A Vegan Experience

 
 
A Vegan Experience
 
 
We just catered a Vegan Wedding! Catering a Vegan Wedding was a fun and informative venture in learning about alternative dining choices.
The definition of Vegan is: a strict vegetarian who consumes no animal food or dairy products and also: one who abstains from using animal products (such as leather)
 
 
In a nutshell, there seem to be three main reasons for being Vegan:

For the animals:
This one is pretty self-explanatory.

For the people:
We take grain from starving countries to feed animals to kill and eat ourselves.
Heart disease and Cancer are top illnesses causing early death and they have been connected to the consumption of animal products

For the planet:
The business of raising animals to kill and eat contributes to climate change, animal extinction, water pollution, deforestation and wilderness destruction.

 


The thought of creating a Vegan Dining Experience may seem intimidating without the use of meat and dairy.
Our Executive Chef David Tolly created some innovative and delicious menu choices for the Vegan crowd.

Being Vegan is certainly not for everyone, but there are many reasons that people choose Veganism and it was a fun and deliciously good time. As a matter of fact the vegan carrot cake was so good that we are selling it at Bristol Farms in Canton, with some of our other baked items! We have a selection of Tea Breads and other Goodies on sale now!
