· The differences between juicing, blending and eating whole produce.
· The benefits that can be obtained by juicing.
· The different types of juicers and their differences.
· The best juicer to purchase.
· The types of produce you should juice.
· The best places in Las Vegas to purchase organic produce for juicing.
· And much more...

John Kohler has been a raw, plant based diet since 1995; he turned to juicing and healthy eating for healing from a life threatening-illness (spinal meningitis) and has enjoyed dynamic health ever since. The focus of his research has beenin the area of obtaining the highest level of health. One of John’s goals is to educate the world about the power of eating a diet rich in fresh fruits and vegetables. John also owns and manages www.discountjuicers.com and is the number one expert on juicers in the world. He is widely sought out and regularly speaks and instructs at many health festivals and events. This is a rare opportunity to hear John speak in person in Las Vegas, most of his teaching now days is done online - John has over 1100 videos on YouTube that teach about raw foods, juicing and gardening, that have been viewed over 11 million times!

Local Lamb and Beef

Hi Everyone

It's TIME TO ORDER YOUR GRASS FED BEEF AND LAMB

We are taking orders for more lamb and beef from our partnered rancher in Northern Nevada. Many of you have asked if you can order a 1/4 , 1/2, or full cuts. The answer is YES. But, I'll need to let the rancher know by the end of this month.

We just received our supply of fresh / frozen of both at our Cowboy Trail Farm. We have received all the various cuts such as lamb chops, ground lamb, breakfast sausage, roasts, beef steaks, roasts, and ribs, and ground beef.

Call us before you head out to purchase so we can pull and reserve the cuts you request. All packages are in one pound increments, except for the roasts. The costs will vary and I will quote you when you call to reserve you order. Average costs are $8 / $10 per pound and up.

If you prefer to order a 1/4 of the beef or lamb, you will save more.

Call me to reserve your order or if you have any questions.

Thanks,

Marilyn / Cowboy Trail Farms
