Beyond Organic Food Tastings Is Organic Really Organic? And What Does "Beyond Organic" Mean?

Jordan Rubin, founder of Garden of Life supplements and author of "The Maker's Diet" started a new company called Beyond Organic. This new venture takes us to his 8,000 acre ranch in Missouri and teaches us how his food and dairy products not only differ but excel from standard organic food and beverages. Please join Anne Worth and Ivy Talaga as they give details and will have available a tasting of Greens Fed Beef, Probiotic Kefirs, Really Raw Cheeses, Dark Chocolate with Flax Seeds, and more! Beyond Organic Food Tastings will be held at Basics Co-op on 2 dates in January: Tuesday, January 3rd from 10am-3pm (during the Super Tuesday Sale!) & Saturday, January 21st in the Community Room from 10:30am-12pm. As Jordan says, "Change Your Diet...Change Your Life...Change Your World!"
