| Raised On Sunshine We hope you're able to spend time with mom today, if not in person at least in spirit. To all of the mothers out there, we say "thank you"! Thank you for your tireless dedication, generosity, discipline, encouragement, grace and love, and for knowing the appropriate measure of each depending on the moment — Happy Mother's Day! Sunshine is a vital element of farming. It's especially true if you want to raise healthy, nutritious foods. Sunshine is also one of the many important resources for a healthy body and mind. Over the last few months, most people have spent far more time in-doors. We'd encourage you to stay safe, but make sure you're getting enough sunshine in your day. A little bit of sunlight can brighten your mood and allows your body to manufacture vitamin D. For those not able to get outside, consider adding some foods to your diet. Fatty seafoods, beef liver, eggs, and mushrooms contain vitamin D. If you still think you're lacking, it might be time to supplement. We have a line of neutraceuticals that are intended to support the body with vital nutrients. This week, Dr. Mercola gives us a thorough education on vitamin D and how it can affect our gut health.
