Focusing on the brand
Quick update for you all in this episode. We have some really exciting guests in the pipeline for our podcast & we also have the Bend store opening up VERY soon. We are taking a small break (maybe a few months) from the podcast to focus on the brand & creating a schedule for these awesome guests. We also have a new loyalty program coming soon to replace our Juice of the Month program. Be sure to take advantage of the last JOTM in April which is the always delicious Rappel. We'll talk to you guys soon & we'll see you in Bend!!
Elder Apothecary featuring Willow Holloway
Willow Holloway is the owner of Elder Apothecary. She talks about the history of apothecaries & how she started her store in Ashland Oregon. She also talks about wellness & her favorite menu items from Raw. ENJOY
Triple Orange Cold-Pressed Juice
We want to highlight our triple orange cold-pressed juice. This juice is PACKED with vitamin C, which is perfect for the winter season. COMABT the sickies! We also want to highlight our half waffles. Some of you out there struggle to finish a full waffle (we get it… They're enormous and dense). After a day on the mountain, swing by Raw, grab a waffle, a warm seasonal beverage and our juice of the month (JOTM) which is the compass.
We know you guys play hard out there and we are working hard to bring you the best meals with the highest quality ingredients in a convenient package at the right time of year. Get out there and get Raw.

It All Started with Juice and 4 Salads
Rachel Downing is the daughter of Web (Raw's owner). She oversees operations and is helping her husband (Trevor) design and build Raw 2.0 in Bend Oregon. In this episode, we talk about how Raw's menu evolved from the beginning to what it is today. It all started with just the cold-pressed juice and the 4 original salads, to now an entire menu packed full of items such as waffles, parfaits, toast and much more. The process of bringing a new menu item to our store is very organic and there are a few guidelines we stick to. Listen and learn!

How NW Raw was born
Web and Karen opened NW Raw in 2014. The story behind the restaurant is a health story. Web was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis and was taking pills upon pills to help his symptoms. Eventually the medication became too much for him to handle and he began his search for a healthy alternative. When he and Karen discovered juice cleansing, they had an idea to share the magic with their community. And so began NW Raw!
