Recently we teamed up with Local First, a local engine for connecting people, businesses, resources, and missions here in Durango, Colorado. They asked some great questions and we thought that you might be interested in the answers as well.

They inquired the following:

1. What inspired the creation of Sarvaa Organics
2. What makes Sarvaa's formulas unique
3. How do our products reflect our commitment to sustainability and health
4. What does community mean to us as a brand and as individuals
5. What are Sarvaa's hopes and what role do we see businesses playing in the future of wellness

Our answers are as follows:

What inspired the creation of Sarvaa Organics?

Inspiration is the key word here. We believe that what really breathes life into a business is the people behind it. And for Sarvaa, it all started with Derek Van Atta and Joshua Hoffman’s journeys to health.

After years of suffering from autoimmune disease and running into so many dead ends with allopathic medicine, we were graciously reminded that our bodies can heal from almost anything when we reintroduced a higher leverage, nutrient dense lifestyle back into our daily routine.

By simply reintroducing organic whole foods into our diets, we began a journey of rebuilding our microbiome, getting out in nature, and getting better quality exercise. This grew into remembering that family and friends and play and music and joy are also nutrients and medicine, so we reintroduced more of those next. Slowly, our tools for healing snowballed, and we began to thrive.

When people started asking what the secret to our vibrancy was the business was born. 

Instantly, we saw a need to share our path with others, because people are really suffering. In the USA, the expected lifespan is shrinking. And, maybe even worse news, is that the quality of daily life that we Americans experience is also atrophying. Chronic illness, cancer, anxiety, immune issues, all are skyrocketing over the last many decades, and especially the last five years.

Healing ourselves was our wake up call. 

In that way Sarvaa was inspired to remind our friends, families, and communities of the healing power of a nutrient rich lifestyle by offering pure superfood formulas and wisdom rich education. In this way we can help others remember their birthright to thrive and help themselves, their families, the soil, the water,

As a result, we’ve developed a business that helps thousands of people a year remove toxic foods from their kitchen, fix their insulin sensitivity, and replace their old habits with new ones that ensure their bodies are healing and the planet is following their lead.

What makes Sarvaa’s superfood blends unique?

We curate these foods out of 100% organic, whole food ingredients. 

Using whole foods is the key, as they contain all of the important phytonutrients and micro and macronutrients our cells need to heal and thrive.

These formulas are 100% allergen free, 100% additive free,  & tested for molds and heavy metals. They’re designed to augment your detox pathways, rebuild your microbiome, and provide the nutrients you need at a cellular level.

Further, we prioritize small farm, small business, single source ingredients providers whenever possible, all with the intention to develop this business model in the future. As Sarvaa grows, so will our ability to make a positive impact.

Lastly, our formulas are hand mixed in small batches, one ingredient at a time, right here in Durango Colorado.

How do your products reflect your commitment to sustainability and health?

Well our products are rooted in the belief that sustainability is health. By committing to using only organic whole foods we are committing to blazing a trail towards a healthier world, we’re doing our part to steer the industry incentives in this direction.

A healthy body requires building a long term relationship with a healthy diet, lifestyle, and environment. When we heal our bodies, we fuel ourselves with energy to cultivate healthier communities and energize healthier relationships with the soil, and the water, and the future.

By using only organic ingredients we fuel industries that require less toxins like pesticides and herbicides, we pour energy and attention onto the fire of not just sustainability but eventual regeneration. But it starts by healing the individual, because we need an army of healthy people to move the mountain of the food industry.

By remembering that healing is a life long path, we fuel long term relationships with everyone from farmers to bankers. This relationship thus orbits around a better common understanding that health is our greater community’s priority  - and sustainability is the natural outcome of this evolution of relationship.

Also, our foods are powdered in raw form, and shelf stable for years. Our food-to-packaging ratio is very high, meaning less plastic use per serving, and way less plastic use over the longterm. Further, when the technology arrives we will be switching to a plastic free alternative (compostable bags still have a long way to go), or purchasing plastic packaging neutralizing technologies that may come out of the bacteria or fungal realms.

Finally, we make annual donations to reforestation projects, and local, high vibrational businesses who are at our side on this journey to making business a source of healing for ourselves and the planet.

What does community mean to you as a brand and as individuals?

We believe that a healthy community is the natural result of a healthy relationship with our body, our spirit, our family, our neighbors, and our planet.

Our entire business model is taprooted in the philosophy the developing healthier long term relationships is the path to change. We believe communities exist at every level. There is the community of your cells, of your microbiome, of your immune system, of your thoughts and emotions, of your immediate family, of your neighbors and onward.

So community is everything, there is no escaping it at any level, and by focusing on developing a healthy relationship with your body and mind, you are healing every community that follows.

This means that Healing your individual body is healing your community and is inevitably healing your world.
