Thank you for your interest in the Chicago Chapter of the Weston A. Price Foundation (Chicago WAPF)! We welcome anyone with an interest in learning about food preparation, healthy eating, buying local and of course, the findings of Weston A. Price.
We also encourage everyone to join the Weston A. Price Foundation, but it certainly is not necessary in order to attend meetings and gatherings.
What is the Weston A. Price Foundation?
The Weston A. Price Foundation is a non-profit, tax-exempt charity founded in 1999 to disseminate the research of nutrition pioneer Dr. Weston Price, whose studies of isolated non-industrialized people established the parameters of human health and determined the optimum characteristics of human diets.
The Foundation is dedicated to restoring nutrient-dense foods to the American diet through education, research and activism. The Foundation supports a number of movements that contribute to this objective including accurate nutrition instruction, organic and biodynamic farming, pasture feeding of livestock, community supported farms, honest and informative labeling, prepared parenting and nurturing therapies. Specific goals include establishment of universal access to clean, certified raw milk through “A Campaign for Real Milk” and a ban on the use of soy formula for infants through its Soy Alert! project.
What is the purpose of this WAPF Chicago Local Chapter?
This is the official site for the current Chicago, IL chapter of the Weston A. Price Foundation. This group has been formed for the purpose of sharing ideas and to exchange information about resources available in the Chicago, Illinois Area.
Please utilize this website to find local foods, real food recipes, answer specific questions, discover issues related to lifestyle and dietary changes, bringing awareness to political issues connected to eating real foods and for mutual support.
