Celebrating Spring Vegan Style!

I know it’s easy to procrastinate, but April is just around the corner and it’s time to start thinking about your vegan Easter and Passover celebrations. We recently had a customer contact us saying that she and her family use their vegan Passover gathering to celebrate freedom for all people and also for all animals. I thought that was such a beautiful sentiment and such a great argument for celebrating vegan Passover and Easter too, that I wanted to share it. She inspired me, and I’d like to follow her example and use these springtime festivities to celebrate new life, compassion and freedom for all beings. Happy spring, and don’t forget to order your vegan Easter chocolates this week!

Also, post here for a chance to win a springtime surprise!

Easter is Just Around the Corner

Allison — Tue, 16 Mar 2010 22:13:45 +0000

Easter will be here before we know it, and there’s still plenty of time to order your vegan Easter treats. Although it often seems like a silly holiday with the pastel colors and bunnies with eggs, there are still fun ways to celebrate this holiday of springtime and new life. When I was a kid, my mom used to grow Easter baskets for my sister and I every year. She’d sprout wheat berries in soil-filled baskets and my sister and I would get to water our baskets every day. On Easter morning our lush baskets could be found hiding somewhere in the house with chocolate goodies hidden in the tall, thick grass, which, incidentally, was pretty tasty all by itself.

If growing your own Easter basket seems a little too involved, try our elegant Easter and Springtime Gift Basket complete with paper “grass” in any color you choose.
