Roulette with harsh drugs?

Do you like things "arranged" and "in order" in your life? Of course you do...things are easier to find, it's more efficient, and I'm sure you can get more things done when you know where to find your stuff. It's the same with plants. Plants love things arranged so they can "find" the things they need. That's why we use STRUCTURED WATER. What is structured water? Check this out:
Structured water is a molecular arrangement of water molecules that exists when water is near hydrophilic (water loving) surfaces. Much like ice, water molecules join together in hexagonally structured single layer sheets. Unlike ice, however, the sheets are flexible and move independently as they are not glued together by protons. The majority of the water in your body is structured water as your bodily tissues are hydrophilic.

Our plants find the nutrients they need--naturally, and to the fullest potential. This method of growing allows the plants to reach their full potential, nutritionally, giving you the highest form of all natural organic benefits WITHOUT the use of synthetic nutrients or harmful chemicals :).

We are finally gearing up to launch our crowdsourcing campaign. It's been a long road and a lot of work putting this together. I can promise you that our new "Pharm" will be unlike anything out there and offering patients an alternative. WE NEED YOUR HELP!!!!! This depends on our friends sharing this news with friends, family, and those that may be struggling to find any relief for their cancer, autoimmune disorder, PTSD, anxiety, or any other crippling disease, both physically and mentally. Medical foods, Medical herbs, and a Medicinal Environment. The "Pharm" will be a training center, an Airbnb, and a place to find help/guidance, and a place to get your best organic medicines--at an AFFORDABLE price. Launching JUNE 1st

Rebuilding the Farm: Hi Friends! We apologize first, for not being able to supply you all with your greens. BUT, I'm excited to tell you that we have teamed up with some amazing companies that embrace our mission as we prepare to start rebuilding the farm from the ground up. We will be starting a YouTube channel that will document this whole process and show you our partners' products and how they work. TONS of educational videos are coming as well. So, let's get right into it! How will we grow indoors? Many of you have heard me talk about "Dual root" growing methods I use in everything I grow. It's the best of growing in soil (container)--taste, texture, nutrients...but the speed of hydroponics. I don't think anything compares. Over the next few days, I will post on how this can improve on the overall nutrient density of our product. Head over to https://www.riverponics.com/ and check out his videos. Great company, great product, but more than anything--FANTASTIC customer support. Matthew, the founder, and inventor of Riverponics, will talk to you personally and help you design your own system. We are glad to be working with Matthew and Riverponics going into the future. Join us as we Rebuild the Indoor Urban Farm.

Bumblebee Has Officially Been Added To The Ever-Growing List Of Endangered Species

Make sure you thank the largest seed company in the world, who is providing you with much of your food. Thanks Monsanto for making our world a better place with your pesticides and other harmful chemicals, as well as your genetically modified products (in my best sarcastic voice).

Study Finds Magnesium Treats Depression Better Than Antidepressant Drugs

Food is medicine!!! As we get ready to jump into 2019, we also are going into a long stretch of winter where depression hits the hardest. Add these foods rich in magnesium to your diet over the next couple months rather than reaching for a pill bottle:
Foods high in magnesium
1.) avocados
2.) pumpkin seeds
3.) Nuts (almonds, cashews, and Brazilian nuts)
4.) Legumes
5.) Fatty fish (salmon, mackerel and halibut)
6.) bananas
7.) Leafy greens ( spinach, spinach, collard greens, turnip greens and mustard greens) microgreens are the best in these varieties.

Currently in the world there are an astounding 350 million people who are suffering from some form of depression. That’s 5% of the world population. As this condition becomes a more popular diagnosis, there needs to be alternatives to the common antidepressant prescription. Antidepressants can wor...

Monsanto Bayer has created much of the chaos today in the world of farming with their pesticides, herbicides, GMO seeds, and unethical business practices that has been the cause of many cancers and autoimmune diseases (many of which they are paying huge buyouts out of court). They are now positioning to take over the cannabis and h**p industries, potentially putting many small farmers out of business and people at risk of future diseases and exposure to poisons. https://www.collective-evolution.com/2018/03/10/the-corporate-takeover-of-cannabis-how-monsanto-bayer-are-getting-in-on-cannabis/

As a small indoor farm (Controlled Environment Agriculture) we were started out of a passion for health, sustainability, and to treat diseases naturally. We can't compete financially with these giants and need your HELP! We are going to be launching an Indiegogo crowdsourcing campaign in a couple weeks that will give you an opportunity to help us build out our micro-farm and craft medical cannabis farm that offers custom medical strains. These medical strains will be custom blended according to the patient needs that maximizes the natural effects of the terpenes and cannabinoids with a person's natural endocannabinoid system while minimizing any side effects (A first of its kind). The first true "FARM TO PATIENT" model. We will also be developing our dual root zone, zero waste, growing system. We've found a small company here in the USA with the same values that we hold that will help us build this system--using zero synthetic fertilizers, zero pesticides/herbicides, 100% all organic. Our foods and medicines will be the highest nutrient-dense and medicinally potent in the world. As owner and operator of this small farm, I'm also a patient. I suffer from a rare blood cancer/bone marrow disease called "Polycythemia Rubra Vera" (JAK2+), as well as the autoimmune, "Ankylosing Spondylitis." I understand the pain and hardship of having chronic diseases. I understand the loneliness of not being able to work a regular job because of these diseases. I also understand the stigma that comes from refusing traditional treatments like chemo, radiation, and harsh pharmaceuticals drugs. Help us bring hope to people like myself. We need businesses, churches, faith groups, and communities help us build our farm to educate and equip people suffering from diseases hope that cancers and autoimmune diseases can be beaten, we can get you back into the workforce, and help you afford treatments that won't cause you a lifetime of financial loss. We want to offer high CBD medicines that are FULL SPECTRUM and not isolated and pulled from seeds and stalks, but from the flower. We can blend Cannabinoid levels, terpene levels, and different strains to create a one-two punch against diseases. We have proven these mixes over the last few years as countless patients have found relief. Check out this list of patients and conditions: brain cancer, prostate cancer, skin cancers, blood cancers, breast cancer, colon cancer, AS, Chrohn's, Dystonia, PTSD, and even addictions...and so many more. Please share this post, and help us feed and treat people the natural way as the first line of defense, before the use of harsh treatments and drugs. Thanks friends!!

Good Afternoon friends! We've been teasing about "Big News" for a little while so we won't keep you waiting. We will leak a little each week over the entire month of December. First...this will be our last month at the market as a vendor. As we move into the new year, we want to expand by extending our distribution through multiple vendors. Saying that, we are talking to a couple vendors at the market that will be carrying our microgreens--still fresh cut, the same day that you buy them!! Good news!! We will also be taking large custom orders. We believe these little veggies are the world's most nutrient dense/power packed foods! We are also looking for more distributors as well. If you would like to talk about wholesale opportunities, message us. Part 2...coming next week! (Hint...a potential new farm, and expand our current...)
