Why I'm Closing Down Rawfully Organic After 11 Years

[@tamarademint9731]

In March of this year I felt the need for drastic change. I really felt like I was just waiting to die. I am 56 and weighed 314 pounds. Because of you I started being fully raw. I didn't do it one meal a week I went in full time all the way. Like a Phoenix, from the ashes I am reborn! I have lost 48 pounds and feel fantastic. This is all because of you. So now you have a drastic change in front of you. I know you will be great at whatever you do. Much love TamaRAW

I don't care what other people say about her, but I am 56 years old and thanks to her I change the way I eat. If you change one life that is a success. Thank you Kristina, muchas gracias. :)

[@hellooutthere8956]

she has helped me too will. me too. and you will be in the new earth. it is coming and the ones not ready well i feel sorry for them.

[@infowazz]

the new earth is still a thing? i'm not being sarcastic, just out of the loop for years. i know some crazy things are coming. i know this world is manipulated. i'm deep into a lot of deep stuff and also realized it didn't help me to spend so much time looking at what the bad guys did, where they come from, etc. being happy and positive is new to me. i don't mean i'm depressed, i just have anxiety and don't live a fully alive exciting life.

[@reneemartinez8459]

Watching her cry breaks my heart. She's the reason why I went raw vegan. It's been almost two years now. This is just so heartbreaking to watch. I'm so sorry Kristina. Take your time everyone heals and mourns differently. Don't ever stop sharing your light, you made a huge difference in my life

[@Matty.Freedom]

I'm a part of the online community you have created and I'm in Western Australia. Its thanks to you and other raw foodists online that I have been able to begin, and stay strong on my journey. Thankyou!

Kristina You are NOT a failure!!! You are blessed!!! Transition is always hard at the time...but you will look back and see it from the rearview mirror...and remember the windsheild is bigger because what is ahead is more important than what is behind are going to be great memories : ) Have faith as a grain of mustard seed and you will move mountains!!!

[@JenelleDJohnson]

Debra B Thank you for saying that. Failure should not even be in her vocabulary. She's living most of us are existing. That's priceless! Life requires you to evolve to the next level in your life and sometimes that means changing everything or one thing that's affects everything. No failures here only growth & evolution! Keep pushing on sistah!

You are a beautiful soul and you never go down . Remember one door is closed another door is already open for you . I love you Cristina

[@whollymary7406]

One thing I have learned about business in all my years is that the consumer sets the prices, if you try to set the price you want it to be you will fail because it will be too high, to survive one must look at the market your target group who they are and how much they earn is a big factor, you can sell quality for less and you can create jobs and expand your business, this would be real growth expansion always is don't quit just get a business consultant like myself, the greatest thing you can do is to serve others there is no greater role in life

[@beehouse7029]

I wish you could have expanded your products to be sent to other cities and states outside of Texas because I would love to purchase your products. I hope the best for you!

[@nkhmo001]

Dear Kristina, We have to close some doors to enter the new ones. I think in these moment of trials it is important to remember that the Universe has the best in store for us and at some point it will all make sense. You are a beautiful warrior of light, and wherever you go, you will persevere and make an impact in different wonderful ways! Much love from the Dominican 🙏♥️

[@1803evan]

So is she SELLING her business or just CLOSING it?

[@MandyRoy425]

Toi Koi - she's closing it because it's not making money anymore. It's not making money anymore because big corporations have entered the local marketplace and she lost too much business.

[@aerithxx]

25 minutes, and there's barely an explanation of why she shut it down.

[@heathergerard2186]

hana she did explain it. Bigger corporations and not enough support.

[@1803evan]

Heather Gerard I still don't understand why she closed it! I hate when youtubers say they're "transparent" but still go around the real answer!

[@shehbaya]

Come on .. It is obvious , a good price was offered and she sold it ... There is nothing wrong in being a business woman especially when you can cry on youtube and get even more likes before you get off on a long vacation to Bali !!!!!

[@Jabberwocky869]

pretty obvious, what happened: in the current economic climate very few can afford 10 dollar a bottle juice, she lost clients, she lost revenue, her business became not profitable in comparison to bigger companies that offer more affordable products (her comments about 'compromising quality'), so instead of rethinking strategy or hiring someone to do it for her and investing into implementation of new strategies, she is probably going to sell her business (hence the comments about 'big companies eating the small guys'). But the noble martyr act should get some bonus points, very convincing.

