Expert Insights on Tonic, Adaptogenic, and Phytotherapeutic Herbs
Welcome—we’re honored to be part of your journey. We know that getting started here can feel overwhelming, and we’re here to help you navigate our collections—from Mountain Harvest Pine Pollen™ to all of our adaptogenic, tonic, and proandrogenic herbs and formulas.
We have several guides available to get you started:
Plants—and the traditions that teach us about them—are our passion. For us, quality is more than standard to meet nor is it a marketing term to throw around. Quality is a fundamental, keystone commitment that underlines everything we do. Every product we make is carefully handcrafted here in the U.S. at FDA-registered, certified organic, NSF cGMP facilities that transform our raw ingredients into the finest products available.
We source ingredients ourselves. A rarity in the industry. And in doing so, we get as close to the source as possible, following the Dàodì tradition, an approach akin to understanding the terroir of wine. Since starting RAW Forest Foods in 2010, we have formed long-lasting partnerships with our wild-harvesters, growers, and processors—partnerships that allow us to offer products made from ingredients that are unique and unparalleled in quality.
Everything we do at RAW Forest Foods is a celebration of plants, an honor to the traditions that inform our practices, and an act of respect to our customers. To learn more about these practices, visit our Sourcing and Formulation page.
Short answer? No.
Long answer: Your health journey is uniquely yours—and we stand in respect of that. Each person is different, and while we know that products are great, we do not claim that they are magic. There is no one-size-fits-all solution. If someone offers you magic or a one-size-fits-all solution, that’s a red flag. Look elsewhere.
Offering individualized care and providing product suggestions and recommendations is far beyond the scope of what we do at RAW Forest Foods. And it isn’t how real herbalism is practiced.
Additionally, FDA guidelines prohibit this. These guidelines are in place to protect consumers from being taken advantage of, and we respect that. We value rules and regulations designed to safeguard customers.
Because of this, we do offer personal consultations or specific product recommendations.
However, we can direct you to the rich educational resources we’ve developed, including our Product Guidebooks, the Knowledge Tree, the Pine Pollen Academy, and our blog—the Trail Journal. And we’re always here to answer questions—just shoot us an email.
Pine Pollen has profoundly changed my life—every aspect of it. I’ve spent years studying it in depth, exploring everything from the esoteric to the mundane, and every scientific study I could get my hands on.
This journey of learning, combined with the experience of working with countless customers over the years, is organized into the Pine Pollen Academy.
Approach the Pine Pollen Academy as a comprehensive yet approachable textbook on Pine Pollen, one that covers everything from my personal experiences with it to the latest scientific research on it—with clear answers about Pine Pollen’s proandrogenic and adaptogenic qualities, its ethnobotanical history, the Western understanding of Pine Pollen, and much, much more.
We do our best to get your order to you as quickly as possible because we know that you are excited to receive it.
Domestic Orders
With rare exceptions aside, every order is packed and shipped within one business day of when we receive it. This means that if you place your order on Monday afternoon, your order will leave the warehouse by Tuesday morning. But this also means that if you place an order on Friday afternoon, it’s not leaving the warehouse until Monday morning.
Almost all domestic orders are shipped through the United States Postal Service (USPS), using USPS Ground Advantage, First Class, or Priority Mail—all depending on the order size. We occasionally ship UPS or FedEx. Let us know if you have specific shipping needs.
Once a domestic order leaves our warehouse, it typically arrives to you within 2–3 business days. You'll receive tracking information as soon as your package enters the mail stream.
International Orders
We have shipped orders to over 90 countries. We are proud—and honored—to have a global family and a global reach.
With that said, shipping internationally is different than shipping domestically. Different rules apply. And all of this is outlined on our Shipping and Tracking page. Anyone shipping internationally needs to carefully read through the International Orders section of our shipping page.
We love our products. We stand by our products. And we want to earn your confidence and we want to earn your trust.
We have an easy 60-day refund policy for all domestic retail orders. If you are not completely satisfied with your purchase, please let us know. We want to make it right. If you need to make a return, reach out to us, and we’ll email you a prepaid shipping label. Once your return arrives at our warehouse, we’ll immediately refund your order. It’s that simple. However, we do need to receive the return within 60 days.
Visit our Returns, Replacements, and Cancellations page for full details.
And one last thing: It’s important to mention that things work differently when we ship internationally. So if you’re a customer that’s located abroad, please read through the specific guidelines we have for shipping internationally and for international returns.
RAW Forest Foods is located in Vermont—the Green Mountain State. We’re lucky. And we know it. Here, between the ancient Adirondacks and the Green Mountains (did you know they extend into Scotland?) and on the shores of Lake Champlain, we’re reminded daily of the potential that nature—that the wild—holds to heal.
These landscapes inspire us. These landscapes ground us. These landscapes are forest wisdom.
If your path takes you to Vermont and you want to say hello, please do. It’s an honor to connect others with the home that inspires the work we do every day.
