This is a blog for Vegans and Vegetarians in the Eastern Panhandle of West Virginia and nearby locations. It was started because of the difficulty in finding restaurants serving Vegan cuisine and grocery stores with organic vegan products in the 100-mile-or-so radius of our home location in Shepherdstown (WV).

A snatch:
The 22-year farming trial study found that organic farming produces the same yields of corn and soybeans as does conventional farming, but uses 30 percent less energy, less water and no pesticides.