[@heathergerard2186]

I think we should all remember kindness and grace. Goodness knows in this world we all need it.

[@Pianoplayer.Treelover]

I live in Houston and I was wondering if I could ask for your support. Are you still around]? I really dont have support during this new phase of plant based. Thank you. You are a beautiful spirit. I wish I had found you earlier.

[@johnnieraythedancinman6184]

You are a beautiful person ... You know the path ... The way ... Pain is our guide ... Our teacher ... Joy awaits your Spirit again ... Perhaps in another form ... TRUST THE PROCESS ... Visit Costa Rica ... So many beautiful people have come to the Land of PURA VIDA ... Bring all that Love in your heart to help the transformation of a small country with beautiful people ... Or perhaps Bali ... Peace ... Joy ... Tranquility ...

Hey, why don't you open a cafe shop with all your recipes in your area? The comunity will see how good this is and start buying raw, organic products to reproduce those delicious meals. In time, you may even work towards a Raw fast food restaurant chain like Leon in the UK. I believe you have all the "know how" to do it, plus you can try a crowdfunding. Good luck in higher goals!

[@876Tiffany]

The synchronicity I received from this video last night when it was uploaded, after I got back from standing on my feet for 18 hrs at my raw vegan shop. I have been shedding a lot of tears because recently I have felt like I am not receiving much needed support from family members. Doing everything by myself, building my business from the ground up, investing so much money in QUALITY ORGANIC PRODUCE from local farmers, thus to create expensive recipes in its raw form, doing long lists of spreadsheets for inventory, going hours and days without eating just to reinvest the money back into the business, walking 3 hour distances to my shop with grocery bags, getting on my hands and knees to do the dirty work of cleaning my shop floors, having to deal with employees who do not even respect the back breaking work that it took me to make my business flourish. I also feel as though many of my customers take for granted the high quality food that is being served to them at the low price that does not match the labor nor prices that I am paying to get this food to them, all because I wanted people to better their health by having access to healthy, high quality, and great tasting food. They do not see the dirty work, the long hours of waking up at 4am and not sitting down until it is time to go home at 9pm! They do not see the lost of support, the financial hardships, the blood, sweat, and tears. When adversity pops up and everything is telling you no, your heart keeps pushing you toward your purpose, and then you realize that no one cares for the business you have, BUT YOU! AND ITS HARD!!! IT MAKES YOU FEEL SO ALONE. There was also something that was told to me yesterday the same day this video was uploaded, that nothing is happening to me, BUT FOR ME, and those words hit my heart full force, which is what I needed to hear, so it was de ja vu once you had repeated those same words after hearing that from a good person earlier in my day. I shed a few tears during this video last night, and I have returned to post that you are not alone! This also motivated me to keep going with my raw vegan shop and stay strong through the hardships that I am now facing, this shop is all I have, and all the time I tell myself that my customers are my biggest investors because their dollar is what is allowing this shop to be open week after week despite all of the other short comings with finances, if only they knew! Thank you so much Kristina

[@lindamariex3]

Wow, that's super inspiring. Never give up!! You sound like a truly ambitious and compassionate woman. Thank you for what you do! We need more people like you in this world.

[@77magicbus]

Confusing post. What happened ? You sold the business ? Or you closed because you couldn't make enough of a profit ? If you sold it, then you have some money to start a new project one would assume.

[@kathleenhutter4412]

I've had four businesses, starting on my fifth one. You learn what works and what doesn't. Like the comments have pointed out, juicing is expensive compared to purchasing whole foods, because you're throwing more than half of it away, so there's a lot of waste. And yes, if you do not bring in enough money to reinvest in your business, the employees, insurance, taxes; it gets shut down. Plain and simple. Businesses have to have to make profits to feed them and their people, otherwise, they essentially die on the vine. It takes a lot of courage to run your own business and a ton of energy. I'm sure she will find something new to work on, smarter, and stronger that will hopefully work better. I wish her well.

[@rolfpoelman3486]

@77magicbus Try watching the video, all of it, because she gives your answer. How much of it, and how well, did you watch?

