Any RAFers in San Jose, CA? or surrounding areas..

[eoterm]

I am pretty new to all these things but would love to find either an experience person or a person thinking about doing this? 

A little about myself:

I am a physics student at San Jose State University, I live about a mile from the campus.  Would love a buddy who I can eat with, and maybe hit up the farmers markets/farms/springs with.  Honestly its kind of lonely doing these primal/paleo type diets all alone, I am still refining my diets since I been only doing this for 3 weeks.  Would love to find an experienced person or someone who wants to start eating this way, and is dedicated (I don't cut corners).  I been trying to venture into Raw foods so far I managed to eat raw egg yolks, tuna, octopus, and salmon roe. I am trying to get the courage to eat more raw meats. 

Anyway,  don't hesitate to hit me up, or email me

I'm in San Jose, too. I eat a lot of things raw and I have some favorite shopping places.

Where are you favorite places to shop?   What have you eaten raw?  I am still a little hesitant, if I could find someone to do it with I might be more inclined.  Where do you eat out if you do?

I get good grassfed beef at Lunardi's. They sell the expensive steaks for a ton of $$$$, but I get roasts from the round for the grainfed price. I can get other stuff from grassfed beef there, too, if I ask for it. I buy a lot of beef there, and they treat me well.

Good fish comes from Lion Market and a few other places. Fish Market Restaurant has great happy-hour oysters for dining with friends. I'd rather buy and eat raw fish from a market than pay sushi restaurant prices for raw fish.

I eat everything raw! Whatever I read about in this forum, I run out and find it. There are still a few things I haven't tried, but it's just a matter of time.

Awesome, I personally get all my meats from Markegards Family Farm in Halfmoon bay, I been to their farm and it looks legit, they have happy animals and they feed them well, they are grass fed/finished and their prices aren't too shabby I would like one day to eat raw meat, and though its a strange request but if I had someone to eat the meat raw with (hint hint lol) I might be more inclined?  also, I wouldn't mind if you wanted to tag along when I go buy meat/ and pastured eggs in half moon bay they also have rabbit/duck (upon request, you have to let them know a week in advanced).  I also sometimes go to Santa Cruz farmers market where I get grass fed beef from leftcoastgrassfed.com and Aurellios Farm is there for pastured chicken.

I'm in Santa Cruz and would love to connect with other raw primal ppl! I'm mostly on raw fish, chicken, beef and lamb. Eggs, raw honey a little fruit.
New fave yummy bfast half a banana and a couple of strawberries in an egg; I put the egg white in a food processor and whip into meringue then add the yolk and fruit...
I make basil pesto from an Italian recipe; basil, sm handful pine nuts, sm handful parm and two T olive oil. I'm off salt! I mix it with beef or fish or chicken.
