Big Sur then & now

How can we help heal Big Sur and the coast going forward? Vegan tourism is a powerful way! When we ask for plant based meals, buy eco-friendly gifts, and act as responsible visitors, vegans and vegan allies are Big Sur's best friends. We hope you get a chance to see condors, otters, whales and much more.

Anyone can act to save habitat and wildlife! Thank you on behalf of the animals and the planet, as well as future generations. Reconnecting with our past by honoring the people and animals who lived here first is key in our healing as a global community. The future is bright.

If you don't know the history of grapes, take a moment to learn about the struggle faced by farm workers before they were allowed to unionize. With United Farm Workers, Cesar Chavez led a boycott on table grapes and endured fasting until finally laws were changed and some rights were won. 

We have more work to do if we're to carry on his non-violent legacy of compassion for humanity, animals, and the planet. How? Eat locally and organic, support farm worker rights and never waste precious food.  

Grow your own produce whenever possible.

People have often asked, 'who would you have a conversation with if it could be anyone living or not?'... For many reasons, we would love to have a chance to thank Cesar Chavez for his contributions to the world. We thank you for being vegan or a vegan ally as we work toward justice for all.

We ask as you visit this site that you honor those harvesting your food by learning their history and the struggles faced today. Please remember that 'farm to table' is not a trendy phrase, it's a solution for a better world.

Get to know the people that grow your food.
