As I was traveling through the Patagonia, AZ area last month I ran into some friends that worked at Vivapura. I was then invited by the owners Chris and Chris, to swing by and check out their operations.

They produce extremly high quality superfoods, everything from coconut oil to bee pollen to everything in between. I was blown away the integrity of their product, and the delicious taste as well. The bee pollen tasted out of this world, and instantly reminded me of eating Captain Crunch cereal when I was a kid. What a delicious treat. It had an absolutely crisp texture that pops in your mouth with a wonderful delicate, sweet flavor.

So whats so special about Vivapura's products? Here are just a few examples...

Vivapura Stone-ground Butters
Their nut butters, cacao paste, and coconut cremé products are stone-ground for hours, sometimes days, to get that smooth consistent texture while maintain the food's life-force.

Bee (Jarrah Tree) Pollen
Their bee pollen is ethically hand-harvested by the aboriginal descendants. From a million acre natural preserve of Jarrah trees - no conventional agricultural or environmental contaminants to affect the bees and the trees they pollinate. It comes from a pure-strain pollen - from a single plant species. It is this quality that makes it tolerable by many who are historically allergic to bee pollen. Specially dried, completely removing all moisture - this helps retain all the nutrients in their highest state. And... you don't have to refrigerate it either.

Cocopura Chaparral Coconut Oil
Their hand-pressed Cocopura Coconut Oil is ceremoniously infused with wild crafted Chaparral leaves from natural hot springs in the wild desert of Arizona (where I just got back from my Eden retreat from).  Coconut oil and Chaparral are perfect alchemical compliments that yield a powerful healing balm.  They both contain high anti-bacterial and anti-fungal properties as well as are classic skin and hair rejuvenators.  Cocopura Chaparral infused Coconut Oil offers a rare and potent combination of healing properties.

Above all, their uncompromising criteria include:
Raw: Dried and prepared at living temperatures (under 115˚ degrees F) that preserve all their enzymes, vitamins, minerals and unique healing properties.
Organic: They only carry organically grown foods. In many cases products are wild-harvested.
Ethical: Harvested & prepared, including such standards as vegan, fair trade and environmentally supportive.

This is how they are leading the way...

Their commitment to Sustainable Business:
They support sustainable business on a global level; socially, economically, and environmentally. Many of their foods are sourced from rural indigenous co-operatives. By paying fair wages, they support socially responsible community dynamics by providing economic opportunities in local regions. This gives economic value to intact ecosystems, ensuring their continued preservation.

Their commitment to the Environment:
Everything from their packaging to their re-purposed office chairs are selected to maintain the smallest eco-footprint.  They insist on using only the most earth friendly packaging - non-leeching plastic and glass jars are 100% recyclable, and paper bags are lined with a 100% biodegradable vegetable cellulose packaging.
Their production warehouse is sustainably maintained using only natural, non-toxic cleaning products and re-purposed furnishings.
