INTENTION

ChocolaTree is a sanctuary where each Being can nurture their Authenticity

VISION

We see a world of natural beauty where every child is born into a domain of clean air, pure water & their very own garden growing fresh foods in a splendid paradise!

We all play a part in nurturing this Vision together as we make conscious choices that honor ourselves, the planet and each other.  

OUR VISION LIVED

Each dish is created using 100% organic, vibrant foods, gluten-free and entirely home made.

We do this because the health and vitality of the Earth and all of Her creatures is very important to us. It is for this reason that we create each dish in celebration for this divine experience in gratitude for Earth’s abundant gifts made possible by each element: Earth, Water, Fire, Air, and Spirit

From growing to harvesting, sourcing, preparing, and delivering this nutritious delicious food, we aspire to be present to life’s bounty, and invite you, too, to play in the world of plenty. Our specially selected ingredients are often locally grown including from our on-site garden which hosts many of our herbs.

The items that we source outside of our gardens are treated carefully, upon arrival to ChocolaTree. Nuts and seeds gather life force energy germinating in polar, geomagnetic ocean minerals. Everything is created with local artesian well water & megaH.

Each item on our menu is created from scratch by food Magicians who uphold the highest integrity and abundance of all for the sake of the ingredients, our planet, and your bodies.

We have created an atmosphere where integral philosophies are put into play for you to experience for yourself, at our restaurant in Sedona, Arizona and online store. 

When creating our packaged raw foods, we keep the temperature below 115 degrees and everything is packaged speedily to assure freshness and high vibrational love still intact when we serve or ship it to you.

Here are a few ways ChocolaTree Upholds its Vision. 

• We source 100% Organic or Wildcrafted produce. All of our seeds, nuts, vegetables, herbs, spices, sea veggies, everything!
• 95% of our menu is seasonal, based on what is available locally. If we cant get it within 3 states bordering Arizona, we don't serve it or we source directly from the most integral supplier. We take into account the "travel miles" organic food undergoes to arrive at its destination. For instance an organic apple flown from Chili might taste and look the same as an organic apple grown in our neighboring Verde Valley however considering the impact of the airplane fuel, packaging etc., sourcing the Chilean apple does not fit into our vision. Therefore we opt to support local growers as much as possible.
• The water we use in preparing our foods is an artesian spring fed source free of chlorine or fluoride, just pure water.
• We begin the germination process of our seeds and nuts in this artesian water to assure optimal digestion of the foods we prepare.
• When sourcing our superfoods such as cacao and maca which grow in other than the local area we work directly with the small farms planting the seeds themselves and nurturing the plants as they grow. Always fairly traded.
• When available we source wild-crafted produce including goji berries, chaga and reishi mushrooms.
• Our entire line of packaging and such is 100% recyclable, or omnidegradable and/or at least 80% post-consumer recycled, & FSC Certified*. Including our chocolate bags, to-go containers, toilet paper, hand towels, paper napkins, labels, carry out bags, business cards, advertising materials, printed menus, everything! "Recycled" often still means virgin material was used - please demand higher integrity in labeling!
• Our take away foods and cold press juice are packaged in glass, not plastic!
• Our shipping materials are reused and reusable. We even use the backs of our labels for padding instead of buying packing peanuts.
• Our printing paper is 100% post-consumer recycled. We minimize printed promotions and send out online newsletters instead! We never use styrofoam! We use reusable ice packs.
• We source locally made honey from small bee farms that never feed their bees corn syrup.
• Our marketplace is filled with a variety of ecologically and sustainably sourced crafts, supplements, body care and foods that meet our rigorous integrity standards.
• We have planted our own small food forest at ChocolaTree and offer regular garden forums for free to assist others in planting.
• Our garden is planted in a unique way to honor the respectful ways of Anastasia.
• We have voluntarily planted several other small food forests in the area including a small orchard at the Divine Grace Yoga Ashram in 2019.
• In 2023 we planted our homestead garden, home to over 3 dozen fruit and nut trees and about 1/3 acre of produce. 
• We compost every bit of food waste, either feeding it to homestead animals or turning it into soil. 
• We only use natural cleaning products and never use chlorine bleach as it is the #1 worst "cleaning" chemical upon our precious planet therefore it really does not clean.
• There is a selection of handcrafted goods in our marketplace sourced from indigenous tribes that we work directly with. Including tribes in Ecuador and Colombia, Quechua and Huichol people.
• Our coffee is grown in the Heart of the World in La Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta, Colombia and over 72% of the proceeds are given back to the Peoples for strengthening spiritual and cultural values in La Sierra.
• Café A'Mía brings coffee into the world as a sacred element interacting with peoples through spiritual and cultural content shared by the peoples who cultivate to help raise levels of awareness of Humanity's "sacred place in Nature" and its inherent connection to the Earth Mother - all Elemental Beings that sustain life on the Planet. Also, increases sustainability in those cultivating the coffee, and who we work with. The coffee is instrumental in bridging pre-ancient wisdom and the modern world. Café A'Mía also helps with a shift in the industry towards greater care of the Earth and the peoples thru educational messages.
• And last but not least, we proudly support ecologically based companies when sourcing goods for our marketplace and online store to continue to support all of life through sourcing the highest integrity products that strive to nourish life through the offerings that they bring forth.   

Garden Sanctuary

A happy garden grows healthy trees, vines, flowers, veggies, fruits, berries and herbs, and during growing and harvest seasons, our garden at ChocolaTree is in full flourish.

We have planted Apples, Pears, Almonds, Pistachios, Figs, Peaches, Kiwis, Many Berries, Goji, Raspberry, Blueberry, Golden Raspberry, Blackberry and Strawberries. Since the garden was first seeded in 2006 we hold events in the garden and education forums on gardening, motherhood, sacred land stewardship and more.

For the most optimal growth we regularly apply effective microorganisms to assure they have all the helpful bacteria for their enrichment. We plant organic and heirloom to continue to honor the natural ways. Feel free to read, play, sing, meditate in our sacred garden oasis.

Another fun fact about out garden is, when we harvest the bounty, we reserve about 25% of everything to the insects, birds and animals. How do we do this? We communicate with them, and respectfully leave any fruits that have been claimed by some other critter. What we have found is that if we uphold our end of the bargain they do as well. So its really quite a harmonious opportunity to be in balance with the other members of our nature community rather than battling with them. 

In 2022 we began gardening on our homestead land in Cornville Arizona. We have started a pedagogical garden here on about 1 acre of the property so far. The land had been flood irrigated pasture grazing land for the past 40+ years. To date, now fall 2023, we have planted a small biodiverse paradise with the intention of hosting children's groups and locals that wish to connect with nature through a vegetable, fruit, grain and seed garden right here in Verde Valley.
