"Food For The Planet" Open for Business!

With the help of family and friends we were ready and served our first customers at 5p.m. on Saturday, July 25th! Initially we will be open on Thursdays through Sundays. We had a busy first day last Saturday. We hope you will drop by and check us out.

We also have a great art show of landscape and nature digital photography hanging on the walls by local photographer Frank Muller. You can see some of his work online at www.pbase.com/veganphoto .

Opening Date Changed!

The opening goal of July 18th is pushed back to July 25th. Some technical difficulties with repairs and installations have made the Health Department permit currently unavailable. Everything should be set once those items are taken care of.
Hope to see you then! And I am looking at August 8th for the 'Grand Opening', will post closer to the date.

Funding Has Been Approved!

Got the most important call today! Funding was approved by Alternatives Federal Credit Union, and for $2,000 more than requested!

Today was spent painting and enjoying the company of my friend John, and catching up on 10 years or so. With his help the top 3/4 of the dining area is painted, and tomorrow is reserved for the bottom half and trim.

My mother had a great suggestion for the lighting- to paste colored tissue paper on the stained beyond repair frosted glass. I tried the technique and it looks amazing!!!

Photos to come soon!
