Dear Eco-Herbalista Readers,

It is with mixed emotions that we share our news that we have decided to say goodbye to the blogosphere world of Eco-Herbalista to pursue other professional opportunities. We are extremely grateful for your dedication and encouragement over this last year as the Herbalista’s wrote, shared, and dreamed about living in a healthy, green and sustainable world.

Jill is planting her roots and fulfilling her passion of working and counseling individuals and families at her new practice, Holistic Family Nutrition, at The Pacific Wellness Center located at 4841 Soquel Drive, Soquel, CA 95073. She can be reached by phone at 831-239-1021, by email at jill@jilltroderman.com, or by visiting her new website www.jilltroderman.com where she will continue to share articles, nutrition news, and recipes.

Elizabeth is continuing her work as a marketing communications consultant & events planner. Her new website, GrassRootzCafe.com, will serve as a venue for sharing vision, resources and information to build more sustainable local community. She can be reached by email at elizabeth@grassrootzcafe.com or at 831-462-1043. Please keep in touch!

We have thoroughly enjoyed blogging and sharing our words with you, our valued readers, and sincerely hope you continue to follow us as we continue the work on behalf of environmental and personal wellness.

We are both currently taking new clients and would be appreciative of your referrals.

Blessings,

Jill Troderman and Elizabeth Borelli

Passing these off as the real deal might sound like a long-shot, but once you get past the nerd factor, you’ll discover a dish alongside which plain old French fries pale.
