Nutrition at the Day Village

I have a great desire to raise my son on living foods -- meaning mostly organic, raw (unprocessed and uncooked), plant-based, whole foods!  Why?  Because I have personally found this high alkaline diet to be the most energizing and healthful food I have ever consumed!  I feel AMAZING eating this way and extremely HEALTHY!  And so naturally, I would like to pass this on to my child!  :)


At the moment at 9 months, my son, Thaddeus, is predominantly fed breast milk as his main (99%+) source of nutrition.  I supplement him for fun on other liquid nourishment here and there, giving him an occasional fresh green juice, coconut water, or home-made nut/seed milk.  So far with me eating a living foods diet and my son consuming mostly breast milk, he is a thriving plump-a-licious baby!

Since children are social by nature and are going to want to do things that "all the other kids are doing," I consider it important to surround him with like-minded families who are raising their children in a similar way.  And so, creating a community around living foods for the children and mothers to enjoy together is a large component to the Continuum Day Village!  In our current village "home" at The Soma Center, we are fortunate to have them offer a wide variety of raw and vegan foods.  This certainly helps us all to eat nutritiously and deliciously!


My long-term goal for the Day Village is to be located on my future property where my home and village would coincide... location still to be determined.  I desire to plant a garden of veggies, greens, and herbs, along with some fruit trees.  Together we would learn about growing our own food, and would create a sustainable, fun, and affordable way of feeding ourselves!  I would like to incorporate "Edible Forest Gardening" that I have been so fortunate to learn about just briefly from Walter 'Shantree' Kacera on the Raw Mom Summit!  Check out his awesome interview for FREE for 24 hours starting at 9pm EST on December 9th!  Also available for the next 24 hours are interviews from Victoria Boutenko, Dr. Doug Graham, and our very own village mama, Andrea Nison!!!!!!!!!!
