A CLEANSE PROGRAM BY CAF? GRATITUDE
Eating clean is easy.
To cleanse does not mean to diet. It means to detox, refine, and rejuvenate. However, the word “cleanse” has become intimidating and scary, because it now associates its meaning with deprivation and restriction.
With this misinterpretation in mind, we chose to develop our cleanse concept based on this simple truth: Eating clean is easy and furthermore, is a tangible and enjoyable lifestyle that promotes one’s vitality, health and well-being. It restores both the mind and body not only through what we consume, but through love, acceptance, gratitude, worth, creation, abundance and generosity.
Meal Plan1 day: $60
3 days: $180
5 days: $300
A daily menu of teas, juices, elixirs, raw salads and smoothies for those interested in returning to an all organic diet, those who want to restore their health, or for those who are curious about how it feels to live a plant-based lifestyle.
Our accessible Meal Plan consists of some of our most popular menu offerings, all packaged into a day’s worth of nutrient-dense food and drink.
Juice Plan1 day: $60
3 days: $180
5 days: $300
A curated detox plan made up of cold-pressed juice blends and supplements for experienced cleansers. Juices are packaged in bottles, so you can carry them with you throughout your day. We’ve formulated both our Juice Plan to include specialized
supplements to further support your cleansing experience. Each supplement is both 100% organic and vegan, and aid the body in digestion, immune support, metal extraction and clarity of mind.

WHY SOIL MATTERS:
REGENERATIVE AGRICULTURE
After 8 years of living in San Francisco to birth Cafe Gratitude,Terces and I decided we'd try our hand at farming. We were led to 21 acres of fertile soil in Pleasants Valley, Ca. near Vacaville. We called our new mission, Be Love Farm. Our intention has been to create a place where our community practices stewardship of both our earth and our hearts. With a fair dose of beginners mind we set off to grow nutrient dense fruits and vegetables for our cafes.
In 2009, Shankar Venkataramen, an engineer with more enthusiasm for vegetables then software showed up at our gate ready for a new chapter in his life. I suggested he buy the prune orchard down the road and we'd could farm together.
Seven days later it was done.
Be Love Farm and Hillview Organics is an ongoing experiment in regenerative agriculture or carbon farming. This means using agriculture, partnering with the plant kingdom, to drawdown the excess carbon in the
atmosphere and capture it in soil humus in order to stabilize the climate and reverse ocean acidification and desertification. We have a motto,
“Annuals, under the protection of trees, with the redemption of grasses". This means that we sow our annuals ( plants that grow only one season) amongst trees ( for their soil stabilizing, cooling, evaporation cutting,
nutrient dredging powers) and rotate our annuals with perennial grasses ( for their soil building, carbon sequestering, livestock feeding , water holding powers). We keep the earth as covered and undisturbed as possible, continually looking for ways to shift to more perennial production systems. Shankar's passion is for vegetables, at Be Love we focus more on trees, together we produce an A (Asiago) to Z (Zinfandel) cornucopia of foods including 50 varieties of vegetables, fruits, nut, olives, eggs, honey, etc. We delivery twice a week to the Los Angeles cafes and once a month the cafes send us 20+ employees to have a nurturing respite at Be Love farm. We are blessed with an abundant life and are thankful to our customers for supporting our enterprises and our path of earth stewardship.&2003-, All Rights Reserved.　　本站发布的所有内容，未经许可，不得转载，详见。影画生活发布原创帖30 且一半以上推送至首页 （帖子复制连接
