Vegan by our standards means, no flesh, no eggs, no dairy, no gelatin, no animal/insect derived additives like Stearyl Tartrate in our flour, Lanolin, Shellac, and honey. No white sugar here, as it is not vegan either. Organics are used when available, and given a huge gigantic preference over anything conventional. Anything organic will be labeled. Only fair trade coffee and chocolate. No exceptions. Fair trade sugar when we can get it, always a preference. (Because people are animals too, and vegan includes not being cruel to them.) And anything locally produced will be used unless there is no local option available... See you all from 10-4 at The Distillery District Market! (and every Sunday from now on!) This week I have dark chocolate vegan brownies, Organic, local vegan apple pies in two sizes, and a whole mess of vegan buttertarts!" | |||
