Hello From Missouri:)

Hi! I’m Sara and I’m 16 from Missouri. I just wanted to say hi and get aquainted with everyone. Does anyone else here live in Missouri? I’m really curious because I know how terribly difficult it is, at least for me, to obtain many exotic foods such as raw cacao or organic baby coconuts. Anyone in the same boat?

  • Hey Sara, Welcome to Gone Raw. I’m not from the USA but I live in England and it is tricky to get my hands on any really raw produce here. Grrr.

  • Hi Sara! I live in a small town in Indiana and what I can’t find in the area, I find online. Don’t know if that’s an option for you.By the way, my oldest daughter’s name is Sara and my son’s name is James! Our time of the year is coming up for farmer’s markets and produce stands, can’t wait! Don’t worry too much about the extra’s, eat what you have and save up for that special ingredient.

  • Hi Sarah! I’m originally from Independence, Missouri (next to Kansas City) and now live in Olathe, Kansas (about 45 min away), but go to Missouri all the time to see my family and friends. What part of Missouri are you in?

    Like Gwenz3 said, I, too, order on-line the ingredients I can’t find in the local health food stores. Usually Whole Foods (and Wild Oats) will order something for you if you ask, although I find it just as easy to order it myself on-line and have it shipped directly to my home. And now that it’s getting into Spring again we’ll have all kinds of great local organic foods from local farmers and farmers’ markets!

    Here is a link to the Kansas City area Raw Vegan Meetup group with some great people and information: http://rawfood.meetup.com/197/

    Also, there are a couple of Missouri groups on www.GiveItToMeRaw.com . Click on the groups tab at the top.

    Oh and Whole Foods (at least the one on Metcalf in Overland Park, Kansas) carries young coconuts consistently (over in the produce area).

    :)
