Raw Food Potluck

Our Raw Food Potluck is held the 3rd Sunday of every month at 5 PM. We occasionally change the 3rd Sunday depending on holidays and special events. Please check out our Raw Food Calendar for the latest calendar dates: Raw Food Calendar and to see pictures of our previous potlucks and events.

Please bring your very own plate, fork, spoon, bowl, napkin and something to drink for you. We ask that you make an ORGANIC raw food dish that will serve 4-6 people.

Please do not use bottle lemon (it is not RAW), oils that do not say raw and unpasteurized . Olive and coconut oil is best. You may use honey. Please specify you have honey in your dish. For those recipe challenged, bring a gourmet raw salad or a fruit salad.