[@kara_sergey_organic_farm]

@77magicbus - I didn't understand the reason either...

[@Speakerlynette]

forgive me for being slow, but I listened to the whole video and I still didn't understand WHY you closed it. I heard big cooperations, lack of support. ??? what did big Corp do?

[@taoist32]

lynette sosa Nothing. A big corporation showed up in town and she decided to ail. Rather than doing mare marketing or bringing her prices down, she decided to close because she can't compete.

[@SomeoneCool96]

It's hard to bring your prices down if you are a smaller scale, organic producer and you are competing against a big corporation.

[@how0will0this0end]

she sold her business and now is sad she lost it. It was a buyout.

Kristina I was a part of your coop on and off 6 years ago, and although I no longer live in Houston, I really valued and appreciated having the option for farm to table organic fruits and veggies for myself and my family- I didn't think anything like that could exist in Houston! I also got so much out of your classes. What I see here is a huge opportunity, you are brilliant, passionate, you have so much potential and drive, you got really far in an environment where people would say it isn't possible. I say watch out world, because the coop may have been holding you back from your true potential!!! Please ignore any negativity and haters, they are such a waste of energy!! I think you are on the edge of just beginning something amazing, and what you got out of the coop will always stay with you. I wish you all the best! PS Portland loves coops!! :)

[@ccclllaaaiiirrreee]

It is so sad to me that the government subsidizes food that is unhealthy rather than organic fruits and vegetables when they can so easily do so. Doing this makes healthy food complete inaccessible to those living below the poverty line. This is why it is the duty of those of us with disposable income and economic power to use our dollars to support local business and create a demand for quality fruits and vegetables so one day giant corporations have no other option but to begin meeting this demand and lowering the price of quality food. I hope one day to see a world where a healthy and filling salad costs as little as a hamburger!

Kristina.. I am so sorry that you are feeling so sad and so much loss over your beautiful Co-op. The best years of your life are not over, if you don't let them be over. You provided people for 11 years with BEAUTIFUL fresh organic produce that nourished their bodies and brought you years of endless happiness. That is a HUGE feat. You will have to re-discover yourself, which is so difficult. I have lost so much in my life, most of my family.. i know loss. But you are young, vibrant and WILL start something new and fresh and amazing. Your videos help. Your recipes help. YOU help. You are one of THE most positive people that I have ever watched, and you help with just your positive beautiful outlook on life. You have and will continue to do amazing things in life.

Kristina, today I was meditating on the story of Noah from the bible and what I got out of it was that sometimes we just need a clean sweep in our lives!! If God , being God said he was sorry he had made the human race and it broke his heart just seeing all the evil that he had to start all over!! Even God had to start all over ! It is ok to start over Kristina, sometimes it is just necessary! I know better and bigger things are in store for you. GENESIS 6 As far as God was concerned, the Earth had become a sewer; there was violence everywhere. God took one look and saw how bad it was, everyone corrupt and corrupting-life itself corrupt to the core. 13 God said to Noah, “It’s all over. It’s the end of the human race. The violence is everywhere; I’m making a clean sweep.

[@kristinairvine9833]

It amazes me how heartless some of the comments on here are. Right wrong or indifferent, she is a person, with real feelings... just like you. It isn't about money. It isn't about anything other than the fact that she is a human being facing a struggle. Just because she chooses to put herself out there and indeed, things like this may impact her financially for the better does not make her bad or wrong any more than it makes you bad or wrong for having your opinion. I just can't imagine what it feels like to feel so mean and hateful so much that it is necessary to critique a KZbin personality. I don't know her personally. I don't know if she or her family are wealthy. What I do know is that even if she is, she has every right to feel her struggle completely. This struggle just shows that money doesn't solve anything. If it were about money she would have felt relived closing it, not distraught. I don't know what you see when watching this video, but I see a human being that is full of love and is truly hurting. I hope those of you that received some kind of joy from posting something hateful on this video are lead down a path of healing yourselves and that you can figure out what made you feel so adverse to it. A truly happy person who disagreed with this video would have watched this and kept going on about their day rather than tearing another person down. I truly wish you happiness and healing.

[@msinbalony]

T V you are indeed vain. and heartless. and the hardships that you went through did not immune you from that, it seems. to minimize minimize someone's pain just because he has money... to assume that because he is more well off then his pain is less meaningful.. to have suffering cv competition with other people... so pathetic.

