Curious about location

SystemSystem Raw Newbie

Hey guys,

Just curious about the proportion of what city you live in. Does anyone have an idea about the proportion of American raw-foodists compared to Canadian raw-foodists? Thanks!

    Hey Nixopan,

    Thanks for all the info! I actually am on Simply Raw’s mailing list, and I am a member of meetup.com. Simply Raw holds monthly potlucks, but I haven’t had a chance to attend yet. I’d love to meet other raw foodists, you get kind of lonely sometimes…

    If ever you’re in Ottawa, let me know, and I’ll do the same for Toronto.

    Cheers! josée

    well-i am so sad. i had so wanted to go to the portland raw potluck.hubby was sick all week but i thought for sure he would be well by sat. i got up at 4:30a.m. to make my raw apple pie.well-the one good thing is “i made the pie and it is so so good”.hubby and i are still learning and trying these recipes.we were amazed the pie was better than any pie i ever tasted.well-there is next month.

  • I wasn’t able to attend mine in Toronto tonight as well. My grandmother passed away yesterday :(

    I’m in Cleveland, Ohio. Born and raised….

  • I’m in Saint Louis, MO. Despite being in the midwest & amongst farm country, we had our first raw food meetup on Friday. I strongly encourage anyone to go to theirs. Hopefully ours will keep growing!

  • I’m in Atlanta, but going to Maine in the fall. Atlanta is supposed to have a fairly large raw community, but I haven’t met anyone yet. :-)

  • Berkeley (actually Kensington – unincorporated area) CA. I was born and raised in Oakland.

    The raw food movement is pretty large in the Bay Area and I’m going to my first “raw event” in San Francisco Tuesday night (just a few minutes away via public transit)- David Wolfe will be here.

    It will be nice to meet people IRL.

  • Born and raised Los Angeles,CA…city of angels and raw foodists ;)

  • Hi deasmiles, the only one I know of so far is this weekend in Oakland. I will see if there are more in the area. I think there will be on in San Francisco, but I must check the dates.

  • I am from Index Washington. About 50 minutes from Seattle (by car). I love it because there is a large raw food communitiy here. There a potlucks going every week. We have lots of organic farms and a vegan restaurant (Chaco Canyon) that caters to raw foodiest with fairly good menu options. We have lot’s of markets that are filled with organic produce. Moreover, we have verdant forests filled with wild edibles!

  • I’m in Washington, DC. The number of people attending the Northern Virginia meetup has been increasing almost every month, which is great. At the meeting before the most recent one, there were over 40 people.

  • Dea,

    I’ve moved to the area after you’ve left. Yes, everything is upscale and the rents are high. I thought this is how things are getting in all the big cities. I used to buy a lot of produce from farmer’s markets in the summer. I’m not sure if I will do it this year, since I’ve gone organic. I will have to think about it.

  • Cleveland Ohio…lets connect

  • I live in Boston and am finding very few resources here. Though I’m moving to New York in a few months I’m still frustrated at sort of “alone” feeling I’m getting here.

  • Toronto, Ontario, Canada…anyone else from T.O out there?

  • I’m in Northern Virginia (Lorton) and it’s impossible to eat out. Everyone looks at me kinda sad when I order vegetarian, let alone vegan or RAW.

  • all my life in- Virginia
