Hi there,

I just wanted to say that my fiancé and I love your products. My fiancé is one of those rare folks who literally is allergic to anything and everything including soy, any gluten products (flour, bread, pasta), chicken, seafood, dairy, eggs, MSG, the list goes on. Up until recently, we really hit our end with what he can eat other than beef and veggies/fruit. A couple days ago we found your Hemp Bliss organic hempmilk. Oh my god, he can eat it and it won’t kill him. I know this seems so over the top but if you look at all the things he is allergic to it really doesn't leave much to eat. I can’t say how amazing this product is to find and how awesome he now feels knowing he can make pancakes, eat cereal, drink a glass of milk etc. So we just want to say thanks!

Thanks again!
Seriously devoted fans of Hemp.
Jenevieve and Justin

Hemp Fuelled Filmmaker, Ezra Soiferman

Portrait of Ezra Soiferman

by Dan Rinsch, 8/06, Los Angeles
Hometown:Montreal, Canada
Birthdate: April 13, 1972
Sign: Hemp Nut

Ez Sez:
In addition to making films and TV shows, I am also an avid street photographer (with over 25,000 images in my archive), songwriter (currently working on my fourth country-folk CD: this one a collaboration with my old friend Dylan Silverstein), poem-jotter, drawing-drawer, Ez Sez blogger and I’m also known as a bit of an idea guy. Back in the day, I was Bialik High School Student Council co-president as well as Yiddish valedictorian.

Ez Accolades:
To date, my film and TV productions have played at over 30 film festivals worldwide and have appeared on outlets including CBC, CBC Newsworld, CTV, RDI, Société Radio-Canada, Global, TV5-France, TVOntario, CBC Country Canada, National Geographic, Life Network Canada, Air Canada, NFB Citizenshift and Oprah.
In 2004, I co-founded and served as co-director of the Montreal Film Group, an active networking group now comprising over 1000 Montreal film and TV industry producers, directors, animators, actors, technicians and more.
In 2007, I was hired by the Pop Montreal music festival to co-produce Film Pop, its film festival division that takes place each October.
I am currently also serving as the Director of CinemaSpace and ArtLounge, the upcoming 77-seat HD screening room and lounge at Montreal’s Segal Centre for the Performing Arts at The Saidye.
In early 2007, I created Hemp For The Homeless, a philanthropic/ecological endeavour that distributed 50 ‘Hemp Help Kits’ (hemp tote bags filled with hemp food, beauty products and clothing) to various homeless shelters and homeless individuals on the streets of Montreal. The project - generously supported in part by Manitoba Harvest - was profiled by CBC radio and the Montreal Gazette.

Ez eats:
Ezra is known to enjoy a tablespoon of organic Manitoba Harvest hemp seed oil in his morning orange juice; shelled hemp seeds (hemp nuts) in his ‘super-organical Ez-concoction’ custom breakfast cereal mix; Vanilla or Original Hemp Bliss hempmilk in said cereal concoction; Hemp Bliss in his organic herbal teas; shelled hemp seeds on his salads and sandwiches and last but-ter not least:  delicious Manitoba Harvest hemp seed butter on hot, fresh Montreal bagels or on the city’s best organic multigrain sourdough bread from his beloved local co-op.

Manitoba Harvest would like to share a secret with you.
Good bodycare is not hard to find.

At Pangea Organics the belief is that taking great care of your skin means understanding what you put on it.  Especially since most of what goes on your body, makes its way into your body.  The good, the bad and the ugly.  So Pangea has created bodycare that doesn’t just smell nice, it is nice. 

Meaning, everything IN Pangea products will always be listed ON them so you know exactly what you’re purchasing and putting on your body.  That said, you will absolutely never find any questionable ingredients in our products.  No petrochemicals or parabens, GMOs or other harmful or synthetic ingredients. 

What you will find is…Manitoba Harvest organic hemp seed oil. Manitoba Harvest provides Pangea Organics with organic hemp seed oil for their long lasting, aromatic, healing bar soaps and luscious, creamy lip balms (coming this summer).

Pangea uses only plant-based ingredients like Organic Hemp Seed Oil from Manitoba Harvest that nurture you and nourish your skin.  Who wants the fake stuff when you can have the real thing?
