Goat's Milk Products - Redwood Hill Farm is
located about 60 miles North of San Francisco among the
redwoods of Sonoma County, California. Red Wood Hill Farm has
been producing award-winning goat milk for over thirty years
with the least amount of processing possible. They do not
employ standardization or homogenization to their milks, nor
sugar, coloring, preservatives, stabilizers, or powdered
milks. Redwood Hill Farm does not use antibiotics except in
cases where it is required to save the goats life and then
the milk is discarded until well after the treatments have
finished. No hormones are used to increase milk production.
Aside from premium practices, the actual goats on the ranch
are bred for perfection as well. Redwood Hill Farm holds
National Champions in four out of five competing breeds. All
400 goats even have personal names! Try our new Redwood Hill

BLACK RICE - Black "forbidden rice" is so named because originally, in China, it was considered the Emperor's rice and it was forbidden for anyone else to eat it.
Black rice is one of several black-colored heirloom plants producing rice variants such as Indonesian black rice and Thai Jasmine Black Rice. Black rice is high in nutritional value including iron. Unlike other rice from Asia, it is not glutinous or rough. This grain has a similar amount of fiber to brown rice and like brown rice, has a mild, nutty taste.
According to a study presented at the 240th National Meeting of the American Chemical Society (ACS), "one spoonful of black rice bran contains more anthocyanin antioxidants than a spoonful of blueberries and better yet, black rice offers more fiber and vitamin E antioxidants, but less sugar."
