Kosher certification for hemp products such as extract, tinctures and capsules is a relatively simple, affordable and straightforward process.

EarthKosher Kosher Certification Agency is todays leader in providing kosher certification to small natural food companies. Together we can provide kosher consumers with healthy, natural and local choices- that are as good for you, as they taste! One of these amazing and inspiring companies is Pacific Pickle Works. EarthKosher provides kosher certification to a dozen all natural, hand packed products from Pacific Pickle Works: Bloody Mary Elixir, Bread and Buddhas, Carriots of Fire, Cukarambas, Fenn Shui, Jalabeanos, Michelada Shrub, Mother’s Puckers, Pickle Brine, Stokra and Unbeetables.
Since 2001, Bradley Bennett has been making his spicy blend of pickles for friends and family from his kitchen in Santa Barbara, California. Now he has created Pacific Pickle Works so that you can enjoy them too!
Pacific Pickle Works pickles are all-natural and hand-crafted in Santa Barbara, California using produce grown from California. Our “West Coast” style of spicy pickles have been known to convert many non-pickle eaters into pickle lovers after their first pickle! We have several varieties to choose from – the original favorite crunchy spicy spears, pickled beans… and for the adventurous, try the ‘Unbeetable’ beets or our ‘Fenn Shui’ fennel root pickled in rice vinegar with citrus zest, ginger and chile. Be sure to get your hands on one of our pickles or our very popular Bloody Mary Elixir today!
This 3-pack of savory cocktail mixers is a perfect gift, a classy addition to a cocktail party, or a gateway to that bartending career you’ve always wanted. Try all three of our savory cocktail mixers, and spice up your brunch cocktail offerings. Each bottle includes 8oz of mix.
The set includes:
Bloody Mary Elixir: All the flavorful and spicy goodness you need to mix your own delicious Bloody Mary at home. Just add some tomato juice, your spirit of choice, and some of this elixir and you’re all set!
Michelada Shrub: Transport yourself back to that beach in Mexico where you had your first Michelada with this simple tart & spicy mixture. All you need is your favorite Mexican beer or other crisp lager beer and a steady hand to pour it over ice.
Pickle Brine: Perfect for Picklebacks and Pickletinis! What’s a Pickleback you say? Try a shot of Irish whiskey chased by a shot of our Pickle Brine and then you’ll know! Also works for sodium and electrolyte replacement and as a cramp inhibitor during a workout.
Each 8oz bottle is enough mix to make between 8-16 cocktails, depending on the product and how spicy and flavorful you want them. All of our mixers are made from scratch with all natural ingredients.
These dill-icious spicy pickled cucumber quarters make a great accompaniment to a sandwich or can be eaten just straight from the jar! Ever tried a “Pickleback”? Have a shot of Irish whiskey and follow it up with pickle juice chaser – you’ll be amazed at how it kills the burn and warms your mouth right up!
If you are someone who likes a little heat in their pickles, then this is your pick! We don’t make pickles that light your hair on fire, but each of these packs a little bit more heat than your grandma probably prefers. From our spicy garlic pickle spears we call Cukarambas, to our Good Food Award winning spicy pickled green beans cleverly titled Jalabeaños, to our Carriots of Fire (if you were born after 1985 you may need to look this one up) and ending with our Unbeetables, you will get a little heat in every jar.
Don’t take our word on how exciting these hand packed pickles and brines are…

Together, we put the Earth back into Kosher. EarthKosher. |
EarthKosher Kosher Certification Agency has been providing kosher certification to small family owned companies , since 2004. Many of these companies share family secrets, health focused recipes, and heart felt intentions in food production. They wear their company logo with pride- and provide consumers with products that are as delightful to the heart as they are to the tastebuds. EarthKosher is honored to introduce a new company to the EarthKosher Kosher Certification world- Sjaak’s Organic Chocolates! Sjaak’s Organic Chocoaltes are Vegan Verified by EarthKosher, have EarthKosher Kosher Certification, and are certified organic! The varieties of delectable chocolates that Sjaak’s offers is immense- but do yourself a sweet favor, don’t take our word for it- http://www.sjaaks.com.
