MegaFood Partners With Organic Valley
Here at the Herbal Path, we love MegaFood, because they are a high-quality, whole food supplement company right here in New Hampshire. We also love Organic Valley, because their half-and-half adds delicious flavor to our coffee. So we were excited to hear these two great companies have teamed up!
MegaFood is very proud to announce it has partnered with Organic Valley as a Farm Fresh Partner to buy organic broccoli, cabbage and carrots to craft our FoodState concentrates!! Organic Valley is the largest cooperative of organic farmers in the United States, based out of LaFarge, Wisconsin. What began as a group of family farms selling their produce soon expanded into the production and local distribution of vegetables, and dairy products. Today, Organic Valley is the nation’s largest, independent cooperative of organic family farmers and one of the largest producers and distributors of organic produce (in season), dairy, soy, and eggs. Organic Valley comprises 1332 farmer-owners located in 32 states and one Canadian province that specialize in sustainable, organic agriculture practices. The cooperative network of over 1,300 family farms that now make up Organic Valley’s production base are located throughout the midwest and the continental United States, and range from farms supported by multiple families to small, family owned-and-operated farms. The mission of Organic Valley is to save family farming culture through organic farming and distribute the highest quality organic food in the nation.

Recommended Viewing
We’ve recommended this site before, back in 2009 (we even showed the video in the store on Earth Day!), but it’s worth a second look.
The main attraction over at StoryOfStuff.org is “a 20-minute web-film that explores the often hidden environmental and social consequences of America’s love affair with its stuff.”
I love this video. Annie has a very approachable style and presents things in a fun, interesting way. Once you’ve watched the original video, complete with fantastic line drawing animations, I definitely recommend continuing on to the other offerings.

Herbal Path Named Chico Bag Retailer of the Month!
RETAILER OF THE MONTH
The Herbal Path Welcomes Bag Monster® to New Hampshire
“Recently we rented a Bag Monster® from the ChicoBag Company to wow our customer base with a brilliant visual of bag debauchery. It was fabulous! We had heads turning left and right and people asking many questions about bag use and plastic pollution….The visual had such an impact on our community and clientele. I suggest anyone who wants to turn heads and continue to get people moving towards a plastic bag-less world should rent one of these Monsters! Thank you ChicoBag™!!”
- May Grose, Assistant Manager

Get A FREE Iced Tea!
This Sunday at the Dover Herbal Path, we will be having a demo and sampling event! Rob’s Really Good Tea will be handing out free samples of their delicious organic iced teas. Even better, if you buy a Rob’s Tea from the store, you will get a FREE bottle from the demonstrator!
TIME: 11 am – 2 pm
PLACE: Dover Herbal Path
GOAL: Cool Refreshing Drinks!
I love Rob’s Really Good Teas. They are sweetened with organic cane sugar or organic agave nectar (there are also unsweetened varieties).
Every bottle of Rob’s Really Good Teas is inscribed with a message of positive change:
By holding this bottle, you’ve begun a positive journey to attract abundance in your life. The power of thinking positive can draw even more good things to you. Try it. Drink one and allow a simple affirmation to fill your mind.
Repeat each 5 times.
Practice often. You’ll get there.
-I can do anything I set my mind to.
-I keep my thoughts positive.
-Only good comes to me.
Do this every day and attract the positivity of the universe. Rob’s Really Good reminds you that happiness is a choice you make. So pop the top and drink in the abundance.
Shake Well. Think Well.

Out of Stock Notices
Hi there! If you’ve been to the Herbal Path recently, you may have been frustratred to find that some of your favorite products are out of stock. Unfortunately, some of our most popular products are currently unavailable from their suppliers — we can order them, but there simply aren’t any to be had. We are doing our absolute best to get these products back on the shelves as quickly as possible. Until then, please let us know if we can recommend an alternative for you or put your name on a waiting list to be notified once the product is back. We appreciate your understanding!
A few products we’re waiting for:
1. Slice of Life Adult Gummy Multivitamins
The supplier, Hero Nutritionals, estimates these will be back at the end of August.
2. Yummi Bear Organic Gummy Multivitamins for Kids
Same supplier — Hero Nutritionals. These ones are expected to be back at the end of September.
3. Source Naturals Grapefruit Seed Extract
I’m not sure what’s going on with this product — the company doesn’t have an ETA on the product’s return, but they assure me it has not been discontinued.
4. Kombucha
The FDA is still investigating the potential alcohol content of kombucha. At this point, we have no estimated date for its return, although one company was willing to estimate that they would be available again in September.
5. Vita Coco Coconut Water
All flavors and sizes of the Vita Coco are currently unavailable. This time there’s no ingredient issues or FDA investigations, just a higher than expected demand. They should be back in a week or two (hopefully sooner).