Now you can focus more on making raw affordable. Expensive organic is not the only way. Many conventional fruits and veggies are not sprayed! People can survive on raw for $20 a week! We need to share that!

She were selling for so much, she was way to expensive.

[@sunnygc3010]

What fruits and vegetables are not sprayed? At Easter I was with a group of farmers, the stories I was hearing blew my mind. Farmers spray like you wouldn't believe. Blueberries have 30 different types of sprays. Avocados get sprayed 3 times a week till harvest. When f&v fetch a good price farmers will harvest before the allowed time (f&v aren't supposed to be sold to market until the pesticide residue has subsided but if farmers can get a good price they will harvest). Even mangos get sprayed, I thought for sure they wouldn't as the fruit is so high up. It's really disheartening 🙁

[@mikoda92]

I honestly don't know all the reasons why she closed it, but I can say this from my perspective, the perspective of a poor, low wage-earning woman who lives in an urban environment. Most people, common people, like myself, don't have close, immediate access to quality organic food, or any co-ops. You don't relate to the common man. You don't know what it's like to decide between getting what's cheaper or what's quality. Many of the people I work with are poor also and can't afford top organic food.They also use public transportation as their sole way to get around, and there are limits as to where these buses can take you. There's always a disconnect between those who have a lot and those who are just scraping by.

[@mikoda92]

+lemurian chick I can tell how delusional and dismissive you are by reading your comment. For some people it is a permanent condition. I don't need you to decide whether I'm broke or not. I am not broke. I pay my bills with my hard work, work serving people like you. No one will be walking where I live, because it's dangerous and much too far. I have no one to help me carry all my groceries back with me, and it would be inconvenient to handle every day, because I work and have to take care of other business. It's not realistic at all, but keep dreaming.

[@emmaphilo4049]

Well explained. Being a low wage worker is a situation many don't understand. Working hard and not getting much for your hard work when actually society needs those jobs to be done and those jobs are serving other people.

[@marlosunnyfruit4431]

Thx! This is what I was thinking about loving Kristina all the time... Maybe she learns this now ... to understand how most people live and what kind of decisions you HAVE to make, when you are poor or just on a certain budget, that is left for food.

[@marlosunnyfruit4431]

ok, what do you talk about? Is this about why lots of people cannot affort a raw diet for their family? Because some have an iPhone, they can affort a raw vegan diet? I own an IPhone at the moment that was a gift from my dear friend, because she got a new one and knew that i could really need a good phone... What does this say about my wealth? Or hers? She got them from work, from her boss, because she needs to have one where she works. I think, you just see something like this and make assumptions for everyone. Cool, that you took every opportunity to do your thing/online buisness!!! :-)

Speaking about local produce, I also wanted to add that I've read reviews about her produce NOT being local at all. Some of it might have been, but if your company is to support local farmers, do it exactly and don't import from other countries. Too many lies going on.

[@bluspirit1977]

Thefunalongtheway Jennifer Thorpe exactly! Common sense would say to anyone that certain produce cannot be gotten state side, so out sourcing is needed!

[@sydkins432]

I'm going to be honest here. The reason your business failed is not because it wasn't great, it's because as Americans we are expected to NEVER stop. You only having pick up from 4-7 certain days a week etc only works for a handful of people. I need the big grocery store, because I have to buy all my produce before work at 7 am. I work Saturday's as well. So no Saturday morning farmers markets for me. It's hard. It's not my fault, or yours. It's this American ideal that we must work until we are bone tired or we're not trying hard enough. I would love the freedom to be my own boss and make the rules, but like you've just shared that's not the easy way either. Life is hard Kristina, I'm sorry it knocked you down. 💚

[@bonfiredancer]

Yea, people are trying to make ends meet, and rents are going up, and nobody can survive on minimum wage. That means, we just have to cut back spending everywhere and make it work. I don't like this American Ideal :(

[@nadounadou9560]

i agree. work until you are bone fire or .... get out of the rat race. Get your homestead, own solar energy or what not, grow your fruits and veggies and make something on the side to get $ so that you can get a medical insurance in case you get bit by a snake, a black widow, a brown recluse, a scorpion or something else,

[@amirkhan748]

Yes the American ideal is being followed every where. women in eastern countries are luckier, since the man has to do the earning and woman is supposed to do thr household work and educate the kids etc. It looks like a bleak picture at first but when you look at so many families from my country, the women live happiest lives with so much peace, no worry to earn money, and having to work double. The balance is perfect when one of the spouse takes the responsibility of earning and the other takes the responsibility of household management. However, this doesn't mean women can't pursue their careers and can't get education. Getting education doesn't equate to earning. Education for the sole sake of earning is missing the true essence.