The Sjaak’s logo is rooted deep in family history. Jacques, the owner and creator of Sjaak’s Organic Chocolates, was born in the Netherlands and grew up next door to the family grain mill. The original wind mill that is represented in the Sjaak’s logo was named Antonius Mollen, a family name to this day. This mill was destroyed in World War II, but it was replaced by a mechanical mill. The tulip in the forefront is iconic of Holland, the largest producers of tulips in the world.
Our Mission
Sjaak’s Organic Chocolates aims to create the highest quality gourmet organic chocolates possible while simultaneously supporting a positive work environment, fair trade practices and encouraging sustainable agriculture through the use of organic, non-GMO ingredients. It is also the goal of Sjaak’s Organic Chocolates to build a socially responsible, profitable business that can be carried on for generations to come.
Vegan
All of Sjaak’s Organic Chocolates are vegan products, including chocolate bars, gift boxes and Holiday treats. This means they contain no animal ingredients, such as milk, butter, eggs, and gelatin. We have created a vegan ‘Melk’ chocolate that that is completely dairy free and is delicious! Even the sugar that we use is non bone char.
Eli’s Earth
Eli’s Earth bars are the result of a long standing dream of ours. We have imagined an amazing chocolate candy bar that not only delights our taste buds, but stands for and does something more. Eli’s Earth Bars are organic and Fair trade which makes them environmentally and socially responsible. They also give back 5% of every sale to a non-profit charitable organization that benefits children because we feel that childhood should embrace joy, delight, and peace. Every child should be entitled to these simple inherent rights. So let us Celebrate™ life, Treasure™ children and always Dream Big™.
Welcome to EarthKosher, Sjaak’s Organic Chocolates.
Together, we put the Earth back into Kosher!

Enjoy living a Deliciously Spicier lifestyle!
The Splendor Garden Retail Brand of Spices, Herbs, and Seasoning blends was started the fall of 2012 after the founder, myself—Colleen Haussecker—had been through a life-changing battle with breast cancer.
Going through the whole cancer experience makes one look at the nutritional value that can be derived from different food sources. In my search to educate myself on the health benefits of different foods, I realized that we were missing out on the huge health benefits that could be derived from spices and herbs by making our meals Deliciously Spicier!
What better way to add antioxidants and extra nutritional benefits to every meal simply by the increased use of spices and herbs.
After my journey through breast cancer and my quest to become healthier, I realized there was a need for a full organic line of spices, herbs, and seasoning blends.
I must admit that I always found myself wanting to cook with more spices and herbs, but never quite knew what spices to use and when. Thus I always ended up adding a bit more salt or sugar or—worse yet—butter to flavour food. (Okay be honest, I’m not alone in this!) However, I discovered that by adding more herbs and spices to my meal preparations I could replace unhealthy ingredients like sugar, salt, and saturated fat. Suddenly meals were more appetizing and more satisfying—with the added bonus of making one less likely to overeat.
Here at Splendor Garden, we want to help you and show you ways to use spices and herbs in your everyday meals. I say this with a smile on my face for we are continuously educating ourselves as well!
You will enjoy being able to come to our website and browse our recipes to easily make your own dips, salad dressings, rubs, and marinades, just to list a few. One of our goals is to impact the obesity epidemic that Canadians are facing by educating and enabling one to make meals Deliciously Spicier!
My love of the food industry birthed a desire to develop a private brand of organic spices and herbs that would show the true Splendor of God’s Garden and thus helping people become healthier by adding that little extra nutrition to each meal by adopting our Deliciously Spicier! motto.
This is how the Retail brand of Organic Spices, Herbs & Seasoning blends came to be.
We hope you enjoy our high quality organic line of spices, herbs, and seasoning blends.

EarthKosher Kosher Certification Agency specializes in providing kosher certification to some of the most visionary new natural food companies. As the leading kosher certification agency in North America, specializing in the natural food industry,
EarthKosher prides itself on offering these companies options with EarthKosher Paleo Certified Certification, and EarthKosher Vegan Verified Certification.
Bubba’s Fine Foods is one of these visionary companies. Bubba’s Fine Foods now has EarthKosher Kosher Certification and is Paleo Certified from EarthKosher. If that isn’t amazing enough, many of Bubba’s Fine Foods products are also EarthKosher Vegan Verified!
