We offer our heartfelt thanks to all of you for supporting the Blossoming Lotus Restaurant and the Lotus Root Juice Bar & Bakery. You make us what we are today: A sustainable, organic, health conscious business of the new millennium.
As such a business, we are employing creative methods to improve and expand within this new business paradigm. We invite you to help us in that process. For $850 you receive a Blossoming Lotus Account with a card, programmed to hold a value of $1000.
That is a 15% discount as a special thank you for your continued support. When you come into either the restaurant or the juice bar with the card, your total purchase is subtracted from your account. The card is as good as cash and can be used to purchase anything in either of our Kauai locations. Convenience at your fingertips.
As an additional gesture of gratitude, the first 50 people who start an account will also receive a signed 4th edition, soft-cover copy of Vegan World Fusion Cuisine - hot off the press this month.
Many of you have already approached us expressing the desire for something of this nature for your own reasons. Here we see all of our needs met in one effective vehicle. The power is back in our hands.
The Blossoming Lotus and The Lotus Root Juice Bar & Bakery are dedicated to serving the Island community healthy eating alternatives as quickly and yummily as possible. The response from our community continues to be an inspiringly positive driving force for us. Open up your Blossoming Lotus Account today and become a player in the new world.

Dave Blume started his ecological training at a young age. He and his father organically grew almost all the food their family ate. This wouldn't be unusual out in a rural setting nowadays, but they did this on a city lot in San Francisco in the mid-sixties!
Dave taught his first ecology class in 1970. He majored in Ecological Biology and Biosystematics at San Francisco State University while doing volunteer fieldwork with a number of non-profits like the Point Reyes Bird Observatory. He put himself through school by teaching backpacking and wildlife biology through open universities during the summers.
Dave then decided it was time to get back to working with the land in a personal way. 1n 1994, he started the community supported agriculture farm, Our Farm. Our Farm was part of the International Institute for Ecological Agriculture (IIEA). This non-profit organization, founded by Dave in 1993, is dedicated to healing the planet while providing the human community with research, education, and the implementation of socially just, ecologically sound, resource conserving forms of agriculture - the basis of all sustainable societies. Dave Blume is currently Executive Director of the IIEA..
More recently, the IIEA held Permaculture Design Courses in 1999-2000 for the Blackfeet Nation of indigenous Americans in Montana. Dave consulted with the tribe on ecological microenterprise, improving the state of the land and the health of the people.
