Hey Josee, if you’re ever in the Toronto Area, we have raw meetups, and according to meetup.com there are 120 raw foodists in Toronto that receive and attend the various meetings we organize. Toronto sprouts (formerly Super Sprouts) has an events page and a newsletter that keeps all in the GTA updated about what’s happening.
Forever Healthy also organize a pretty nice roster of events in the GTA as well.
Simply Raw is based out of Ottawa, so they probably can give you a good idea of how many raw foodists are in your area.
Enjoy!
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

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 ;)
i live in a very small, pretty town in colorado…it’s called Pagosa Springs…we are near durango which is a little bit bigger and more well know of. I know their are raw foodist in durango which is an hour away but really don’t think there is much going on in my own little corner of the earth…but i do feel that because we are small town every one is more health concicous (to a certain degree) And mango woman my husband is from la crosse wis, and my best friend is from wassau.
I am in Raleigh, North Carolina.
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
