Ms.Pitman, Canadian raw food chef, found she could eat very little processed food very early in life. She states "when I was little, less than two years old, I fell sick quite frequently," Almost every day, I had stomach pain and problem with my digestion. My mom began to see the connection between what I ate and how I felt. Meat made me ill immediately; consuming eggs and dairy caused me hours of pain.

  • Hi,
    I just want to let you know that your nutz are out of this world. I let my mother and sister try your Banana Bread Walnutz and Cina-Pecans and they LOVED them. I also love the Chili Pistachios, Curry Almonds, and Pesto Walnutz. The Cina Pecans taste like cinnamon oatmeal cookies, but I put them in a cereal bowl with raw almond mylk and it’s a healthy alternative to the sugary cinnamon cereal I use to eat. Also your Wicked Chili Almonds remind me of barbecued spare-ribs or chicken (which I definitely don’t and haven’t eaten for over a decade). Thanks for creating the best tasting raw nutz around. I got my local store ‘Green Earth, in Riverhead’ to stock them and now I’ll be loading up on them every week. I’m addicted!
    :) Debbie

  • Lip Balm to Die For

    Hello, I just wanted to say Thank You so much for sending my order so quickly! I ordered your Wild Blueberry lip balm and received it in less than a week. I also wanted to say how much I love your products, I found the lip balm a couple of years ago at a little shop while I was visiting family in Belfast, ME, and each time I visited I could not find it anywhere. So I was very excited to order it from your website! Again, thank you so much for your promptness and for supplying such a wonderful product.
    Sincerely, Rose

  • Your lip balm is the best. Exactly, not greasy, just right. My lips are soft and smooth within 1-2 days. Incredible. Blueberry is the best. Unfortunately my health food store is not carrying it for some reason. DT from Wakefield Thank you so much!

  • This is the best lip balm I have ever used, and I cannot find it anywhere in New York City. You should get your product in stores everywhere. Best of luck to you guys and your positive and progressive company!
