Meet the Business Owner

Sarma M.

Business Owner

Hello! I’m Sarma. I’m the owner of the restaurant Pure Food and Wine, author of two books, and I started One Lucky Duck (the brand, the juice bars, and oneluck​y​duck​.com). This company is about inspiring a shift. I want to make things better — for people, animals, and the earth — not just in small ways, but in big ways too. (Or, maybe just the small ways adding up to a big way. Either way.)

It all started in the summer of 2003… when I (and my partner at the time) stumbled upon this ‘crazy’ idea of raw vegan food. What seemed so basic — eating organic, uncooked plant-​based foods — felt like a brand new discovery. I began a two-​week experiment to see how I’d feel eating only raw food. I also read everything I could get my hands on about raw food. Within the first week, this ‘experiment’ had become a permanent change. And then this ‘discovery’ not only changed my life personally but inspired a business. Or, should I say, businesses… :-)
