Nothing will benefit human health and increase chances for survival of life on Earth as much as the evolution to a vegetarian diet.

~Albert Einstein

Welcome to a new place for Vegetarians and Vegans in the Pittsburgh community!

[Curious omnivores, lovers of food & eating, veganic/organic gardeners & farmers, grassroots-community types, and anyone else with  a positive attitude is also welcome of course!]

As this site is [obviously] in it's infancy, it's content at this point is slight.  This will change over time as I put in the effort needed to build an informational website from scratch.  Please see my roadmap below for a tentative schedule of planned developments to this site.  If you would like to contribute some time to this effort, get in touch.

Business owners: If you have a veg-friendly establishment you would like represented on this site, please send me information about products we might find interesting, and I'll have it on the site in short order.

Like this site so far? Please link us on your website, Facebook, Forums, etc, this will help us increase our page ranking so more people looking for Veg* resources local to Pittsburgh can find us!
