Our Story

Greetings! We are Dallas and Paul, your friendly co-founders of The Folk.

The term "folk" might not be as common as it once was, but it's at the heart of our journey. That journey, in essence, is all about discovery - or more accurately, a shared process of discovery that ignited a passion within us. But, let's start from the beginning, shall we?

Paul, like many Americans, grew up with a modest understanding of personal health management. He was under the impression that doctors had all the answers, that trendy diets and low-fat labels were the keys to good health. Chronic back pain was a constant shadow, something he attempted to remedy with traditional medicinal approaches.

On the other hand, I, Dallas, was fortunate to grow up surrounded by a deep appreciation for fresh, wholesome food. My mom nurtured a thriving garden, yielding home-grown produce that became a fundamental part of our meals. As a result, I developed a profound understanding of nutrition, its importance, and its impact on our bodies.

And then... our paths crossed.

As with the start of any relationship, we began by sharing common interests and discovering new ones together. Let's just say Paul wasn't particularly conscientious about his diet (no offense, Paul). Given my affinity for nutrition and holistic health, our conversations naturally veered towards alternatives to traditional medicine. Lo and behold, Paul's back started to feel better. That was likely the catalyst for our shared journey, sparking a mutual curiosity that continues to flourish.

Immersing ourselves in learning, experimenting, and seeking a deeper understanding of nutrition and healthy living became our shared passion. As we imparted this newfound enthusiasm with friends and family, we realized our path resonated with many others who were equally confused about "healthy" food choices and their powerful effects. This realization eventually guided us towards the creation of The Folk.

Our mission is clear and heartfelt: we believe we can make a difference in people's lives, just like we did with Paul. We promise to be supportive and understanding, never preachy or pushy, as we acknowledge each person's journey is unique. We understand that every conversation and interaction only expands our knowledge and experience. Our aim is to meet you where you're at and provide the knowledge, products, and services that can benefit you.

Ultimately, we're all part of a community, and we're passionate about helping The Folk reconnect with nature.

We invite you to join us on this enlightening journey. We look forward to having you along for the ride.

Warmly,

Dallas and Paul
