| Berlin Natural Bakery was established in 1986 and is located in Berlin, Ohio, in the heart of Amish Country. Berlin Natural Bakery originally produced breads made from both wheat and spelt. Over the years, they found the spelt grain to be so superior to wheat, that they discontinued their wheat line altogether. Their bakery is 100% wheat free. This proved to be beneficial in two ways. It completely eliminated any chance of cross contamination with wheat, and allowed them to focus their energy on the research and development of additional spelt products. Their product line lincludes several varieties of spelt breads, hamburger and hot dog buns, rolls, breadsticks, crackers and cookies! For more information on all the health benefits of spelt, visit their webiste at www.berlinnaturalbakery.com.

 The Grain & Salt Society is a company that encourages total mind and body wellness; they are proud to bring you Celtic Sea Salt®, a living salt that contains over 80 trace minerals that are vital for total health. The story of Celtic Sea Salt® began thousands of years ago, when the Celts discovered a way to harvest salt from the ocean using the sun, the wind, and shallow clay ponds. Pristine ocean channels spiral water into the concentrating ponds. The live flowing mixture is carefully stirred by the salt farmer, and dazzling crystals form and are gathered by hand. The ionizing action of the clay, combined with the artisan’s skillful method, passed down through generations, enlivens the unique, bioavailable array of trace elements that exist in a perfectly balanced matrix. Then as now, Celtic Sea Salt® is unparalleled in the world. Less than 1% of the world’s salt harvest has the artisinal quality of Celtic Sea Salt®. Pure, moist, biologically active, and free from any chemicals or additives, Celtic Sea Salt® is salt the way it is meant to be. Please visit their website at www.celticseasalt.com. |

 Nature's Acres, located in Berlin, Ohio, produces pastured eggs on their family farm. Their hens roam in pastures and enjoy green grass, fresh air and sunshine. "Pastured" means the hens are actually in the meadow, while "Free Range" is only having access to an outside yard (which rapidly turns into a dirt lot). At Nature's Acres their "hen house" on wheels is moved daily to a fresh spot in the pasture ensuring fresh sanitary greens every morning. By rotating the hens around, it gives the grass a chance to grow back and thus provides a continuous, lush pasture for the hens.
The pasture at Nature's Acres contains a diversity of grass species and clovers offering their livestock a broad "salad bar" to choose from. On their family farm, they feel it is important to work closely with and mimic nature, going beyon the organic standards of production. |
