I started Empress Organics in Northern California after attending The Women’s Initiative Business course in San Francisco. Adam and I were researching the nutritional benefits of different nut and seed milks to use as part of a diet for the twins to supplement and eventually replace breast milk. We also wanted to continue to improve foods we were feeding Jana. Hemp is the superior source as one of the most abundant, one of the best quality and easily digestible proteins, an excellent source of healthy fat, and the proportion of EFA’s it has are agreed upon by most nutrition experts to optimally build brain and nerve tissue.

I then developed my infant and toddler formulas to be nutritionally superior to anything found on today’s market. The only remaining challenges are non-local distribution and FDA approval of a raw formula. The ineptitude and prejudice of the FDA is becoming more transparent. If one researches the cleanliness, packaging and additives in meats, poultry, fish, dairy and eggs, it is apparent that a raw hemp milk formula would offer a miniscule risk in comparison.

If you take the time to find out about the ingredients which are not listed on the traditional powdered formulas on the shelf, you will find very dangerous and poisonous additives such as Hexane; an industrial cleaner for factory machinery! See http://www.naturalnews.com/019338.html and http://www.cornucopia.org/2008/01/infant-formula-manufacturers-again-under-ethical-cloud/ I am currently expanding Empress Organics into prepared foods and look forward to future distributions and development of delicious and superiorly nutritious living foods.
