ORGANIC FOODS:

1. Los Pablanos Organics: 

PO Box 7715, Albuquerque, New Mexico 87194

 get directions to the farm

Community Supported Agriculture, or CSA, is a special relationship that a farmer, or a group of farmers, engages in with his or her local consumers. Members of the community sign up in advance for a “share” of all the fruits, vegetables, and flowers that a farmer will produce in a given season. Members of the CSA then either come to the farm once a week to pick up their “share” of the bounty, select to pick the box up at a location close to the member’s home, or can now select to have the produce delivered to their home or office.

By working within a network of certified Organic regional growers, we are able to opperate our CSA on a year round basis. So you will always have access to the freshest fruits and vegetables available.

Each member also has the flexibility to select how many weeks he/she would like to participate.Furthermore, if a full Harvest Box is too much food each week, a member can opt to have a box prepared every other week for them. Los Poblanos is an educational, fun, and convenient way for you to support a local farm and enjoy top-quality produce.
 

2.  ANCIENT ORGANICS  - The Best Organic Ghee

We recommend to all our patients to use organic ghee for all their cooking needs instead of butter.  Ghee has many health benefits and we teach our clients how to make Ghee at home.  But like most of us, with our busy schedules, taking time to make Ghee can be difficult.  Therefore, we have searched and reviewed all the Ghee manufacturers in the U.S. and found one that has met all our standards of quality and purity and now we can recommend this Ghee to our patients.  If you are in ABQ, you can pick up a bottle at Sanjevani or you can click on the link and order from them directly.  

Ghee does NOT raise lipids and thus is a great benefit for those who have heart disease.  It also can be used for those who are lactose intolerant and have milk sensitivities. It also has a great taste and can be used in all reciepes that call for the use of butter or oils.  Peter Malakoff, the owner and founde of Ancient Organics, is the real deal when it comes to making Ghee.  They have chosen the #1 rated best organic farm for source of the butter and also only make the Ghee on the full or waxing moon according to the Vedic texts and use the specific mantras during the processing of the Ghee.  We could not have asked for more!  If you have not tried Ghee before then this is a must.  If you have tried ghee before, then this will change your mind on how much better Ghee can be.  Here is a link to a short video on YouTube on how they make the Ghee:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HpKce5HAg3s

RESTAURANTS:

1.  Dahlia's Central Mexican Cuisine:  

2003 Southern Blvd SE, Rio Rancho, NM 87124 (505) 896-1544

This is the best Mexican restaurant around.  Owner Dalhia is know for her mission of delivering only fresh organic and natural foods.  No chemicals, no processed foods, preservatives, or colors are used.  All her produce is organic. All the meats are free range and delivered daily along with fresh seafood flown from Seattle daily.  Nothing is frozen, thus ensuring freshness and tenderness.  Tortillas and chips are made by hand daily.  

All items are delicious and for those who are vegetarian or vegan, you can make special requests.   We are proud to find a Mexican restaurant that is able to go back to traditional, natural cooking instead of the industrialized and processed foods served in most of the ABQ Mexican restaurant chains.  

Dahlia's husband Jose is the chef.  He's from Jalisco (Guadalajara) and has that unique skill of presenting fresh foods with authentic Central Mexican flavors.  Very inexpensive and good portions.

3.  Annapurna Ayurvedic Cuisine & Chai House

2201 Silver SE, Albuquerque, NM (505) 262-2424

Annapurna is our favorite place for Ayurvedic Cuisine & Chai.  Yoshoda, the owner, is dedicated to providing delicious foods that promotes healing and balance.  Their food is locally grown without chemicals and is always prepared everyday.  It is a great way to learn about which foods go well with you dosha (mind-body constitution or type) according to Ayurvedic Medicine (for those who have had a consultation with Dr. Pai, he will recommend you try certain foods to help balance your body type).  All vegetarian and vegan requests can be made.  Annapurna caters the food for Sanjevani's Panchakarma Program clients.

COMPOUNDING PHARMACY:

1.  Menaual Compounding Pharmacy 

11417 Menaul Blvd NE, Albuquerque, NM 87112 (505) 291-1600. On Menaual Blvd two blocks East of Juan Tabo.

Menaul Compounding Pharmacy delivers the best compounded prescriptions such as bio-identical hormones and other medications.  Farshid, the owner and PharmD, in our opinion is the best compounding pharmacist in the state. His background and expertise in a league of its own.  We recommend Menaul Compounding Pharmacy not only for their expertise but also they have the best prices in ABQ.  They will match any pharmacy or big box store and their personalized service is excellent.  They may not be on every corner like other pharmacies but they also have free city-wide delivery!  Now that is service.  We hope that you will obtain your prescriptions, compounding and general pharmacy needs with Farshid and the rest of the Menaul Compounding Pharmacy staff.  We encourage you to support this locally owned and operated pharmacy.
