Sharing a bit about formulation changes to PF items that contain almond oil. I’ve been using almond oil for all the ointments and oils that I make for years because it’s a great neutral oil and absorbs nicely on skin. But I can’t ignore the fact that almond farming is contributing to water usage issues and to massive bee kill-off through heavy use of pesticides, as well as other factors involved that affect pollinators. I don’t want to get preachy here but if you drink almond milk, it may be time to question just what almond farming entails. Olive oil will replace almond oil in all formulations, starting with the Venus oil and mugwort ointment, so you may notice slight color and scent variations. I still have some items on hand that were prepared before I decided to switch to olive oil, so I’ll update listings as I phase almond oil out. Thank you for continuing to support PF as I strive to craft sustainable ritual supplies that honor plants and animals. #sustainablewitch #animism #varroamite #almondfarming #waterrights #bees #pollinators #witchesofinstagram https://www.instagram.com/p/CNu2FwSHCY2/?igshid=18935rf9edl81

Outtakes from a recent assignment for The Wall Street Journal on the economic impact of drought on California farmers. "California is gripped in severe drought just four years after emerging from the last one, forcing many farmers to scramble to find enough water. The U.S. Bureau of Reclamation has cut the water allocations for many to zero this year. Local businesspeople and researchers say the economic ripple effects will be felt throughout California’s Central Valley at the same time much of the nation is recovering from the downturn tied to the Covid-19 pandemic. In 2014-2015, during the depths of the last drought, total farm-related losses in California totaled $5 billion and 20,000 farm hands lost their jobs, according to estimates by the Center for Watershed Sciences at the University of California, Davis." https://www.wsj.com/articles/drought-imperils-economy-in-californias-farm-country-11621589407?st=enr0yc9vwpwrsju&reflink=desktopwebshare_permalink#comments_sector

Looking for true raw unpasteurized almonds?! I have been ordering fresh almonds from a California farm call Capay Hills Orchard. They are a family owned almond farm that offer a high quality product and impeccable customer service. Why not buy them directly from the farm? Taste the difference! Fast shipping and great communication from a live person! You can also read the difference between raw unpasteurized almonds on their site. You will be surprised by what you read! This is why I started to buy directly from the farms. They are currently only on FB or you can find them linked to my Almond Recipe Link Here: http://www.imagineolives.com/vegan-branch/vegan-recipe-reviews/easy-raw-almond-recipes/ #vegan #veganrecipe #almonds #rawalmonds #california #farms #almondfarmer #almondmilk #almondbutter #almondflour #yummy #fresh #tastethedifference #tryit #worthit #supportfarmers (at Esparto, California)
