Sources for Foods and Herbals - by SnowDropHerbals

Today, I want to share with you places I have found for reputable, 'Good for YOU',  Food, Herbs, & Supplements - these sources are all online... YAY convenience!

These are my go-to places for items that here, are simply too expensive in the local stores, and really help us out as a family. We grow a lot of our own vegetables and herbs of course, but it is not possible to always have what is needed, and Mother Nature loves to be capricious which can impact our garden .....

SnowDropHerbals refer clients to these places as well. They help with the transition, and offerings are great, tasty  and can make life easier on the food front.

It is still not standard nor easy to find Grass Fed meats, Gluten Free, etc for many on a local level. I am sad to state even our local Farmers Market rarely has  my favorite go-to produce, preserves or plants, and we are high up in the Colorado Rockies, near Pikes Peak! 

Here's to the growing trend that Farmers change back over to real food!! Believe me, every week last year I attended the Market, hopeful, and asked about this,  and out of 100+ stalls, only 2 had  offerings we will eat. Ga, I was disappointed. So, I turned to the internet to fill the holes our garden cannot fill.

As my daughters and I all have Mitochondrial Dysfunction, and lots of lovely MTHFR et all Genes, as well as chemical sensitivity now, it is important for us to continue with our current trend. It WORKS.

We made this lifestyle decision based on optimal food, herbs, and supplements, that work best for us on an enzyme level, and to assist our GI healing. In the Wellness consults I provide via SnowDropHerbals, the same practice is applied, with great results!

I know, it is hard to switch from the modern, in-a-box (with a huge ingredient list that cannot be pronounced!) diet, laden with bad fats, fake sugar, and gluten just to name a few....To a low Carb, healthy and Preservative-free one. Harder still, when locally prices are through the roof, or the foods just are not available. So, below is a list of websites I at times buy from. Many offer free shipping, most give discounts, and all have something to recommend them. Note, please, do continue to read labels and avoid that which you are not comfortable using! These are recommendations only, but may help you find the foods  you need, supplements, or herbals you want.