Bubba’s Fine Foods originated in 2014 by Jared Menzel, Head Chef, and his brother-in-law, Jeff Schmidgall, Head Peddler. Every bag of our gourmet grain-free snacks is artisan hand-crafted in small batches in the front range of the Colorado Rockies.
Jared, nick-named Bubba as a child, is a self-taught gourmet cook. He had recently started changing his diet to clean, high nutrient, and low glycemic foods. In order to make that happen, he replaced the processed foods that were pantry staples for most of his life. Being the connoisseur of fine foods that he is, Jared found a lot of the clean convenience foods on the market lacking in taste… and especially crunch. So he started experimenting and creating his own clean, real-food snacks in his kitchen.
Jeff, a CrossFit Trainer and Health Coach, had recently transformed his health with a Paleo life-style. While their families vacationed together in the summer of 2014, Jeff fell head-over-heels in love with Jared’s crunchy, grain-free snack mix. Selfishly hoping to simply buy the snack mix to satisfy his new-found addiction, Jeff encouraged Jared to start a business selling the amazing product… and bought a domain name for a future web site right there at the breakfast table.
One month later the first bag of Bubba’s Snack Mix was sold and enjoyed. The rest, as they say, is history…
Bubba’s Fine Foods is a mix of gear-grinding passion and purely intentional ingredients. No filter. No fodder.
Bubba’s Fine Foods has three flavors of ‘Nana Chips available for your pleasurable consumption: Blazing Buffalo, Macho Nacho, & Grand Garlic Parm. Bubba’s Fine Foods UnGranola comes in three tantalizing options (but why choose one): Uber Chocolate, Cinn-ful Apple & Bourbon Vanilla. Bubba’s Fine Foods created a snack mix that is as healthy as it is delicious. The mix comprises of banana chips, cashews and pecans all dressed up in three ways: Original Savory, Righteous Ranch & Smokey Chipotle BBQ.
Food is fuel for your irreplaceable human engine, and we take food-fuel real serious. Our mixes and chips are made of just real stuff with not a trace you can’t pronounce. We don’t even mess with murky “natural flavoring” listings because we believe a person oughta know what they’re eating. We get all of our flavor and fill from real high octane food that grows on plants, trees or in the dirt. Kind of like it was before rockets and race cars.
We believe very strongly that the food you eat should be real, clean and simple… and should taste great. We hope you love Bubba’s as much as we do. Please shop our site, try a bag, and let us know what you think!

Welcome to EarthKosher, together we put the Earth back into Kosher.
EarthKosher prides itself on connecting with small natural food companies, helping to make the kosher certification process both affordable and friendly. What is less well known, is the fact that EarthKosher provides kosher certification to many companies who produce natural home and body products- doTERRA is one of those companies.
Founded in 2008, doTERRA was built on the mission of sharing therapeutic-grade essential oils with the world. Having seen for themselves the incredible benefits that can be had from using these precious resources, a group of health-care and business professionals set out to make this mission a reality. They formed a company and named it doTERRA, a Latin derivative meaning “Gift of the Earth.”
The first hurdle to overcome, however, was to establish a standard of quality in an industry that had never had one. It wasn’t enough to simply provide essential oils to homes around the world; the doTERRA founders were committed to providing only the highest quality and purest essential oils so that families could know with surety that they were using only the best to promote health and wellness for their loved ones. This commitment lead to the creation of a new standard of therapeutic quality: CPTG Certified Pure Therapeutic Grade®.
To achieve such a grand vision as bringing essential oils to the world required a team of dedicated people. This team would need to be made up of people dedicated to hard work, commitment, passion, and vision. That team has grown since its initial inception, but the mission remains the same—to provide essential oils that appeal to everyone from the novice to the expert, and that can be used safely on your loved ones.
Sharing essential oils is a unique experience, and the founders of doTERRA recognized that a sales model just as unique would be needed. In order to best facilitate personal essential oil experiences, doTERRA utilizes a direct selling model that allows distributors to work with customers as opposed to mass marketing. This more individual approach allows individuals to experience for themselves the incredible power of essential oils while also developing relationships of trust. This model also created the opportunity for individuals and families to achieve their dreams of financial independence. Over 2 million Wellness Advocates, now use and sell doTERRA products around the world.
