Education on Farms, Animals, & Veganism

It's great that you've already taken the first step to a more compassionate lifestyle as well as doing something great for the earth. Here are two great resources to find out more about the dairy and egg industry:

We understand. We did not want to go vegan at first because we didn't want to give up our favorite cheese or cream in our coffee. But once we made the decision to go vegan, it felt very rewarding and made it easier. We're here to applaud any small changes you are prepared to make. For instance, try "Meatless Mondays" or try one plant-based meal per week. When you're ready, try a nut based cheese or milk and/or try replacing your meat with Beyond Meat or Omni Pork. You can find some great support in the Facebook group "Let's Go Veganish".

Eating vegan does not have to be bland. Some of our favorite recipes are online at: thegreekvegan.com and fullofplants.com. There are also a lot of fantastic vegan cookbooks including Afro-Vegan by Terry Bryant and The Homemade Vegan Pantry by Miyoko Schinner. For new chefs, try Five Ingredient Vegan by Katy Beskow.
