Welcome! You have discovered one of the most unique health resource organizations in the world. Serving as a public, non-profit educational organization, the Price-Pottenger Nutrition Foundation is a clearinghouse of information on healthful life-styles, ecology, sound nutrition, integrated medicine, humane farming and organic gardening. It is here for you and your family to learn how to attain optimal health — naturally! We will do our best to provide information that will help you make wise choices about your health options.

Today, more than ever, the public needs access to accurate information on nutrition. For over 50 years, the Price-Pottenger Nutrition Foundation has been providing the public and the healing professions with historically accurate information about nutrient-dense foods from living soil. PPNF was originally founded in 1952 as the Santa Barbara Medical Research Foundation. In 1965 we became the Weston A. Price Memorial Foundation for the purpose of maintaining the unique collections of research, notes and photographs by Weston A. Price, DDS, a pioneering researcher on the health wisdom of primitive diets, and to continue the publication and distribution of Dr. Price’s epochal study, Nutrition and Physical Degeneration. The Foundation is also responsible for the reprinting and distribution of Pottenger’s Cats, a brilliant study on diet and physical degeneration in cats. Today our archives include the works of many early and contemporary researchers whose findings validate those of these early pioneers. The Foundation is supported by memberships, donations, and sales of educational books and audio/visual materials.

Whether you are a consumer, patient, teacher, student, parent, researcher or health care provider, you can access a wealth of information through PPNF. Our library facility houses over 10,000 historical and contemporary references pertaining to nutrition, health and the environment.

By joining the Price-Pottenger Nutrition Foundation, a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization, you will receive our quarterly Journal, as well as a 10% to 25% discount on designated items. Your support of PPNF is also an investment in an organization that is completely independent of commercial interests and committed to serving the public. Memberships and donations are tax-deductible. For a resource you can trust for optimal health, from preconception to the later years, count on PPNF to bring you reliable and timely information.
