Hi Kelly .. thanks for starting this discussion. It will be so helpful to everyone here.

I too, purchase products from Michael Hayman at Pure Wellbeing. He also supplies a few of his products to Commonsense Organics in Wellington and The Organic Grocer (www.theorganicgrocer.co.nz).

You can also purchase young drinking coconuts from www.vitalessence.co.nz. They are based in Auckland and get a new shipment in every few months. If you register with them they will send you an email when they have a supply and it is first in first served (they go pretty quick). I am, however, very exicted that you have found a local source .. awesome !!

If I think of anything else I will post again. I look forward to us all sharing our resources!!!

Luv Chris

I did manage to find some untoasted nori at commonsense in wellington. I don't think it specifically said raw on it though.

Maybe not in New Zealand but there is another online shop in Australia their freight is not too bad either. They also stock raw nori which I find impossible to find here.

Have not had any problems yet, but they are very creative discribing the products...

Just sharing another great resource. About 18 months ago I was blessed to meet Mayatiita of Prana Sprouts. Since then he has been supplying me with organic wheatgrass (to my door) weekly,and now grows living salads and sprouts as well. He is truly passionate about living foods/horticulture and puts a lot of love into everything he grows. Currently he doesn't have a website, but If you are in the greater Wellington area and wish to have your own supply of fresh organic wheatgrass, etc delivered you can contact him at pranasprouts@clear.net.nz

Would I ever. I just bought a dehydrator though, so I'll have to save up for a wheatgrass juicer before I can contemplate a visit from Mayatiita.

I am jealous!! gives me an idea tho to find out who supplies the wheatgrass to the ReLoad juice and salad bars here in chch .... they seem to be the only ones offering fresh wheatgrass now. NZ Natural used to do it, but they have stopped, apparently due to the quality of the wheatgrass ...

Here in Chch i get quite a bit from Pikos Wholefoods - lots of organic, and the whole range of foods. am planning a big order to Pure Wellbeing very soon ... and i also use Healthpost for some items. Have been getting my maca from them, but Pure Wellbeing has maca cheaper. Healthpost also have organic powdered barleygrass, MSM and a wide range of supplements etc. they turn around email orders through their website, usually within a day or two, for just $3 shipping/courier. www.healthpost.co.nz

Wow, that is great news about the coconuts. I wonder if I can get someone to do that in New Plymouth. Are they heat treated or irradiated when they come into NZ? It seems that MAF is very keen on heat treating many foods.

I just found Larabars for sale at the Health 2000 shop in the Guthrey Centre in Christchurch. They are raw fruit and nut bars in various flavours.
