Raw Almond Update: well, well, well...it seeeeeems that potentially things could shift again soon for the almond growers in California... The farmers won an appeal court victory against the decision to pasteurise all California almonds...and the Cornucopia Institute will soon be presenting evidence on behalf of the almond growers, including taking to court a petition with over 26,000 people worldwide asking to be able to purchase California raw almonds again... The Cornucopia Institute would LOVE for even more people to sign this petition for food freedom, to help make their case even stronger as they go back to court - if you haven't already signed this petition and would love to, just click HERE and get on board - it takes less than a minute to add your voice and be heard - THANKS :)

All love and reflections of joy,
