Our wonderful little vegan community is not that little anymore, and it’s easier than ever to support local businesses with compassionate offerings. The holiday season is upon us, but these gift ideas are for any time of year.
Note: While many of these places make and sell 100% vegan goods, not all are fully vegan so double check before purchasing. For example, Urban Forage sells mead in addition to vegan cider and wine, and The Buzz has non-vegan waffle mix.

Thanks for the recommendation! These are all great gift ideas!
What’s the name of that chocolate company that makes truffles locally?
As far as I know, it’s Cafe Finspang in the Midtown Global Market. 😀
