| Northwest VEG Relishes our Business Supporters! |
| May 31, 2011 |
Every year - really every month - living a plant-based lifestyle becomes more common as well
as easier. Cookbooks and websites cater to vegan diets, shops display more plant-derived hard
goods, and restaurants -- even when not vegan - display more knowledge and veg options. And
of course, living in our maritime climate we have lots of fabulous produce to keep us healthy
and happy. Part of this bounty of options comes from our strong local community, and all of us
networking with and supporting veg-friendly businesses. We're pleased that so many businesses
also support Northwest VEG and our outreach. Over the last several months we've gained four
new Northwest VEG Business Members: Northwest Organic Farm a CSA with a farm stand
too, in the Clark Co. area; Veg Food & Fit, Wendy Gabbe Day's inspiring website focusing
on healthy living through physical exercise and delicious gluten-free recipes; David Gabbe's
Cooking Classes & Cookbook, with David helping a multitude of people transition to a veg
lifestyle over the last 20+ years; and Heidi Ho Organics, bringing us a delectable assortment of
vegan cheeses. Read on to find out more about each of these NW VEG supporters, plus visit our
website at www.nwveg.org/businesses.php for a complete listing of our Business Members.
We hope you'll support them too!

use organic, non-GMO seeds, and we're certified organic by Oregon Tilth. Visit our website to