The first offering of doTERRA essential oils included 25 single oils and 10 blends and was introduced for sale on April 25, 2008. Since that time, the doTERRA product offering has added many more single oils and oil blends as well as nutritional, spa, and healthy living products based on essential oil technologies and a comprehensive wellness philosophy. Of course, that offering couldn’t be possible without a Global Botanical Network of artisans and distillers. As doTERRA has become a trusted partner in the essential oils industry, it has also been able to help communities improve their own economic futures through its Co-Impact Sourcing® model and the doTERRA Healing Hands Foundation™.
Based in a state of the art facility in Pleasant Grove, Utah, doTERRA continues to work toward achieving its vision of providing all families everywhere with the health-promoting benefits of essential oils.
When you choose doTERRA, you are choosing essential oils gently and carefully distilled from plants that have been patiently harvested at the perfect moment by experienced growers from around the world for ideal extract composition and efficacy.
Each doTERRA essential oil is also carefully and thoroughly tested using the strict CPTG Certified Pure Therapeutic Grade® quality protocol. Experienced essential oil users will immediately recognize the superior quality standard for naturally safe, purely effective therapeutic-grade doTERRA essential oils.
While there is a science to the distillation of essential oils, it is also an art. Distillers not only rely on years of experience, they also employ modern technologies and techniques.
The most common method of extracting essential oils is a low-heat steam distillation process. In this process, pressurized steam is circulated through plant material. The essential oils are liberated from the plant and carried away by the steam. When the steam cools, the water and oils naturally separate and the oil is collected. To ensure the highest quality oil extract with the correct chemical composition, the temperature and pressure must be closely monitored. Too little heat or pressure and the oil will not release; too much, and the oil’s composition and potency will be affected.
Steam Distillation
Steam distillation is the most common way to extract aromatic compounds (essential oil) from a plant. During the steam distillation process, steam passes through the plant material. The combination of heated steam and gentle pressure causes the essential oil to be released from microscopic protective sacs. As the vapor mixture flows through a condenser and cools, it yields a layer of oil and a layer of water. The essential oil rises to the top and is separated from the hydrosol (floral water) and collected.
Some have asked about the difference between first distillations in comparison to complete distillations. The temperature for steam distilling is usually between 140–212 degrees Fahrenheit. Since different plants require different pressures, times, and temperatures, using this particular distillation method makes it possible to adjust the temperature based on the plant type, making it a very effective and precise way to obtain the purest compounds.
Expression
Unlike steam distillation, expression, sometimes referred to as “cold pressed,” does not involve heat. In this process, oil is extracted from the product under mechanical pressure. doTERRA uses expression to extract all of its citrus oils, such as Wild Orange, Lemon, Lime, Bergamot, and Grapefruit, from the rind.
Proper distillation requires a consideration for the uniqueness of pressure, temperature, time, and harvesting practices, each of which may be as diverse as the plants themselves. A poor distillation process can alter or destroy the necessary aromatic compounds that comprise the essential oil, leaving a substance far different from the intended goal and something that would not be used to support health and wellness. For this reason, the best distillation artisans dedicate their efforts and work to only a few select plants. This focused effort develops proper knowledge and experience, helping ensure congruency between the oil chemistry of the plant and its distilled form.
Corporate Social Responsibility
doTERRA Co-Impact Sourcing®
doTERRA works to improve lives and communities throughout the world. Many of the essential oils offered by doTERRA are sourced in developing countries, where the growers and distillers are often at the mercy of third parties. doTERRA Co-Impact Sourcing helps create coalitions of growers and distillers that ensure local communities receive fair and timely payments to support their families and communities. doTERRA works with these coalitions to provide the resources, tools, and training necessary to ensure a long-lasting partnership.
doTERRA Healing Hands Foundation™
doTERRA focuses philanthropic efforts through the doTERRA Healing Hands Foundation. Its mission is to bring healing and hope to the world, for lives free of disease and poverty, and ultimately to teach impoverished cultures to be self-reliant.
