Our family's enterprise is to aid others in their quest for optimum health through nutrition. We provide families with the resources to discover how wholesome food can produce wellness and a more energetic life. Most of our families home school their children, so they appreciate the economy and health benefits of whole foods.
Our recommended books give you information regarding the food you need and the 'know how' to prepare them. LAUREL'S KITCHEN BREAD BOOK, a Guide to Whole-Grain Bread making, is 427 pages of luscious bread recipes for every taste. WHOLE FOOD FACTS identifies the nutritional value of each food item. KID SMART is a practical guide to childhood nutrition ~ helpful tips for common childhood ailments, and recipes for future cooks. THE AMAZING WHEAT BOOK & video set, includes an endless number of ideas for using wheat and a section on homemade seasoning mixes. COUNTRY BEANS, also included on the video, teaches you how to combine grains & beans in most everything you cook, creating a complete protein. THE FLAX COOKBOOK explains the unique qualities of flax & includes over 80 recipes using flaxseed & flax oil. We also have available two other books which I highly recommend. For the families who want to not only buy in bulk, but also learn how to cook in bulk, study MEGA COOKING by Jill Bond. *HEARTH AND HOME is an incredible home ec curriculum, everyone's favorite!!! Maureen Salaman's 1000 page volume, ALL YOUR HEALTH QUESTIONS ANSWERED NATURALLY, is a literal encyclopedia on healing through daily diet and nutrients, discussing 100 different ailments. These three booklets can be ordered as a set or individually ~~ SUPER BREAKFAST CEREALS will motivate you to make luscious hot cereals and smoothies for your family at a fraction of the cost of commercial cereals. WONDER FOOD SPELT is a wealth of info regarding the marvelous qualities of spelt, along with many recipes. I was amazed!!
To round out our book selection, check out Sue Gregg's home ec curriculum, *BAKING WITH WHOLE GRAINS. Sue, a 'kitchen scientist & prolific author,' teaches us to transition from the typical American diet to the life-saving alternative, preparing and eating whole foods. Sue also recommends NOURISHING TRADITIONS which challenges politically correct nutrition. Sally Fallon researched traditional cultural dietary patterns that helped people over the centuries. Learn to get back to the basics, balancing all the food groups in their proper form. These timeless eating patterns still work today.
We attribute our family's good health to whole grains, natural ingredients, and mostly God's goodness. To share with others, we teach bread-making classes. In 2-3 hours we make bread, pizza, cinnamon rolls and hot cereal using the Bosch Universal and Grain Mills. As a refresher course, we recorded this class on CD-ROM and give it to anyone who purchases a machine.
Since 1993, we've supplied Alaskan homes with Grain Mills, Bosch Kitchen Machines, and whole grains from Wheat Montana Farms. Twice a year, we publish our WHOLY LIVING newsletter...recipes, helpful hints, etc ... along with our price list and coop ordering information. We consolidate the orders and call when your order can be picked up, usually within a month. We deliver directly to Fairbanks, Juneau, the Copper Valley, & the Peninsula. We also mail out to Bush communities.
Recently, I found a wonderful mill that attaches to the Bosch Kitchen Machine. The FAMILY GRAIN MILL produces fine & coarse flour with very little dust or noise. The ROLLER/FLAKER ATTACHMENT transforms grain into 'quick oats' texture for hot cereal, cookies, etc. For those families without electricity, these are available with a hand base so you can 'mill and roll your own.'
If your ILP includes topics such as home economics, nutrition, or health, let us supply information, curriculum, and/or equipment to fulfill these educational needs.
