Today!

Join us August 4th!

We are so happy to have our dear friend and world renowned mushroom expert Dennis Sharmahd ,share his deep knowledge and experience growing and teaching people how to grow mushrooms. From his many years of experience, he has easy and practical ways to grow mushrooms for success.

In this workshop we will be learning how to grow your own Medicinal Reishi Mushrooms on small Oak logs. This is a very easy way to grow Reishi by inoculating logs with dowels then putting them in small pots of moist sand. These logs will produce several crops during the warm growing season.

Reishi Mushrooms are one of the most medicinal mushrooms and with the most research conducted. Some of the properties include anti-bacterial, anti-inflammatory, anti-tumor, anti-viral, immune enhancing, liver tonic, nerve tonic, and stress reducer!

Growing your own mushrooms is also a great way to get fungi into your soil. Once you harvest your mushrooms, you can bury the substrate at the base of your Moringa trees. Fungi helps build the diversity in the soil and adds to the nutrient cycling, thereby improving your soil quality.


*We will serve Reishi tea, light food and snacks.’
Moringa refreshments served as well.
You will go home with your own inoculated Oak log

Sunday, August 4th

Our Yearling Root Stocks are now available for shipping!

Growing Moringa is one of the best plants for your health and vitality. Beginning with a root gives you Moringa to eat much sooner than starting with a seed. We recommend starting with root stock wherever summers are short. Your Moringa growing season is the same as tomatoes and cucumbers.

We always wait until we see that they are thriving as our growing season usually begins in June due to our climate. We ship only the year old Moringa root. This way we can be confident that they will thrive. When Moringa Yearlings go through a winter they form a protective bark or skin similar to ginger. This makes them very hardy. We cut the tops off and ship.
Grow Moringa for vitality and longevity. Experience the Moringa Benefits for you and your family.

Happy Planting!

In addition to our Moringa Projects Around the World Webinar, we will be offering our How to Grow the Most Nutritious Moringa Webinar the following day. This is our three part series condensed into one webinar. It will be very nutrient dense! Join us!

Why Moringa? From the personal, community, to global level, Moringa has the ability to transform our health, perhaps in more ways than you realize. Over the past 24 years we have seen countless examples of why Moringa is called the Miracle Tree.

And here we are, after all of this time, still in awe of what this tree is capable of. In these times we are living in, the role that Moringa has to play in the healing of our world, has only become more clear.

We, as a human race have become severely undernourished. Our soil is depleted. Therefore, no matter how healthy we are trying to eat, we still find we are lacking.

Initially, our quest was to find the most nutritious plant on the planet. We then realized, just because a plant has the capability to contain these nutrients, does not mean that it does.

This goes for Moringa, as well as all foods. Like we have said so many times, if the nutrition is not in the soil, it’s not in the food. If you’re going to go through all of this trouble to grow your own food, how do you know that it’s actually nutrient dense? The answer is in the soil.

Join us for our Free Moringa Webinar - How to Grow the Most Nutritious Moringa, where we will dive into these topics and more.

June 25th
7-9PM PST

On the 18th of April we celebrated National Moringa Day here in Sri Lanka. It was such a successful and inspirational day for us all.

We planted 9 Moringa trees. The Minister of Agriculture, Sisira Jayakudy, and Mariko planted the first tree together commemorating the day and imbedding their Moringa Intention into the land.

We prepared Moringa hummus and Moringa Milk Rice for the celebration meal. It was a huge success.

We were also offered 50 acres to grow Moringa! The Minister has asked for a list of what we need for the Moringa Vision for Sri Lanka. This was more evidence of his support and confidence in our work.

We rushed from that event to Dama’s land in Trincomalee where our first Sri Lanka Training began the next morning.

Every day has been filled with one amazing miracle after another.

So much gratitude from Sri Lanka

Mariko and Dama

To celebrate Earth Day this weekend, we have our Moringa Spagyric on sale! At checkout you will have the option to select a dropper top or a spray top.

If you haven’t tried the Moringa Spagyric, this will be a great time to. This is the product that we want all of our customers to become familiar with. It is truly a full spectrum and bio-available form of plant extraction.

We are familiar with a tincture, where the plant material is soaked in an alcohol solution for a period of time. The Spagyric process begins with an alcohol extraction, but the real alchemical process begins once the tincture extraction is complete.

The plant material that would be disposed of after making a tincture still contains many valuable minerals that are not water soluble. This remaining material then goes through several processes of purification to uncover the mineral crystals within the plant, and make them water soluble.

The mineral salts are then recombined with the original tincture extraction to create a truly potent and whole expression of the plants essence.

Take advantage of this sale and bring this special product into your medicine cabinet! It is our go to especially in times of stress or imbalance. It is great for gentle daily use, but shines when support is needed while traveling, or to help prevent sickness.

Both of our signature Online Courses are now open for enrollment. Our Moringa Ambassador Online Course AND the Grower and Educator Course are beginning March 2nd. We would love to have you join us!

For those who are ready to get started with a great in depth course, the Ambassador is for you. For those who are ready to deep dive and take their vision to full fruition, the Growers & Educators course is for you. If you are unsure about which course is for you, dm us or email [email protected].

