At Peace Cereal our mission is to serve you by making deliciously
natural and healthy cereal, as well as to serve the world community
by utilizing responsible business practices and donating 10%
of our profits to peace.

| Yogi
Bhajan, Founder |
A Peaceful Vision is Born
Peace
Cereal was introduced by Golden Temple in 1997 as a way to support
a more loving planet. It was an instant success, and has grown
from four delicious flavors to our current twelve varieties.
More importantly, at Peace Cereal, we have an organically good
idea to share. We believe peace begins at the grassroots level,
one person at a time. If people can discover deep inner peace,
then slowly, we can begin to create more peaceful working environments,
homes and, finally, communities.
Golden Temple, our parent company, is privately owned by a nonprofit
organization and was founded by Yogi Bhajan. Golden Temple started
Peace Cereal with the wisdom of 30 years of creating quality
natural cereals. As a result, we have always used organic oats
and spices and made sure our products were certified Grown and
Processed without genetic engineering. Our
 |
125,000 square foot factory in Eugene
Oregon is also fully certified by the FDA and the Department
of Agriculture, with a superior rating for food hygiene, safety
and quality control from the American Institute of Baking.
In 2002, we added three cereals
specially formulated to make "Heart Sense." This year
we were pleased to increase the organic percentage of our cereals:
7 are now 95% or more organic and the remaining 5 exceed 70%.
In addition to our concern with your good health, we are also
concerned with others. Golden Temple hosts the annual Socially
Responsible Business Awards breakfast, honoring socially responsible
businesses in the natural foods industry.
|

|
10% of the proceeds from Peace Cereal
sponsors an annual gathering to pray for peace; International
Peace Prayer Day. On this day, we traditionally bestow Man and
Woman of Peace awards to Peace activists, as well as Peace Cereal
grants to nonprofit organizations working for peace.
This wonderful event brings together religious leaders, political
figures and incredible musicians from across the world to celebrate
the power of prayer and of people to create peace.
International Peace Prayer Day is held every June in the Jemez
Mountains of New Mexico, and is dedicated to promoting peace
in the world through the power of interfaith prayer and meditation.
We hope you enjoy our Peace Cereal and feel the same inspiration
to act for peace. |

Using the best products for
your good health, good taste, and well-being has always been
our number one priority at Peace Cereal. We believe eating organic
supports personal equilibrium and inner peace, as well as being
an important step on the path to environmental harmony and peace
with nature.
That’s why we’re excited to announce that Essential
10, Hearty Raisin Bran, Puffed Harvest, Apple Cinnamon, Mango
Passion, Maple Raisin, and Wild Berry will soon be donning the
USDA Organic Logo at 95% Organic! Our other cereals –
Raspberry Ginger, Maple Pecan, Vanilla Almond, and both our
Rainforest favorites will be labeled at 70% or more organic.
We’re easier to find on your store shelf too – now
all our boxes are the same size with brighter graphics and vibrantly
fresh photography. We’ve also improved our already great
taste: we’ve added an extra fruit "boost" to
all our fruit cereals, and a lighter, crunchier bite to our
crisp varieties.
With our new look, flavor, and organic commitment, we’ll
continue to provide you with the best way to wake up every morning.
We also continue to donate 10% of our profits to peace!
