Sarvaa Organics was born from a deeply personal journey of healing, led by Derek Van Atta and Joshua Hoffman. This Q&A shares the inspiration behind Sarvaa, what makes their superfood blends unique, and how their mission ties together health, sustainability, and community.

What inspired the creation of Sarvaa Organics?

Inspiration is the keyword here. We believe 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. From there, we remembered that joy, play, music, family, and friendship are just as essential to healing. Over time, these practices snowballed into a vibrant, thriving way of life.

When people started asking what the secret was to our vibrant lives, the business was born. We saw a clear need to share our path with others, because people are really suffering. In the U.S., 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, and immune issues all skyrocketed over the last decades, and especially the last five years.

Healing ourselves was our wake-up call–and our inspiration to help others remember their right to thrive. 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 the important phytonutrients and micro and macronutrients our cells need to heal and thrive.

Every blend is:

• 100% allergen-free
• 100% additive-free
• Tested for molds and heavy metals
• They are carefully designed to support detox pathways, rebuild the microbiome, and nourish the body at the cellular level.

We also prioritize small farms, small businesses, and single-source ingredients providers whenever possible, with the intention to develop this business model in the future. As Sarvaa grows, so will our ability to make a positive impact.

Finally, 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?

At Sarvaa, sustainability and health go hand in hand. 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, the water, and the future.

By using only organic ingredients, we fuel industries that require fewer 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 lifelong 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 the relationship.

Our commitment shows up in practical ways too:

• All foods are powdered in raw form and shelf-stable for years.
• Our food-to-packaging ratio is high, reducing plastic use per serving.
• As new technologies emerge, we plan to adopt compostable or plastic-free packaging solutions.
• We make annual donations to reforestation projects and support local, high-vibrational businesses working toward a healthier world.

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 business model is rooted in the philosophy that 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.