[@amirkhan748]

Shores of Freedom I admit there are a lot of wrongs with the eastern society, but you can't just mark it as black and think developed countries as white. It is not as simple as that. Moreover, it is extremely flawed to think that a woman who covers herself up is somehow confined or subjugated. Being a woman myself, I can tell you I covered myself up, and had a really good educational career and still continuing it after my marriage. To me education does not mean I have to go outside and do a job. But no one has ever restricted me from doing a job. Infact I am really lazy and hate doing office jobs and my parents and in laws always tell me I should not be wasting my hard earned degree at home. To me, my degree is not wasted, I apply my knowledge in every aspect of life. And covering myself up doesn't stop me from doing anything. Honestly it doesn't! Secondly, do u think only eastern men look at women like a piece of meat?? Do western men have different biological functions? I see hollywood objectifies women so much that western women have become extremely concious of how they look. Its not the same in the area where I belong. Women are not as vain as the western women. Plastic Surgeries are comparatively much lower. However since newer generation is extremely exposed to the western media, they have adopted western culture. how can you claim that EVERY VICE comes from women being confined (which they aren't actually) and covering themselves up? Is there any study done on the effects of covering your body with clothes on the quality of life you experience? I see no logic behind this claim and it is terribly flawed. I am not sure how u claim every children being assaulted in the streets. I have never witnessed it but I know it happens but it is not exclusive to the eastern society but happens in the west as well.

[@amirkhan748]

Shores of Freedom I really feel very bad about all those things that happen to women in such societies. But I noticed you seem to know it too, that it is all because of illiteracy, not because women cover themselves up. Now I agree, I do not mean that women should be confined and not be able to go out alone. That is not what I mean at all and I would strongly condemn such a society and I recognise that it is extremely evil towards women. But I also do not think that covering yourself up leads to crimes. Its not true at all. There is only a weak correlation between society of covered up women and crimes. And we know that, scientifically correlation does not equate to causation. Covering up with a piece of clothing can not stop a society to flourish. What stops them to flourish is their ancient beliefs and cultures which I strongly despise. And I am glad that you eventually were able to get out of that horrible society and live as a free woman. I have also endured a lot of pain in the past but not the kind you talked about. It was more of a family problem. I used to think is our society bad? But now I think, its not just our eastern society, cruelty happens in all societies to those who are weaker in some way. In other words, Rich suppress the poor, Strong dictate the weak. It seems like natural phenomenon now. As for rapes, I don't think they happen only in eastern society. The bad thing about the eastern society is lack of accountability as you said, that a woman is blamed for being raped. Western societies make people accountable for their crimes and thats why you don't see men raping women out in the open. Nevertheless rapes do happen, most rape stories I read or hear are from western societies. Mostly it is child abuse and even rapes. But I can not make any assumption where most rapes take place as I never did any statistical analysis. Evil exists everywhere. I was living in an eastern society but never experienced rape or anything like that whereas many western woman have been brutally raped. Rape is pretty common in U.S but that offcourse doesn't mean every woman is getting raped. It only means there are a few unfortunate ones who fall prey. What I find good about the eastern society, atleast my own country, that both men and women are family oriented. Men provide for their families in every way possible and usually take full responsibility of the expenses of wife and kids. Whereas western women have to kind of depend on their own to work, give birth to children, take care of children, while doing jobs at the same time. Where I come from, most women live very comfortably and they dont have to worry about having an equal participation in the earning. Atleast it is not required of them to contribute​ to the household expenses. Still many women like to earn and be at respectable positions working as scientists, engineers, doctors teachers etc, and there is nothing wrong with that. Infact most people from my country encourage girls to get education and earn a living. However middle East is very different. I am not aware of the prarices in middle east but I am surely not inspired by middle eastern culture at all.

