I came to CaneLand (SugarCaneJuice.org) after spending five years studying nutrition and the economics of foods on different socio-systems.  Also, as a yoga enthusiast, I found reverence for sugar cane’s healing power in age-old medical traditions, including Ayurveda and Traditional Chinese Medicine. Hundreds of our customers have expressed a deep historic and cultural relationship to this rich food.



Ultimately, we recognize the impact of food on the micro level, in the body and the macro level, in the social body.  I am grateful to be part of this movement in practical sustainability and sweet health.

I have been a part of sugarcane for as long as I can remember.  My father, a Belizean native, brought me cane as a child.  He would give me the grassy sticks without cutting them as a challenge.  It would sometimes take me all day to get to the sweetness.   Working with SugarCaneJuice.org is like living a childhood dream where the rare treasure is available by the pint or quart.

As my first name prescribes, I am  Le Cordon Bleu trained chef form the California School of Culinary Arts.  I love developing new ways to use the cane juice.  "Cane Marinated Peach and Avocado Salad" is one of my more interesting recipes.  I also hold an Associate in English, my first book of poetry, “For Lack of Better Words” can be found at http://www.lulu.com/content/

During the Farmer's Market I can be found under a straw hat.  At other times, I switch hats according to mood.  Regardless of the headpiece, I am open to answer questions, hear stories, and meet new people.  See you at the Market.

I moved to California from Connecticut seven years ago. It was at this time I began researching how to holistically approach chronic illnesses by focusing on food and diet.

Working with "Raw Cane Juice" and learning about all the medical benefits that occur in the sugarcane plant naturally has greatly added to my studies. Experimenting with the cane in my own diet as a replacement of sugar and as a supplement of vitamins and minerals and in the diets of friends and customers battling with specific health needs ranging from arthritis, skin issues, ulcers, severe digestive problems, and menopause has been an amazing, rewarding experience.
 
Sugar cane juice is not a native health drink to the United States. It is however, very common in many other countries (Puerto Rico, Brazil, China, India, Vietnam, Cuba, etc.). Being a part of a company who's mission  is to make this essential beverage a household name here in America has been a great privilege. Que Viva la revolucíon!
