About FreeRangers
Our story
Our journey started when my son was 9 months old and got ill with recurring tonsillitis. We have been on and off antibiotics, tried grommets, and finally took out his tonsils in the hope that this would improve his general health. Unfortunately he just kept getting sick!! I tried a few ‘alternative’ options, but nothing worked!!
By the time he was about 3, close to 20 doses of antibiotics later, my daughter was born. I was at my wits end and did not see how I would cope with a constant sick toddler and a newborn. Then a friend told me about homeopathy and referred me to an excellent homeopath. She nurtured and coached me with her remedies and knowledge, but also iterated the fact that avoiding hormones, antibiotics and eating as clean and natural as possible is one of the best ways to stay healthy. I started to do more and more research and realized the effect of the above food choices on illnesses like cancer, auto immune disease, gut health etc.
We started to be more conscious of what we eat and after a few months, I could already see the difference in my son AND could not believe what a big difference it made in my daughter’s life by living this way since birth.

When the opportunity came to buy FREERANGERS, I saw this as a sign and grabbed it with both hands. We have a few trusted and long term suppliers, but we also constantly search for special suppliers who share the same beliefs and add value to what we offer you, our clients!
