The New Leaf Vegan Society had another successful year at the Valley Earthfest in Berryville, VA! The turnout was even better this year than last year, with many people stopping by the vegan booth. In fact, people were asking for us by name...I think it is because we always have bunches of vegan yumminess to sample. We had peanut butter cookies, tofu cream cheese brownies, chocolate-chai snickerdoodles, chocolate chips, and blueberry muffins. And everything was GONE by the end of the day. We passed out a lot of literature, and talked to a lot of folks who were genuinely interested in what veganism means. We also set out a lot of books for festival-goers to take a look at. My husband set up a seed-exchange booth right next to the Vegan Society booth, and this proved to be a great combination! We were a powerhouse for activism and were busy all day. The festival itself had a lot more to offer this year, with more food options and more music. It was a little chilly for may, but so many people came that it didn't seem to matter too much. I had a great time and it was wonderful to talk to so many people who were interested in veganism!!!
