About Ret Taylor

Born in a Wyoming mountain town with eleven people, I went on to live and work in some of the biggest cities in the world. In each of them, I instinctively sought out and spent time in their most natural spaces. In 2008 while climbing trees in Central Park, I started wondering what it was about spending more time in nature that made me feel happier, healthier, more creative, and more alive. I\'ve been researching and experimenting with that question ever since. In one of my favorite experiments, I spent fifty consecutive days entirely outdoors. From this, I emerged with the knowledge that my purpose in life is to help others feel better through a deeper connection with the natural world. In 2017, I co-founded Ned & Co to do precisely that. Since then, Ned has gained a reputation for creating some of the highest-quality natural alternatives to pharmaceuticals on the market. Everything we do, from our marketing to our community building to our products themselves serves to tell the story of the benefits of a deeper connection to nature.
