The Origin of RAW Forest Foods

Transforming Illness into Wellness

The story of RAW Forest Foods begins in the lush landscapes of the Pacific Northwest, interwoven with threads of healing, innovation, and the power of nature. In the spring of 2010, Ryan started RAW Forest Foods as a blog detailing his journey of healing and discovery while recovering from Lyme Disease using wild-harvested Pine Pollen. As Ryan shared his experiences, interest grew in the powders and tinctures he crafted for his own recovery. Soon, readers began reaching out, eager to purchase these remedies. Recognizing the need to share his knowledge on a larger scale, RAW Forest Foods evolved from a blog into a company.

In the fall of 2010, RAW Forest Foods became the first to offer RAW Pine Pollen™ and Pine Pollen Tinctures, unveiling the potential healing benefits of Pine Pollen. As we have expanded our product range, we remain committed to our core mission: providing high-integrity, plant-based herbal therapies to people worldwide.

Ryan is not just a founder but a true pioneer—the first to bring Pine Pollen products to the market. His passion for herbal medicine and commitment to quality are the cornerstones of our values. His personal healing journey from Lyme Disease and discovery of the transformative power of Pine Pollen set the stage for the birth of RAW Forest Foods.

As our journey continues, we stay true to the principles that have guided us: quality, expertise, and a deep commitment to our customers and the plants that support their wellbeing.

Product Philosophy and Formulation

We specialize in harnessing the power of nature to serve your unique health and wellness needs. Our carefully curated collection includes adaptogenic, phytoandrogenic, proandrogenic, and tonic herbs and formulas inspired by Ayurveda and Classical Chinese Medicine principles.

The Process Behind RAW Forest Foods

Our approach is to support the body by providing the necessary resources for foundational wellness, typically through deeply nourishing herbs. We then address underlying conditions, such as Dampness and Heat, and the accumulation of estrogenic hormones and other endocrine system disruptors. Finally, we reveal inner, innate vitality through the careful use of adaptogenic, phyt-androgenic, proandrogenic, and tonic herbs.

All our products are made in the United States in certified organic, FDA cGMP, and NSF-certified facilities. We work directly with producers and wild harvesters whenever possible to ensure the highest-quality ingredients and have traveled worldwide to verify the site and processing of our Mountain Harvest Pine Pollen.
