"My name is Bonnitta Whitrow, I’m the owner and operator of Bee Raw Real & Raw Foods. I get asked all the time how I got into this line of work. Twelve years ago I thought, “how could this be happening to me?” I was a healthy young woman at 22 years of age with a long life ahead, only to have my whole world come crashing down with a diagnosis of Multiple Sclerosis. My legs wouldn’t work anymore, my hands were numb and clumsy, my eyes saw double of everything. I was so tired and weak. Every treatment we tried left me with more and more symptoms to deal with. Life seemed hopeless. But then I decided to change my attitude and try a whole new approach to living. Why not? I had nothing to lose. I became a certified Natural Health Consultant and Nutritional Therapist. I changed my diet, my attitude, my entire lifestyle. And it worked! I started feeling more energetic and got back a lot of the feeling in my limbs. As things improved I focused more and more of my time on preparing nutrient dense foods in my kitchen. Food that would energize my body and nourish my cells. There was only one thing missing, living in a small town there wasn’t a lot of options for dairy free, refined sugar free, gluten free healthy treats. So, I started making my own. I was so excited to discover that healthy food could taste so great that I started feeding it to my friends and family. When it became too much for my small kitchen I started using the certified kitchen at The Family Place in Weyburn, Saskatchewan. It's there that I now create each and every item available to you at our multiple retail locations. Every little bit is handmade with love and the hopes of sharing the happiness it has brought me. Bee Raw is not just a job for me, it’s my passion, and my way to help others live their best life yet!"
