BLUE ICE™ Fermented Cod Liver Oil
Many of the great historical cultures had one sacred food which they relied on to ensure strong mind, body, and spirit: Fermented fish/fish liver oil. The Mighty Roman Soldier was given a daily ration of fermented fish oil. The Stoic Scandinavian Viking had a drum of fermenting cod livers outside the door of his home. Grandma always had a bottle of cod liver oil in the back cupboard.

Other Market News
Coffee is back on the market! JavaGenesis is back from vacation in Turkey!
Thank you again to Ruth from Back In Time farm for sampling delicious chicken sausages at the market this Tuesday! I received lots of great feedback! Their sausages are listed on the market weekly if you would like to order.
Raw Goat Milk from Lil Tots Estate is back on the market!!
Fry Farm - Many of you were asking about Fry Farm at last week's market. Here's a note from Vicky on what's going on at the farm right now: "We are doing great. We have been working hard to get things ready for Spring. We have spinach, celery, green onions, kale and carrots growing and should be ready in about 3 or 4 weeks depending on the weather. Everything is growing very slow this time of year.
I'm starting transplants in the greenhouse. The weather this past week makes me want rush outside and start planting but it is still too early for most things. I just planted dill, parsley, cilantro, onions, fava beans and cress. It's always a gamble planting this early.
We hope to be back on the market soon."
SALE! Jun (Probiotic Drink)
Cultured Traditions has put some of their Jun probiotic drinks on SALE. This particular batch was over-fermented and a little more sour and fizzy compared to previous batches. Fermentation is an art and can vary from batch to batch so if you like slightly sour and fizzy this perfect for you!
I personally have taste tested these flavors against a batch that I previous bought a couple of weeks ago and they all taste great but the fruit flavor was not as pronounced. I actually prefer more sour and fizzy and sometimes leave my Jun on the counter for a day to get this effect. Feel free to stock up!!! The sale will end once all of this batch is sold out.
Look for the SALE!!! $3 – Jun – *a little overfermented- slightly more sour and fizzy in the Fermented / Probiotic Foods section on market or search for sale in our handy search field on the website to easily locate them.
Please note that the flavors that are priced at $5 are from the previous batch that was not effected and will not be discounted.
What is Jun? Have you heard of Kombucha? If you have, I call it Kombucha's cousin. It's a probiotic drink similar to kombucha except the SCOBY culture feeds off local, raw honey instead of organic sugar. Also, Jun is made with usually with green tea where kombucha is brewed often with black tea. Both are great and I drink both but glad I have access to locally made Jun at the market!
If you have never tried Jun, this sale is a great way to try it out at a discounted price!
Thank you in advance for your support!

Benefits of Fermented Cod Liver Oil (FCLO)
What can you potentially expect from consuming adequate dosages of fermented cod liver oil? This list is quite extensive and includes:
- Promotes healthy cholesterol levels
- Supports tooth and bone health
- Acts as a systemic anti-inflammatory
- Helps manage ADHD symptoms
- Helps stabilize mood disorders (bi-polar, depression, etc)
- Prevents formation of atherosclerotic plaque
- Reduces symptoms of arthritis (rheumatoid and osteoarthritis)
- Promotes mental health
- Promotes healthy hormonal balance
- Supports health of hair, skin, and nails
- Reduces skin conditions (acne, eczema)
- Helps reduce asthma
- Reduces breast cancer risk
- Helps lower risk of type 1 diabetes when used in the first year of life
Dosage based on Weston A. Price guidelines: The high-vitamin fermented cod liver oil is sold as a food so does not contain vitamin levels on the label. However, after numerous tests, the approximate values of A and D have been ascertained at 1900 IU vitamin A per mL and 390 IU vitamin D per mL. Thus 1 teaspoon of high-vitamin fermented cod liver oil contains 9500 IU vitamin A and 1950 IU vitamin D, a ratio of about 5:1.
Based on these values, the dosage for the high-vitamin fermented cod liver oil is provided as follows:
- Children age 3 months to 12 years: 1/2 teaspoon or 2.5 mL, providing 4750 IU vitamin A and 975 IU vitamin D.
- Children over 12 years and adults: 1 teaspoon or 10 capsules, providing 9500 IU vitamin A and 1950 IU vitamin D.
- Pregnant and nursing women: 2 teaspoons or 20 capsules, providing 19,000 IU vitamin A and 3900 IU vitamin D.
Please note that the fermented cod liver oil contains many co-factors that may enhance the body’s uptake and usage of vitamins A and D; in fact, many have reported results equivalent to those obtained from high-vitamin cod liver oil with half the recommended dose, that is ¼ teaspoon or 1.25 mL for children age 3 months to 12 years; ½ teaspoon or 5 capsules for children over 12 years and adults; and 1 teaspoon or 10 capsules for pregnant and nursing women.
I’ve been taking Green Pasture FLCO since October 2011 and I can honestly say that I have seen an improvement in my own health. My hair, nails, and teeth are stronger than when I didn't take FCLO. My skin feels and looks better. I used to have small bumps on my upper arms and they have virtually disappeared. My hormone level seems more even and no extreme mood swings. My HDL (good cholesterol) is very high. My son thinks it’s helped him learn how to read when he was younger! He has never had a cavity! He loves it and actually requests it. My husband and daughter, on the other hand, take it only because they know it’s good for them but don't complain. Another thing I've noticed, because I'm a mom, is my family is rarely sick. This could be attributed to many factors but I do feel, especially in the winter, the Vitamin D and Vitamin A helps our immune system. One member told me her vision has improved since taking FCLO. Another member said it helped remineralized her teeth and reversed tooth decay and I've experienced that too.
If you have a testimony you’d like to share, please let me know. I’d love to know how others in our co-op have seen the benefits of taking this wonderful product!