The foundation is supported by contributions from doTERRA independent distributors known as Wellness Advocates, retail and preferred customers, company employees and executives, and others who share our vision. Donations are collected through monthly contributions, one-time contributions, and select product sales. For more information visit Healing Hands.
The Healing Hands Foundation has been involved in many projects, including the following:
Micro-credit loans providing renewable funding for entrepreneurs in developing communities.
Clean water wells and programs.
Building and revitalizing schools and clinics.
Medical equipment and resources for hospitals and clinics.
Education on hygiene and health.
Together, we put the Earth back into Kosher.
EarthKosher Kosher Certification Agency is the leading kosher certification agency specializing in natural and organic food products. We certify over 350 unique companies. Each time we meet a new company, we are not only impressed with the quality, and health value of the product, but also greatly inspired by the dedication and effort of the people behind the products. This dedication begins from the ground up, through watering the seeds of inspiration and ideas thus creating healthy natural products that benefit the environment, the people who enjoy them, local communities- and the earth entire.
EarthKosher wants to extend a warm welcome to one of these amazing companies: The Healthy Crunch Company. Healthy Crunch Artisanal Kale Chips now have kosher certification from EarthKosher, are EarthKosher Vegan Verified and are proudly Canadian- grown and produced in hand -made batches in Toronto, Ontario!
About Healthy Crunch
Eating whole, real food makes you feel good inside and out.
In our humble opinion, The Healthy Crunch Company makes the best artisanal kale snacks on the planet. Our big kale chips are big in flavour, big on crunch and big on love, but the way we make them is small.
Small batches of raw organic local kale are washed and gently massaged by hand in the finest of ingredients, so that they are bursting with tastiness. The kale then goes into the dehydrator to air-dry slowly, so no nutrients are lost. No frying, oven-baking or cooking here, my friend, just super-crunchy deliciousness.
Our mission is to provide satisfying, healthy snacks that fuel the body, mind and soul.
Certified organic, non-GMO, gluten-free, dairy-free, tree-nut-free, peanut-free, vegan, raw and paleo-friendly.
Healthy Crunch Kale Chips come in six scrumptious flavours : Say Cheeze!® Kale Chips, Bollywood Blast® Kale Chips, The Cool Cucumber+ Dill™ Kale Chips, Hello Jalapeño™ Kale Chips, The Big Chipotle™ Kale Chips, Monkey Business™ Kale Chips. Healthy Crunch also created Kale Krumbs, a brilliant way to sprinkle your favourite flavour on just about anything! 
Local Love
We strive to support local farmers and to source as many local ingredients as possible. Everything we use is organic and non-GMO. And we search for the highest-quality products to ensure that we are able to make the best kale chips ever!
Our commitment to supporting local farmers and using local ingredients ensures we leave a small environmental footprint. We love our planet as much as we love our kale chips!
Founder & Chief Crunching Officer
Julie’s love of snacking is unlike any we’ve seen in others. A spirited entrepreneur and total go-getter, she’s always on the move.
To keep up her energy, she fuels herself with high-vibe snacks, chaga tea and, of course, kale chips. It’s the Registered Dietitian in her as well as the fact that she’s a trained chef that makes her love kale. But it was her dismal discovery, several years ago, that there wasn’t a single tasty kale chip on the market that led her to this endeavour of developing her own line of chips. And boy, we’re glad she did!
When Julie is not running the show at The Healthy Crunch Company, she’s cooking up a storm, collecting cookbooks, travelling the world, keeping active or hanging out with the Crunch Pups. Julie has a warmth, kindness and generosity that make her a great colleague to have. She’s fun, open and genuinely strives to create a happy, healthy work environment.
Julie doesn’t have a favourite kale chip flavour. She says it’s like choosing between her babies. But if we peeked into her fridge at any given time, we’d find avocados, lemons/limes, cilantro, cholula hot sauce original and spinach. In Julie’s words, “Popeye was right! Spinach keeps my body strong and happy.”
Healthy Crunch products are available online at www.healthycrunch.com, or at select stores.
Together we are putting the Earth back into Kosher. EarthKosher.
EarthKosher is committed to the natural food industry, in providing down to earth, reliable, affordable and accepted kosher certification. We work with companies who grow from the roots up – with inspiring experiences and seeds of motivation, that weave innovative ideas into healthy products.
