    RAWBERT'S WORLD OF ORGANIC LIVIN'


     Hi, I'm Robert Reid, aka "Rawbert " (as my friends call me) and I'd like to welcome you to 'The OG' website, a true labor of love. This site and its vegan recipes are dedicated to everything that can make you feel happier, healthier and more vibrant than you've ever imagined. Over a decade ago, I made a choice to go vegetarian and almost entirely raw!  My journey took me deep into a whole new world of; organic food, sustainable living, natural hygiene, juicing, fasting & natural detoxification, yoga & meditation, and the wisdom of ancient Chinese and Indian (Ayurveda) health systems. Ulitmately I was lead to experiment with very high levels of raw foods as the basis of my diet. I soon realized the rejuvenating and restorative power that living nutrients and enzymes offer the body and how vibrant I could feel again! Join my E-newsletter to receive these very same life transforming secrets to vibrant health plus my amazing recipes.
       After experieincing a dramatic increase in every level of my physical and mental well being, I knew I would never go back to eating the Standard American Diet (SAD) and felt a strong calling or mission to share what I learned. Born from that calling is Organic Garden Café my predominantly raw food restaurant, featuring unique & innovative organic gourmet vegan wheat-free gluten-free raw food recipes along with brown rice, wraps, both hot and raw soup recipes and other innovatively heated recipes on our menu.
        Whether you are a vegetarian, vegan, raw foodist, juicer or practitioner of any other level of health food living, I hope you will browse and benefit from this site and its recipes and offer your feedback on anything. May this site reach some of the millions of raw food and health food enthusiasts who cannot make the trek to 'The OG' all organic restaurant.
