Mission statement

The mission of Rawfully Organic is to support local and organic farmers so that they can provide to local communities. The mission is also to change the consciousness of not only our small, connecting community in regards to eating raw, local, and organic, but it is to change the greater consciousness of the world in regards to living healthfully, happily, and freely. One droplet can create a ripple effect across an entire ocean just as a butterfly wings flapping in Arica can create a windstorm across the seas.

Rawfully Organic is specifically charged with:

• Finding or locating local and organic farmers who follow the guidelines for USDA organic certification and proper and humane growing methods. Rawfully Organic aims to support only produce farmers and is not involved with meat or dairy farmers. The co-op acts in accordance with raw, vegan ethics and nutritional beliefs.
• Providing financial support to these farmers to help them afford to grow specific crop yields throughout the year.
• Providing the farmers with enough financial support so that they can provide for our local communities.
• Allowing local families and individuals to donate money and receive tax-deductable credit to donating to their local farmers.
