Our story starts steeped in the rich traditions of farming, a tale that's been passed down through family generations.
At the heart of this story is our CEO, Lynn, whose father and grandfather took immense pride in their fruitful farmlands and thriving grocery store (est. 1924), serving as the community's nutritional heartbeat for 62 years.
She'd soon find herself walking a similar path, driven by the need to discover the healing power of food.
In 1995, Lynn’s life took a new turn
when she sought an alternative to harmful drugs for her young son, who had been labeled “attention deficit” by the school system.

the QUEST FOR a natural solution
Lynn and her husband Reno's quest led them to a superfood powder from California that was potent but unpalatable.
Lynn, determined to unlock its benefits, discovered a way to mix the powder with juice and encouraged her son and his little sister to consume it.
transformation
The transformation in the children, as well as in Lynn and her husband Reno Sr., was nothing short of miraculous.

ancient superfoods | modern applications
Since then, Boku continues to source ancient superfoods from the purest, most pristine soils on Earth. Incredible superfoods and adaptogens such as Maca Root, Reishi, Lucuma, Goji Berry, and many others are harvested fresh and then dried at low temperatures before being powdered. This innovative process not only locks in nutritional potency but also extends shelf life, drastically reducing perishability.
Plan(e)t Based food
By embracing the art of drying and powdering precious foods, Boku aims to combat the staggering waste that plagues the food industry.
In North America alone, nearly half of all produce is discarded due to imperfections or spoilage.
Boku believes that drying and powdering ingredients is the future of food, a sustainable solution to this wasteful crisis.