Veggie- Go’s is one of these amazing products, by Naked Edge Snacks LLC.
Veggie-Go’s began in January 2011 after returning home to Boulder, Colorado after a year of living, working, and most importantly eating on organic farms in Greece, Italy, Spain, Switzerland and France. We became addicted to the way we were eating on the farms where our diets were made up almost entirely of the fresh, organic produce we were growing.
Upon returning home we were shocked by the American way of eating and what was being called “food”. We decided to take matters into our own hands and create a snack the embodied the fresh, organic produce we were growing; but that also fit into the American on-the-go lifestyle. And thus Veggie-Go’s were born!
Our initial goal was simply to sell Veggie-Go’s at our local farmers market. The response was overwhelmingly positive and our customers encouraged us to try to get Veggie-Go’s into some of the local health food stores. As soon as we did, we quickly realized that we were the only ones putting veggies in a fruit leather. That just added fuel to our fire and ever since we have been working tirelessly to bring Veggie-Go’s to a store near you!
Veggie-Go’s are a healthy snack for everyone!
Here at Veggie-Go’s we believe in healthy snacking! Rather than cutting out your snacking, we feel it is more constructive to use your snacking as a means of improving your health. By choosing Veggie-Go’s for your snack you are adding important vitamins and minerals into your day, all in less than 30 calories and no added sugar!
No Added Sugar! – We don’t add any sweeteners at all! We feel that whole fruits and veggies have the perfect amount of natural sugar. Each strip only has 2-4 grams of sugar, all naturally occurring in the fruits and veggies. Unlike most conventional fruit strips, we do not use any fruit concentrates for added sweetness (these pack in a lot of sugar!).
Organic – Veggie-Go’s are made from only organic fruits and veggies. By only using organic fruits and vegetables we insure that no unwanted pesticides or toxic chemicals are sneaking into your body. When things are dried (like Veggie-Go’s and all fruit strips are), everything in them is concentrated. This includes any pesticides or chemicals. This means that choosing organic is even more important with dried snacks. Another benefit is that organic produce has to use and continually develop its own natural disease defenders (antioxidants) rather than suppressing them when they are protected by pesticides in conventional practices.
Veggie-Go’s are 100% natural. Nothing funny here. We are not “tricking” your body! If it smells like cinnamon, its cinnamon. If it tastes like berries, its berries. Imagine that!
Whole Foods – Veggie-Go’s are made from whole fruits and whole veggies. We puree the whole fruit or veggie so that you are getting all of the goodness nature has to offer.
A truly healthy snack for kids! – Kid’s snacks tend to be loaded with sugar, artificial flavorings and colors. Not Veggie-Go’s! Veggie-Go’s have less than 4g of sugar, all from the fruits and veggies themselves, and never artificial colors or flavors. We think organic fruits and veggies are plenty colorful and flavorful!
Made by picky eaters for picky eaters! – We are such picky eaters that our friends hate eating out with us. They call it picky, we call it passion. Either way we embrace our pickyness and passion for clean eating when selecting ingredients for Veggie-Go’s. That’s why you will find nothing but organic fruits and veggies inside! We challenge anyone to dissect our ingredients becasue we know they will please even the most stringent critic.
Clean Ingredients – Organic veggies. Organic fruits. Period. It doesn’t get much cleaner than that!

At Earth Circle Organics, we believe in giving back. We are proud supporters of the “Let’s Share” project. The purpose of the “Let’s Share” project is to improve the health and well being of farmers and their families by building new bathroom facilities. The bathrooms improve sanitation and provide hot showers. For every 300 tons of chia seed sold, a bathroom will be built for a family. To date, ECO has contributed 188,755 pounds towards this goal.
Together we bring decades of experience in organic and raw foods, natural supplements, and healthy living.Eric Botner founded Earth Circle Organics in 2006, with a few superfoods and a circle of friends. After 20 years in a successful livelihood in the fast-paced wholesale distribution of fruits and vegetables, Eric shifted his focus to raw food and natural living. He began by creating a retreat and vacation property in Northern California, teaching others of the powerful impact of raw and organic foods and vibrant living. Eric gave life to ECO with his passion for organic superfoods and a desire to share with everyone.
