VIRGIN COCONUT OIL PINTS: BUY 1 GET 1 FREE ENDS SUNDAY!

Tropical Traditions is the premiere brand of Virgin Coconut Oil sold in the

United States and around the world. Brian and Marianita Shilhavy were the first

ones to export Virgin Coconut Oil from the Philippines in 2001, and bring it to

the US market. It is certified organic according to strict USDA standards, and

it is still made the traditional way by family producers and farmers.

Independent laboratory analysis shows this to be one of the highest quality

coconut oils on the market, with the highest levels of antioxidants. From now

until Sunday October 7th, you can purchase 1 pint of certified organic Virgin

Coconut Oil from Tropical Traditions at the retail price of $25.00 and get the

second one FREE! Order here:

Our Skin Exfoliators are made with the base of our organic Virgin Coconut Oil

and organic Virgin Palm Oil, with the addition of organic Jojoba oil, sea salt

appearance of wrinkles. We have an unscented variety as well as a Lavender and

Citrus-Mint variety. Now, until Sunday October 7th only, you can buy one jar at

36% OFF WHOLE CHICKENS ENDS SUNDAY!

What makes Tropical Traditions Pastured Poultry different from other chickens?

 

1. Tropical Traditions Pastured Poultry are raised outdoors on pasture.

Commercially produced chickens are raised entirely indoors with tens of

thousands of other chickens in close quarters. They typically never see the sun

or pasture. Organic or " Free Range " chickens also have no standard definition or

industry guidelines for how long chickens must be outdoors on pasture, leaving

the consumer very confused. The USDA definition of " free-range " is rather vague.

In order to label their meat and poultry " free-range or free-roaming " ,

" Producers must demonstrate to the Agency that the poultry has been allowed

access to the outside. " (1) No mention of vegetation (pasture) is made. Poultry

producers themselves seem to have no common standards on what the term means.

Some producers interpret " access to the outside " as a small pop-door (chicken

door) on an end-wall of a 100 ft. long shed filled with un-caged birds moving

about freely on a litter-covered floor. Others feel they are compliant with the

spirit of free-range if their birds are outside in the open air and under the

sun; even if their " range " is simply bare dirt.

 

When it comes to the consumer's perception of " free-range " , arguably the vision

that " free-range " most often conjures is of a bird happily hunting and pecking

in the grass in an open field. Because of the wholesomeness associated with the

term " organic " , many consumers take for granted that all certified organic

poultry raised for meat and eggs are raised outside on green pasture. Sadly,

this is not so. The term " free-range " is not even listed in the NOP (National

Organic Program) " terms defined. " (2) They do give guidelines that say: " All

organically raised animals must have access to the outdoors... " (3) So when

someone purchases poultry products labeled " free range " or " organic " , the birds

may never have actually seen the light of day or green grass its entire life.

Technically, they simply have to have a door out of their confinement, but they

don't have to necessarily walk through that door to meet the requirements.

 

2. Tropical Traditions pastured poultry are fed CocofeedTM which contains no

soy.

 

CocofeedTM is an organic chicken-feed ration developed by Tropical Traditions

that contains coconut pulp as well as other high-quality natural ingredients.

The coconut pulp is the residue left over after coconut oil has been extracted

from the coconut meat. CocofeedTM contains NO soy.

 

In tropical cultures, coconut has been a traditional ingredient in chicken feed

for hundreds, if not thousands of years. The coconut pulp residue left over

after coconut oil was extracted from the coconut meat is still a common animal

feed component today in places where coconuts grow. This coconut pulp is high in

fiber and protein. Mechanically extracted coconut pulp was also approved by the

FDA as an animal feed and listed in the AAFCO (Association of American Feed

Control Officials, Official Publication) as early as 1955. While coconut cannot

supply ALL the nutritional needs of chickens, there are multitudes of studies

that have been done in the Philippines and elsewhere showing how coconut pulp

can be a major component of chicken feeds when combined with other quality

ingredients. Some of these studies are more than 50 years old.

 

In more recent history, with the development of fast-growing " broiler " factory

chickens, soy has become a key ingredient in chicken feeds for the purpose of

supplying a high concentration of protein to promote fast growth. It is very

difficult to find a chicken in the US market today that has not been fed high

soy-based feeds. Even chickens advertised as " organic " or " free range " are

almost always fed an organic mixture high in soybeans.

 

Independent laboratory tests have shown that Tropical Traditions pastured

poultry chickens raised on CocofeedTM contain lauric acid, which is also found

in coconut oil and human breast milk.

 

3. Tropical Traditions pastured poultry are raised by family farmers.

 

Tropical Traditions Pastured Poultry chickens are all raised by family farmers.

These farmers run diversified farms practicing sustainable agriculture. They

will rotate tracts of land with crops and other animals, or let it go fallow

from time to time. When a batch of chickens is raised on a piece of pasture,

typically that pasture will not see chickens again for two or more years. In the

interval, crops may be grown in that pasture, or it may go fallow allowing grass

to grow, die, and decompose so that the soil is kept in balance and not

contaminated from too much chicken manure. So when you buy Tropical Traditions

pastured poultry, you are supporting small-scale family farmers and by-passing

the system that produces the conventional " factory chicken. "

 

Now, through Sunday October 7th only, you can save 36% off of our retail price

for 3 whole chickens averaging 4 lbs. each. This special limited time price is

also $15.00 off of our normal sale price!

 

NOTE: These are summer 2007 chickens that have just recently been processed!
