Cashews, Coffee, and natural insect repellant sticks, coils, and 'mats'. All products are from the eco-villages and spiritual communities of Auroville, India, and Findhorn, Scotland. Our best-seller is 100% natural Spirulina -- very healthy algae rich in vitamins, minerals, essential fatty acids and extremely high complete protein content. For more information and serving suggestions in English please follow this link, and for information in Chinese click here.
By buying these products you will support Auroville community financially, and also their efforts to treat workers fairly and cut out the use of pesticide.
On a personal note, when I stayed in Auroville in 1999 my family and I were staying near Cashew nut trees and were sprayed with DDT and endosulfan and we all came down with fevers and headaches. It was very scary. In fact the company we buy cashews from 'Auroannam' was set up by a Doctor there who got so fed up with dealing with the symptoms that he decided to put his energies into promoting organic agriculture instead.
If you prefer not to buy online but like bricks and mortar stores, drop us a line let us know where you live, and we'll tell you where the nearest shop is to you.

Raw Organic Wild Grown Hand Peeled Cacao
The Cacao trees that spread across Bali’s lush western mountains grow wild and free... the heritage of Balinese “food forest” cultivation. Nature and volcanic soil tend the cacao’s nutritional needs and as harvest time approaches, villagers arrive to unburden the heavily weighted limbs. Fruits the color of majestic sunsets are piled in heaps and finely honed blades chop the fruits in two. The seeds, covered in fragrant, sweet meat, are allowed to naturally ferment under banana leaves before being washed, sun-dried and hand-peeled. The resulting Raw “Nib” of Cacao is as healthy and energy producing as it is delicious! All cacao products are raw, organice, wild grown and hand peeled. When sweetened, organic palm sugar is used.

Cacao Nibs, or broken segments (1 pound/454g)
