Live From the Field

Spent a good time at Uncle Jimmy’s in Arizona getting everything situated to make our crossing. Kept a sacred fire going during our duration and drank tea with the cool temperatures. The Moon is growing and illuminating our way. We are thankful for time to focus on being a family.

Magic Is Everywhere

Free in the bowl

When out on the road magic seems to just happen. However, magic is everywhere, it is just that while out of comfort zone we are more vulnerable and open to receiving.  It was late at night. We had driven all day and I was super tired.  It was very dark and I chose my exit.  Driving off the highway on to a desolate dark road is daunting.  We are now in the desert. Not sure where. I keep on driving knowing I will find us a good safe place to sleep. Not very long off the highway I pull into a parking lot and park directly in front of a skatepark. We are home for the night.

Enjoying the Ride

Enjoying the Ride

Made our way thru Texas, and into New Mexico.  Enjoying the ride. Keeping it real and letting go at the same time. Finding balance with needs and desires. Releasing what no longer serves us and opening to new beginnings.

Live From The Field

Arriving in Dallas was a bit hectic with the highway system but once seeing Julia and family we were gratefully cared for. Stepping out of my van I immediately see the Believe painting and know that I am on the right path. Being fed good food is becoming a theme of this trip. I call it “Eat, Mantra and Surf”. Once again we are set off with graciousness and blessings to continue on our way.

Heading West from Here

Heading West from Here
A beautiful visit in Pensacola sends us on our way. Starting with a cacao ceremony and ending with a full body massage by Stacey. And in between blessings of all kinds. From here we travel west to find Osheana and Ben. The new moon and new year of the “Hare” begins our adventure.

Live From The Field

Life gets busy. And we rise up. Numbers. Responsibilities. Meetings. Schedules… It all begins to run our minds. We push on through to stay afloat. And then one day… we wonder what it would be like to sit quietly and listen once again to the inner voice. That fire within to chase butterflies and spin in circles. To dance with flowers and taste the Earth. Today, the Ohana tribe sets off to slow down and feel the true strength of spirit within. And taste the sweetness of living.
Follow us on our journey for a quest of chocolate as we reawaken the fire within and seek the sweetness that motivates the soul.

The Neverending Beginning

— A Book from Alison

The Neverending Beginning is a book of adventure with deep meaning and wisdom for children and adults. Princess Ala, young and naive, sets out in search of her prince. Expanding over a decade, she discovers her true passion for surfing and snowboarding. Feeling the freedom, she allows the mountains and oceans to guide her. Mt Crested Butte becomes her greatest teacher, and she looks to this grand mountain as her very own Majesty. Her experiences heighten as wisdom deepens her journey.

Sharing her strengths and openness, Princess Ala proves that the greatest guidance comes from within. Thus, becoming her truth. She is led far and wide in search of, not only “the prince,” but possibly more importantly, true depth and meaning to life. As she grows, her mind expands, and her heart opens. Her eyes take in the far North of Alaska to the Central Americas. Her vision expands as she travels to “the land down under.” The islands of Indonesia give her a whole new look to life. Princess Ala follows her path, which somehow seems laid out before her. Without ever knowing why, she follows the urge inside of her to continue to faraway places in search of what at times, seems unclear. Princess Ala stays connected to family and friends as she embraces love and recognition from new family and friends who enter her life.

Our life in the time of COVID-19

Slow Down and Take a Deep Breath

Sweetwater Baking Company is doing our best to stay clean, healthy, and positive. We’re going above and beyond our everyday practice of cleanliness to frequently disinfect our surroundings—at home and in the bakery. Our staff—which is our family—has been self-quarantined on top of our mountain since early March. We’ve been getting plenty of fresh air and sunshine. Meanwhile, we’ve been working together to make many batches of the food you love!

We plan to continue creating our healthy, hearty, and fresh products for you during these uncertain times, when food may seem sparse. So long as the mail keeps working, we’ll be making and shipping.

We wish you much love and encouragement and urge you to stay safe. Plant seeds and sing songs.

Sincerely,
The Sweetwater family
