Aphrodites milk is great. We use to get Cleopatra’s bath milk, but the Aphrodites is a lot nicer and keeps longer

Thanks for sharing your menu with us Louise. I remember seeing the one on the WAPF website. I was surprised that they weren’t all perfectly adhering to the WAPF guidelines but then realised that it’s not a “diet” it’s a way of life and you need to adopt the changes in a comfortable timeframe.
I bought Nourishing Traditions two or three years ago and I have never looked back. But the changes came about gradually. The latest change for me is taking cod liver oil. I had tried to take it a number of times over the years but found it too strong. Now I mix it with equal parts kombucha (which is quite acid and tart) and follow up with a glass of kombucha and it’s not a problem too me anymore!
It has been relatively easy for me to go off the standard sort of diet because I live in a remote area and my husband and I produce a lot of our own food. I dont’ have to go to the shops that often so those addictive “foods” aren’t in my face every day tempting me.

Hi there, I’m the group co-ordinator for a co-operative of WA farmers who have joined together to market their fully certified organic and biodynamic meat. At present we are only equipped to sell whole animals to butcher shops, a full list can be found on our (soon to be) web site. You can email on organicmeats@iinet.net.au to find a butcher in your local area. We also encourage consumers to get a group of like minded people together and buy your own animal direct form the Co-op, and organise with a butcher of your choice to have them process it for you. Lost of butchers are happy to do so, it is a win/win for them. Our producers are from all over the south of the state (so far), some large, and some very small, this is a way to support these people who are so passionate about what they do, but oftentimes struggle to make a living from it.
Anybody, any questions, please feel free to email me……Donna

hi Jad, I have just found a company called gippsland lean beef (www.gippslandleanbeef.com.au) that pasture feed and do not use antibiotics or growth promotants. They are based near yarram and will deliver your order to you. I have just ordered a pack off of them and i believe it is coming next week. I live in south gippy but i am pretty sure they deliver to the city as well, check out the web site for more info .

Hi lauralee, where abouts do you get your pasture fed beef or organic meats from in victoria out of interest. Ive seen them at places like macro but they are very expensive.
