What led you to where you are today?

Animals in agriculture are one of the biggest contributors to greenhouse gas emissions, and we want to do our part to turn back climate change. Besides animals are unnecessarily forced to suffer for our enjoyment; did you know that there are over 70 million pigs living on U.S. farms today for food production?

What do you wish you knew before embarking on your entrepreneurial journey?

How much support and enthusiasm we get at every turn from people happy to support our mission!

What can you help the VEGPRENEUR community with?

Always happy to help in whatever I can! We're all working towards the same mission, and I'm sure there's tons we can do to support one another, and the nature of the need will be constantly evolving over time!
