  4. Wow! Great trip to see. Beautiful raw fruits & veggies. Definitely places to add to my list. Especially that fresh sugarcane juicer. Yum! Thanks John, Alyssa, & Nate 🥳

  5. Those organic grapes! I need them! I got a bad reaction from costco grapes even after veggie washing them, that moment u guys were picning made me tear up! I have yet to find raw friends! God bless you guys and helping in my journey of healing!

  6. Happy New Year from Interior Alaska. What a great food haul, wish we had such great selections. Appreciate all wonderful tips you give, love your videos, looking forward to watching them in 2023!

  7. 🥦🍊🍇🍎 🍈🍉🍋🍌🍍🥭🍏🍐🍑🍒🍓🫐🥝🍅🫒🥥🥑🍆🥕🌶🫑🥒🥬🧄

  8. You could do food shopping tours and charge per person to take a group to different markets and restaurants. I'm sure there would be lots of people wanting to pay you to help them on their raw food journey.
