Raw Food Forums

Hi everyone,

Has this already been done? If it hasn't, let's do it. If it has, let's do it again.

I've just put the states as options in the poll but tell us what city/town you're in. Also what is it like being raw there? Many others around?

I tried to do a poll but I must have done it wrong because I can't see it. If anyone knows how to add it, please do. Otherwise, we don't need a poll.

I'm in Melbourne with my husband and two little girls. We're all trying to be raw. I don't know any other raw people so  I have no idea what the raw scene is like in Melbourne.

I am in South Island New Zealand. I have just started by myself for now but I do have twin boys (6)
and a pie-eating husband.. (but not for long!!)

Im in Adelaide but only for another 2 weeks, then im moving up to mackay in queensland for a year to eat MANGOES!!!! -_-

Me and my 4 children live in a small town at the foothills of Mt Warning in Northern NSW. Lots of Raw foodies around here thats how i got into it. Lots of people come into my little organic store and tell me about the raw vegan way.   :huh:at first i thought they were mad but i noticed how good they looked all glowing and healthy. i'd really come to realise that the vegetarian way i was eating was making me as sick and tired as the meat and 3 vege diet i was bought up on so here I am and loving it.  :ohyeah:

I am in central Victoria, with my 10 year old twin girls  :laugh: and husband.

I'm a Perthy person now though only moved here from the Adelaide hills at the beginning of last year. There is a great raw scene here, though it seems to really be picking up all over Aus!  :ohyeah:

I am in Adelaide, a little suburb called Magill at the base of the gorgeous Adelaide hills, beautiful here.

xoxox

I'm in Melbourne, with my little boy (he is now eating a lot of what I eat), and my partner, who eats indiscriminately. I don't know anyone else raw, and I am very new to this. But I feel great!!

Hi! Im Michelle, or chelle...I live in Sydney CBD with my husband of 4 years and we've been together 9. I went raw last year and joined the forum, but fell of the wagon until recently and am working my way back up to 100%.

Hello  -_-, my name is Jacki and I live in Lismore with my hubbie, son (5) and daughter (2).  We have recently moved here from South Australia.  I discovered the benefits of raw foods a year ago and I am enjoying the journey to raw.

Hey, Organicmama - what organic store are you at?  Next time I am up that way, I will be sure to call in and say hello.

Hugs,
Jack

Hi everyone,

I'm from Montreal, Canada. YES! French Canadian. I'm traveling around the world and I'm now in Australia since 5 months . Prior to my arrival in suburb Melbourne I have been raw-vegan for 6 months and since I'm here I have a difficult time to keep it up a 100%. I'm a nanny for a family that eat lots of junk food and I feel quite alone in my raw journey... No one aorund me is very interested in tasting my food... I'm doing my best and I look forward for the Summer!!! ( I feel it will be easier!) and I just decided to move in a lovely appartment next to the familly's house. That will help too!

Hi I'm Chris.  I am the only one of the four of us here trying to maintain the raw food way (my partner and two children are yet to be convinced!).  We are situated in the very beautiful Huon Valley in southern Tasmania, overlooking the Huon River.  Alas almost no known raw foodies around here.  Fortunately good support is at hand on this forum.

I'm in Nowra, NSW and I'm the only rawbie in our household though I'm trying to get my 6 children as close to raw as I can.

Not much of a raw scene around here but there has to some out there lurking somewhere.

Hugs
Tracey

Just wanted to *bump* this thread to the topp again to keep it alive.

So interesting to see where everybody is!

~eve~  :heart:

I'm in Arcadia on the north-western outskirts of Sydney (across the gorge from Hornsby). I live on a quarter-acre block surrounded by paddocks with my wonderfully supportive (but still omnivorous) man and 2 beautiful boys (5 years and 17 months). Although I try to feed my family a pretty healthily Me and my youngest son are the only 100% rawbies. I'm actually quite amazed that my hubby is so supportive of raising our youngest raw. But it's all good. at the moment I am attempting to create our own little funky food forest. I have become addicted to buying fruit trees. My most recent acquisition was a pomegranate.
I'm quite fortunate that the little homeschooling group we belong to (Steiner-inspired natural learners) are pretty much all raw or on the raw journey. So every time we get together it's like a mini raw potluck  :ohyeah:

My mum lives on the Gold Coast and my dad in Port Macquarie (and I grew up just outside of Grafton) so I quite often make the trek from here north..it would be great to catch up with other rawbies on the way next time I make my way up there.

Good thread :)

I live in Sydney, on the Nthn Beaches and I love it here. I live with my 2 kittehs and my bf (omni) pretty much lives with me too.

I haven't met any other Rawbies, tho I saw another thread in which there was a link to the Raw Group for NSW, so that is something to look fwd to.

Erthmum: Your property sounds lovely. How far is Arcadia from Sydney? We have been thinking about moving in together and would be looking for a house, so with Syd prices I am thinking we will need to be looking Nth/West and I would love the room to have a big veggie garden too.

Hi Kitteh,

Arcadia is about a 50 minute drive from the CBD (on a good day - not school time)..if you know Hornsby we are about 20 minutes from there..near Dural. My hubby works in North Sydney so he usually gets the train from Hornsby.
ooh baby just woke..be back soon.

Thank for that, Erthmum :)

My bf currently lives West, Cherrybrook and works around there too. I live on the beaches but work near the airport! So it's going to mean lots of driving no matter where we choose, I just don't want to be in an apartment anymore, I need a garden.

I just did a whereis.com.au search for Arcadia. Taking the train is a great option.

Hi all! 

I live in Brisbane (bayside) with my husband.  We've been vegan and 'high raw' for almost 18 years.  Since finding this forum I have been gradually increasing the percentage of raw in our diet.  This is a wonderful place to get information and inspiration.   (I've been lurking for quite a while!)
