Thanks for listening and thanks for supporting our friends and neighbors in the food-service industry!

During the pandemic, many of us have been experimenting with new recipes and new diets. Among the most popular have been the vegetarian and vegan lifestyles.

That is why it is so good to know that, on Saturday, October 23 from 10 AM to noon, the Boston Vegetarian Socierty will host the 26th Annual Boston Veg Food Fest, all of which will be presented free and online so that people can learn about and even try new foods without leaving their home kitchens!

In fact, the Festival will be taking full advantage of the remote scenario by including not only Boston-area producers but people and products from around the world in a festival they are appropriately entitling “Bringing the World to Boston.” 

The Festival will feature chefs and industry leaders from all over the world who will share recipes and discuss food production, nutrition, the environment, and other vital issues. There will even be a virtual vegan marketplace where vegans and the vegan-curious can learn about the many options available not only for food but for fashion and lifestyle as well! 

Among the sponsors are our friends at Boston Organics, and many vendors will be offering special discounts and promotions for Festival participants, so be sure to go to https://bostonveg.org/foodfest/ to find out more.

An Vegan Restaurant Week is in the works, and there will surely be enough online to comnvince even the most ardent veggiephobe to try something new and to wow the produce lover in every family.
