Raw From the Farm [Raw Shopping Site Review]

Raw From the Farm: Truly Raw Almonds...and More!

A bit ago, we were contacted by Drake from Raw From the Farm, a company run by raw foodists whose mission is "to provide you with raw, organic, locally-grown nuts, seeds, and sun-dried fruits."

According to their site, the company formed out of a common frustrating need of many raw foodists in America:

"We began our journey in response to our own frustration in finding quality, locally grown, pure raw sun-dried fruits and nuts (with the enzymes still intact!). When contacting the buyers of health food stores or other companies, we found they often did not know what type of heat or processing the foods had been subjected to. Usually, they purchased their products from distributors who also did not know this vital information. We tried to determine the sources of these foods so we could ask our questions directly to the grower and processor, but often were not provided that information."

Most of you may know Raw From the Farm as one of the only places to offer truly raw, unpasteurized, organic almonds in the U.S. since the mandatory USDA ruling that all California almonds should be pasteurized.

Yes! Truly Raw Almonds! [Directly from Raw From the Farm]

But what you might not know, is that they carry a deliciously wide variety of raw goods. And all of them are subjected to their high, truly raw standards. If you shop at Raw From the Farm, you will never have to look at that bulk bin again and say to yourself "Raw Almonds? Yeah, right..."

In addition to almonds, here is just a short list of some of the raw foods they carry:

• Raw Sunflower Seeds
• Raw organic dried cherries
• Raw organic Black Mission or Calimyrna figs
  (Zillion times better than Fig Newtons!)
  
• Raw organic raisins - with no oils added!
• Raw pecans
• Raw macadamia nuts
• and a large assortment of sun-dried fruits
  

Does their Quality Hold Up?

Drake was kind enough to send us a sample package so we could taste their delights and give you an honest review of this much talked about company.

Our Beautiful Care Package

We received a beautifully wrapped sample of their famous raw almonds, their incredible Calimyrna figs, and a bunch of tasty dates.

Everything was beyond expectation, including the quality, look, and smell of each treat. The almonds were creamy, the figs were better than we've ever tasted, and the dates were spectacular.

The final test was to see if the almonds would sprout.

They did. And how!


It's Not Just About the Raw Food

One of the best aspects of Raw From the Farm, is that they are a company you can completely trust (as a raw foodist) to provide you with only the highest quality, raw-oriented goods. You'll never have to wonder what exactly happened to your food before it arrived. Such a relief for many raw foodists concerned about the true quality of their foods.

Not only that, but the prices on all of these items are very competitive, and some are cheaper than what you might find from buying in bulk from your natural foods store.

Saving money AND high quality raw goods? What could be better?

We are so impressed with Raw from the Farm, that we are permanently adding them under our much coveted "Shopping" section on the sidebar of our site.

We fully support Drake and his team, and strongly recommend that you do to.

Kudos to everyone on the Raw From the Farm Team! Thank you for your dedication and quality.
