VegFest weekend!
8.31.2026
Hello foodie friends!
September is at our door and I am awaiting autumnal layers and late summer produce. Enjoyed walking through NW Veg Fest this weekend–lots of intriguing plant-based product, bites, and passionate. (Shoutout to Yomeats pepper-yo-ni sticks I am still thinking about.) Appreciated seeing so many plant-curious folks come through to learn something new or take a step towards a more plant centric lifestyle.
If you’ve been on the hunt for more veg-friendly inspiration, consider this newsletter the slippery slope you’ve been waiting for!
Stay hungry,
