This past Sunday, the Second Annual Triad VegFest was held at the Yanceyville Curb Market in East Greensboro. In the above photo, people were lined up for a taste of Loma Linda's plant-based food. The parent company, Atlantic Natural Foods, is based out of Nashville, North Carolina. Their 53,000 square foot facility manufactures and distributes sustainable vegetarian foods and beverages.
The festival was much larger this year than last and it is anticipated that it will continue to grow and gain in popularity as we become more mindful of sustainable living and eating. At the festival, food trucks, a space to eat, and entertainment was outside and indoors, there was a nice balance of vegan foods and products. If you want to know more about veganism or find a community of like-minded folks, contact someone at Vegans of the Triad or the Triad Vegan Society. When we talked to a representative of the Triad Vegan Society, they assured us that they are friendly anyone committed to making an effort to eat more sustainable (i.e., fewer animal-based foods and products), and they do NOT shame people who still eat meat! Have you ever tried a vegetarian day?
I occasionally have something that's vegetarian, but I could never give up meat.
