At Raw Food Central we want to support and encourage everyone interested in what we believe to be the ultimate diet and lifestyle. This lifestyle consists of raw vegan food (no animal or dairy products) with fresh vegetable juices. Other factors which are just as important for excellent health are things like exercise, fresh air, and pure water, sunshine, emotional poise, proper rest/sleep, attitude of gratitude, and of course a personal relationship with our Maker. We teach from a Biblical perspective.
Through personal experience over the past 30 years and much research regarding the raw food diet and lifestyle we have found it proves to be the ideal way to eat and live. Evidence and many studies have proved this to be true. We have seen diseases of all types disappear. A diseased state of being is not normal for the human body. We have to work hard at becoming sick, diseased and obese. It takes many years of dietary and lifestyle abuse to become sick and diseased. The good news is
History
Established in 2002.
Raw Food Central was founded by Curtis Griffing, a 30+ year veteran in the field of raw veganism. Curtis has benefited in so many ways from living a raw vegan lifestyle, as have both of his sons, Wynter and Windsor, who work alongside their father at Raw Food Central. After 10 years of being at their space in the center of Windsor, CT, Raw Food Central outgrew their previous store and moved to Berlin, CT, which had a much larger location to offer. Not only does Raw Food Central teach classes, offer an amazing organic co-op, and store in which to buy raw vegan products, but they also making raw vegan snack foods that are gluten-free and Non-GMO, such as kale chips, onion rings, and flax crackers.