[@tdr.220]

I'm so proud of you and inspired by what you have accomplished this far. You are so gifted and have many more great things to accomplish in this life.

I'm sure this will only catapult you into greater things in the future. Don't stop, always keep moving. Much love! 😍😘💕

[@fullyrawkristina8586]

I DID NOT SELL MY COMPANY. Never in the video did I say that, and that comment seems to be everywhere here. I would never sellout. People keep asking why, but I clearly state in it the video. Please listen to the many points I discuss before you're quick to judge. There's not just ONE REASON. It's not black and white. It's been a slow and steady declining process over the years. We lost the community over time. People are choosing to purchase from larger chains and aren't supporting local and organic. This effects the smaller businesses such as myself. It's convenience and quantity over quality and homegrown. This is why I wrote in the video, "PLEASE SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL AND ORGANIC FARMERS. This is becoming a dying race." For everyone calling me a spoiled brat and saying that I'm not taking responsibility for my failure, you couldn't be MORE wrong. I've worked my butt off for 11 years building this company...doing things many of you wouldn't probably do-late night deliveries, sacrificing much, sludge work, doing the dirty work-things behind the scenes you DON'T see. Nothing was given, it was earned. Those who judge don't know my circumstances or my journey in what's it's taken to build up to this point. Please look at your own life before you decide to judge mine. I'm not going to sit here and blame anyone, and I won't blame myself. I held on so tightly until I couldn't anymore. And I don't need to further explain myself past that point. It took SO much of me to make this video and talk about it. I didn't even have to talk about me closing it. I could have just moved on with my life and not said a word. But I didn't because this coop has meant the world to me and it's meant so much to so many others. It is worth CELEBRATING and CHERISHING. I choose to cherish it and will never take it for granted. This co-op has given me so much life and happiness and JOY. I choose to keep these memories positive. I feel my message in this video is beautiful and vulnerable and very open and real and authentic. HATERS: please stop trying to pick away at something that just isn't there. Compassion in his time is needed. TO EVERYONE who had written a supportive and kind comment...THANK YOU. I've read EVERY SINGLE COMMENT. Most have brought me to tears. You're the reason why I am still here. Thank you for your prayers and support. I hope to continue to be here for you too. 🙏🏽💓✨

[@justbornvegan5074]

I so agree. I feel bad for her, but I kind of wish she would see that she's still made an impact on getting people to eat healthier even if they aren't able to purchase from a place like her coop. If her higher aim is to make that impression on people then she's made it and is still making it, coop or not, although I understand why she would be upset over the end of that dream. I don't have the money to buy from a place like the coop either though, but it's KZbinrs like Kristina that made me turn more to a healthier lifestyle.

People don't even know how much work it is to create content for insta or youtube and people don't understand that if there were no pesticides in the world then the cost of food will actually be $10 per juice. Everyone feels entitled to cheap food, but cheap price comes only with chemicals. If food was grown naturally the whole America won't even afford to go out for meals or throw away half of your lunch, or have snacks 5 times a day. And I do understand that seeing your business close makes you cry, but everything will be ok.

I can only imagine how it would feel to open up about a hard time and read comment after comment saying I'm being too dramatic or to get over it or it's my fault.7 Her business may not meant alot to you but it did to her and I sincerely hope that if you go thru a hard time that no one gives you the responses that yall have given her.

A king had a son that the king said was destined to lead his people to a peaceful, harmonious existence. The prince loved the people with all his heart as did the king. The prince also loved his horse, who was stubborn and headstrong. The king pleaded with the prince to not ride the ornery animal. One day, the prince rode the horse out into the village. The horse was spooked by a rat and threw the prince to the ground, breaking his leg. While the prince was recovering at home, the kingdom was invaded and all the warriors were harmed. The prince was devastated that he was unable to fight. But.... He did recover. And he grew stronger. And he learned not only how to love peacefully, but how to fight fiercely. He redeveloped his army with new warriors and gave his beloved people the harmony and security he was destined to give them. This is just your broken leg, Kristina. You will heal and you will be strong. You will fulfill your destiny and you will be loved. But, right now, you've gotta rest and mend. Things will work themselves out.
