From a Health Crisis to Pioneering Wellness: The RAW Forest Foods Story

In the healing landscapes of the Pacific Northwest, RAW Forest Foods was born from a deeply personal journey toward wellness. In the spring of 2010, while struggling with Lyme Disease, I discovered the transformative power of wild-harvested Pine Pollen. Anyone who has faced chronic illness understands the exhausting journey of seeking answers. What began as a simple blog documenting my recovery resonated with others who were also searching for natural solutions to support their health.

This personal quest for healing evolved into a pioneering mission. By the fall of 2010, RAW Forest Foods became the first company to bring RAW Pine Pollen™ and Pine Pollen Tinctures to the public, sharing nature’s potent gifts with those in pursuit of vitality. Though we’ve grown beyond our original offerings, our founding principles remain unwavering: to provide pure, powerful plant-based therapies, sourced with integrity and crafted with care.

Today, my journey with Pine Pollen continues to guide everything we do. Each product we offer reflects the urgency that fueled my search for healing and the gratitude I feel for nature’s wisdom. We remain committed to sharing these transformative botanicals, supporting each person’s path to vibrant health with the same dedication that inspired our beginnings.
