Friday Roundup: Traveling Vegans like Philly Food & A Few Farm Farm Fest Photos

Hope you had a chance to prepare for a sustainable Easter this weekend! Here’s what you missed this week on the green front, as well some Photo Friday fun below:

Also, we went to the Wheeler Del Torro pop-up this past weekend. It was an interesting mix of vegetarians (and non) sharing their experiences & dining on a delightful speciality menu. Did I mention the Dom Perignon was also flowing freely?
