Nutiva's Hempshake™ Launch Party will present music,
exotic dance, and delicious shakes.

Your taste buds will buzz when you experience the
three new HempShake™ flavors to be sampled at a launch
party at Ojai’s Farmer and the Cook café this
Saturday, April 29, from noon to seven p.m.

“We worked so hard to create the HempShake™ that the
idea of throwing a fun party to celebrate seems
perfect,” said Nutiva Founder and CEO John W. Roulac.
The new powdered organic shakes are available in
Chocolate, Berry Pomegranate, and Amazon Açai. They
contain nourishing superfoods such as hempseed,
blueberries, pomegranates, açai and goji berries, maca
root, and ramon nuts—rich not only in protein but in
fiber, minerals, antioxidants, and healthful fatty
acids.

The party will feature exotic dancers, including
Ojai’s own Jo-Ann Terry, music by Nathan McEuen and
friends, DJ Toby Tune, and other acts to be announced.
Among the special guests will be performance artist
Johnny Fonteyn; urban activist “Seed Lady of Watts,”
Anna Marie Carter; and Steve Levine, President of the
Hemp Industry Association. 

Besides sampling the hemp shakes, party guests will
enjoy salads and desserts made with hemp oil and
hempseed. This is also a bon voyage party for Roulac,
who is about to depart on a tour of the company’s
American retailers.

The Farmer and the Cook, an all-organic store and café
at 339 W. El Roblar Drive (one mile west of Hwy 33) in
the Meiners Oaks area of Ojai, is co-owned by Steve
Sprinkel, Acres USA eco-ag columnist and a 30-year
veteran of organic farming.
