July 17 @ 8:00 am – July 20 @ 7:30 pm
Produced by The Primal Diet Coaches, PrimalDiet.net, and PRIMAL PLANITZ™
How This All Started
The Primal Diet community started in 1993 when Aajonus Vonderplanitz cured his cancer and other diseases with a diet of raw animal meats and fats and wrote the books We Want to Live Recipe for Living Without Disease.
Now, 30-years later, many of Aajonus’ students and clients have come together to testify about the health benefits and share their experiences on the Primal Diet.
What to Expect at the Conference
You’ll meet other Primal Dieters and hear about other’s experiences.
Whether you are a veteran or just heard about the diet, this is a great place to ask questions and tap in at your level.
Even if you don’t eat raw meat and are curious, we have no judgment. We all were there once. We’ll answer your questions and hold your hand as you explore this way of eating.
Experience Simply Grassfed at Burke’s Garden Farm where plenty of grass fed meats and dairy are grown, and eat some of the healthiest food on the planet.
Just the location in the glorious Burke’s Garden Valley “God’s Thumbprint” is worth the trip. Your experience will be magical.
Come make friends, learn, heal, grow, and celebrate life with other humans who want to live and see the natural path as the best way forward.

Children and Safety: This is a working farm in a part-modern part-early 1900’s farming community. Be prepared for open sun, wind, curvy mountain roads, farm animals, and horse and buggies.
Because we are at 3000 feet elevation, the bugs aren’t as bad as other wild areas, but we still have a few. Also, because of the elevation, it’s cooler and windier than other areas. Bring long sleeves, long pants, sweater, hat, and raincoat.
This is a kid friendly event and we are not responsible for watching your kids or for their safety. Any alcohol, drugs, smoking, vaping, pets, nudity, or disruptive behavior will be evicted with NO refund.
Absolutely NO Refunds. We are planning food and other logistics based on your registration. We cannot refund your money once you have registered. In the event of inclement weather, classes will be indoors..
We look forward to having you in our Primal Diet Community.
It’s time to start experiencing the optimal health you rightly deserve.
Eat Fat and Be Happy!