If you feel called to take the next step on your Moringa journey, let’s begin! Our courses are specially designed to meet you where you are on your journey, and to greatly support your advancement. Our students are all at different stages of experience, skill, clarity, and understanding.

Both courses will run simultaneously. The Ambassador course will end after 5 weeks and the Grower and Educator continues on for 3 more weeks. It was a great experience when we did this the last time.

The added benefit of these courses will be that the live updates will be when I am traveling. I will be in Malaysia for the last live update for the Ambassador course. I will be in Sri Lanka for the last live update. I will be conducting the In-Person course there! You will meet our students and see how their Moringa Vision has been unfolding.

There is so much work to be done around the world. What will your Moringa Journey be? Join us in the Worldwide Moringa Movement.

Join us for a free webinar this week, Moringa’s Nutrition and Use in Daily Diet. Mariko will present an in depth nutrition breakdown, as well as recipe ideas.

Why Moringa? From the personal, community, to global level, Moringa has the ability to transform our health, perhaps in more ways than you realize. Over the past 26 years we have seen countless examples of why Moringa is called the Miracle Tree. And here we are, after all of this time, still in awe of what this tree is capable of.

In these times we are living in, the role that Moringa has to play in the healing of our world, has only become more clear. We, as a human race have become severely undernourished. Our soil is depleted. Therefore, no matter how healthy we are trying to eat, we still find we are lacking essential nutrition.

Initially, our quest was to find the most nutritious plant on the planet. But first people have to know how much nutrition it really has and how to add it to everyday meals. You will be so amazed when I show you how much Nutrition there is in Moringa. That will motivate you to find all the ways to add it to your daily food.

I’ll also be giving you ideas and tips on putting Moringa in your foods, drinks, desserts, and teas. You will receive recipes from the Moringalicious Cookbook just released by the world renowned Mohana Gill, winner of Best n the World, 1st Place in Food and Nature and Best in the World 4th Place for Creativity and Innovation.

Join us and have your questions answered. Recording will be sent to all registrants. Link in comments to register!

Join us for another Oyster Mushroom Workshop coming up in March. It’s been a year now of teaming up with Dennis for these Mushroom Workshops, and wow, it has been endlessly fascinating. We are present for every one, and we are always learning something new.

Dennis is truly a wealth of knowledge and we are so happy to be getting it out to our community! If you haven’t attended yet, we highly recommend the Oyster class. Oysters are a great introductory Mushroom to work with. We’ve had some great harvests from the kits we’ve made.

Growing Oyster Mushrooms at home can be fun and rewarding. It is not as difficult as most people think. Oyster mushrooms are one of the easiest mushrooms to grow. With the right details you can be successful in growing your own mushrooms.

We are so happy to have our dear friend, Dennis Sharmahd share his deep knowledge and experience growing and teaching people how to grow mushrooms. From his many years of experience, he has easy and practical ways to grow mushrooms for success.

We also have an ulterior motive for teaching people to grow mushrooms. It is a great way to get fungi into your soil. Once you harvest your mushrooms, you can bury the substrate at the base of your Moringa trees. Fungi helps build the diversity in the soil and adds to the nutrient cycling, thereby improving your soil quality.


The class covers the following topics:

-The basics of mushroom cultivation.
-What substrates you can use.
-How to process the substrate and how to pasteurize it.
-What containers work best.
-How to inoculate the substrate.
-How to create or find a space to “fruit” your mushrooms.

We will also have a cook and taste demonstration, and some refreshments. Come dressed for the farm. Warm layers, and perhaps some mud friendly shoes.

*You will go home with a small Mushroom Kit to grow your own Oyster Mushrooms

We hope that your Winter dreams have been warm and comforting, for those with us in the Northern Hemisphere. As we step into a new calendar year, we embrace the tranquility and introspection that Winter naturally brings. The simple pleasures of warm meals and beverages form an integral part of this healing time.

In regards to Winter support, we are sharing a recipe for our Moringa Hot Cocoa, as well as a special gift. With every order of Leaf Powder (8oz or 16oz) you will receive a free 1oz bag of Cocoa, so you can recreate your own Moringa Hot Cocoa at home. Link in comments to order. Enjoy 🌿.

✨Winter Dreaming Moringa Hot Cocoa✨

Ingredients:

1tsp Cocoa Powder
1/4tsp Moringa Leaf Powder
1tbsp Coconut Cream or Creamer of choice
1tsp Maple Syrup or Sweetener of choice
2 Cups Boiling Water
Dash of Cinnamon Powder

Instructions:

Combine all ingredients in a small mixing bowl with a spout if possible, adding the water last. For best results use a blender, stick blender, or frother. Pour into your favorite mug, and enjoy!

Variations:

A great sweetener alternative we like to use are dates. If you’d like to try this, you can add 1/2 to one whole date to your recipe in place of the sweetener. With this variation you’ll definitely need a blender. Blend and then strain into your mug. Feel free to experiment with this, increasing or decreasing the measurements, to create something that you love.
