Why this exists

About PrimalFinder

Real food still exists. It is just absurdly hard to find. PrimalFinder is our attempt to fix that.

Who's behind this

I've been eating this way for two years. It started when I got a small flock of hens at my plot in Spain.

Researching how to raise them well led me to Aajonus Vonderplanitz. I read his work, understood the framework, and one day took the first bite of raw meat. It tasted like meat. I started with raw milk and shifted everything else gradually over the following months.

The first weeks were hard — constant hunger, no satiation. My body took time to regulate. What came after was a kind of steady energy I hadn't had before.

My name is Marcos. From Spain, I build PrimalFinder for a community that believes real food should be findable.

What guides us
01

No secrets

Every source is on the map. No account, no premium, no “unlock full access”. If we know a farm, you know it too.

02

This is not a trend

Every culture on the planet has primal food traditions. Raw dairy in France, fermented fish in Scandinavia, grass-fed meat in Argentina.

03

We point, you decide

We are not here to tell you what to eat or sell you a nutrition plan. We put sources on a map.

What this is built on

PrimalFinder documents three reference frameworks. It doesn't invent its own.

Weston A. Price

A dentist who in the 1930s traveled to 14 isolated cultures and documented what they ate before and after adopting a Western diet. His findings on bone density, dental structure, and physical development remain the most documented empirical foundation of ancestral nutrition.

Aajonus Vonderplanitz

Developed and systematized the primal diet over 35 years of observation. An activist who successfully lifted the raw milk retail ban in Los Angeles County in 2001. His protocol — raw animal foods below 40°C — is the most specific and most contested framework in this space.

Ancestral cultures

Inuit, Maasai, the Alpine populations studied by Price. Peoples who ate raw for generations, whose documented health markers remain a reference point in the debate on food processing.

PrimalFinder documents these frameworks for informational and historical purposes. It does not prescribe any diet. Raw animal foods carry real pathogen risks — we acknowledge them, we don't minimize them.

How this is sustained

No advertisers. No premium tier. No data sold.

PrimalFinder runs on voluntary donations from people who use it. If this project disappears tomorrow, the data is yours.

Donations aren't active yet — the directory is six months old. When there's a recurring user base that asks for it, we'll turn it on.

Where the data comes from

The atlas is compiled from public and community sources: OpenStreetMap (ODbL license, with attribution), public agricultural registries, and specialized raw-food directories such as getrawmilk.com, realmilk.com and eatwild.com.

Every listing is verifiable business data — name, location, contact, category. We don't reproduce third-party text or imagery. Sources are acknowledged without implying affiliation or endorsement.

Are you the owner of a listing and want a correction or removal? Write to [email protected] and we'll take care of it.

How to contribute

Submit a source

If you know a farm, butcher, beekeeper or market that should be on the map, submit it here. Every submission is reviewed before it goes live.

Report an error

Closed sources, wrong data, producers who no longer sell. Report it here.

Share it

If it's been useful, the most effective contribution is telling someone else who needs it.

On the shoulders of giants

Weston A. Price traveled five continents in the 1930s documenting what people ate before industrial food arrived. Aajonus Vonderplanitz spent decades defending raw and primal food when almost nobody listened. And every grandmother who fermented vegetables in her kitchen, every shepherd still making cheese the way his grandfather did — they are the real foundation of all this.

Built on OpenStreetMap data — and the stubborn conviction that finding real food should not be this hard.
