Their products look great! We lived unprocessed because I cook from scratch quite a bit. I’ve always prided myself on meal planning and homemade foods despite working a full time demanding job.

My oldest son has ADHD and we’ve noticed a change in his behavior when we adjusted his diet. We removed artificial everything, it’s overwhelming at first but once you’re in the middle of it, it’s just day to day normal. It’s been a huge help!

To be honest, we are just beginning our unprocessed journey. One small step we are making is to get produce and foods from local farms. We are planning and getting some fresh blueberries to use throughout the month, looking for new ways to use the berries.
