4) VEGAN AT THE BALL GAME
Many stadiums, including the Orioles’ Spring Training home, are becoming more vegan-friendly!
Hey, sports fans! I’m Heather Moore, the new volunteer Veggie Happy Manager for the Baltimore Orioles. I’ve been following the O’s my whole life, and I think they’ve been “following” me, too—although that’s probably just a coincidence. I was born in B’more, and I moved to Norfolk, Virginia, with PETA, the organization where I now work, in 1996. Soon after that, the O’s announced that their Triple-A team was going to play in Norfolk, about 10 minutes from my apartment. Years later, when I was considering moving to Sarasota, Florida, the O’s announced that they were going to hold Spring Training at Ed Smith Stadium, which happens to be about 10 minutes from the house I ended up buying. Clearly, I was meant to get Spring Training season tickets.
Since I’ve been vegan for 25 years, I’m just as interested in the options in the concession stands as I am in the action on the field. To continue reading, go to:

9) BALTIMORE VEGFEST
By Nicole Turner
I volunteered with The Vegetarian Resource Group on May 6th, 2017, at the Baltimore VegFest and had a blast. Though the weather wasn’t the nicest, it didn’t stop people from coming out to enjoy the cruelty-free festivities. This is an annual event that is organized by The Humane League, an organization whose mission is to reduce suffering by inspiring change at all levels. Baltimore VegFest is a wonderful event that celebrates healthy, sustainable, and compassionate eating and the benefits of a vegetarian and vegan lifestyle. The event is free and includes various speakers, a wide variety of food, local veg restaurants, vegan cooking demonstrations, and free gift bags! My favorite part about the festival was having an abundance of food choices. My favorites were the vegan pizza, the mac and cheese, and Vegan Treat’s donuts and brownies! The event took place at the University of Maryland Baltimore County College Campus, so there were many students that came out to the event as well. It was great to see such a variety of ages attending the festival, from young kids to older adults. This was my first time attending Baltimore’s VegFest, and I look forward to returning next spring.
Throughout the day, I made great connections with visitors and many were interested in learning more about The VRG. I had conversations with many individuals who had health conditions and were using a plant-based diet to address their health concerns. I also had an interesting conversation with representatives from Poplar Springs Animal Sanctuary, a 400-acre non-profit refuge in Poolesville, Maryland for farm animals and wildlife. She told me about the events they have throughout the year and the importance of spreading awareness about animal cruelty. It was exciting to be around many organizations that share a similar message as The VRG.
Some of the most popular resources people gravitated towards were VRG's “Baltimore Dining Guides”, “Veganism in A Nutshell” pamphlets, kids coloring books, and of course, the Vegetarian Journal. The local dining guides were extremely popular since a majority of the people attending the festival were from the area, and they were interested in learning more about veg-friendly restaurants in Baltimore. Many people were interested in taking a free copy of the Vegetarian Journal, which is filled with product reviews, delicious vegan recipes, health information, and more. People were also eager to take home our materials to give to friends or family that were interested in transitioning to a vegan or vegetarian diet. Many parents stopped by to learn more about how to assist their children during the transition, and we provided them with copies of our “Vegan Nutrition for Teenagers” and “Vegan Nutrition in Pregnancy” brochures.
There is something special about Baltimore VegFest. It is a tight community and so much compassion radiated from the event. It was great to share the Vegetarian Journal with so many people and tell them about The VRG and our mission. The interest level was very high, and I felt proud to be spreading awareness about such important issues. I am looking forward to next year’s event and our I hope to see you there too!

10) MY VEGETARIAN RESOURCE GROUP INTERNSHIP EXPERIENCE
By Julia Mathew
I originally came across the intern position at The Vegetarian Resource Group after an exhaustive online search to find an internship suitable for credit towards my Environmental & Sustainable Studies minor. I read some of the previous interns’ experiences working at The VRG and knew that it would be a good fit for me due to its diversity of responsibilities and projects, as well as its general goal of educating the public about veganism. I was also particularly interested in learning about how small businesses and non-profits work.
I interned at The VRG during the Spring 2017 semester of my senior year at Loyola University Maryland. I worked on many articles during my internship about subjects that related to my personal interests, such as traveling. I wrote various vegan city guides and reflections of my experiences as a vegan in Copenhagen, Stockholm, Helsinki, and Reykjavik, as well as a restaurant review of Hiltl in Zürich. I also wrote an article about some of my mother’s South Indian recipes and conducted an interview with a vegan chef to be published in the Vegetarian Journal.
I also helped write product reviews for various brands such as Laughing Giraffe Organics, Good Karma Foods, Munk Pack, Hodo Soy, Breyers, and Talenti. First, I contacted companies requesting samples on behalf of The VRG for the Veggie Bits section in Vegetarian Journal. Then I and others sampled the food and wrote a brief review for the successful products. I sampled many delicious vegan products such as flax milk yogurt, gyro slices, almond milk ice cream, and oatmeal squeeze packs.
Another weekly task I had was to assist in updating VRG’s online restaurant guide by researching vegan-friendly establishments within the United States and Canada. I also participated in The VRG college scholarship review process by assessing applicants’ essays, as well as reviewed video submissions for VRG's video contest. I was given the opportunity to represent The VRG at various events through outreach booths at Leg Up Farmers Market in York, Pennsylvania, Green Festival in D.C., and Harford County Earth Day Festival in Aberdeen, Maryland.
I really enjoyed my VRG internship and learned a lot about the vegan movement both in and out of the office. I made many valuable connections with fellow vegans and activists. I turned in a portfolio for credit to my minor advisor that included most of my work for The VRG. Much to my surprise, it ended up being over 30 pages long! I never realized how much I wrote for the VRG because I was so interested in and excited to do my projects. Subsequent to my internship, I will continue to volunteer at The VRG for future events such as Central PA VegFest, the Animal Rights Conference in VA, and DC VegFest.

11) GREEN FESTIVAL EXPO
By Casey Brown, VRG Intern and Laneece Hurd, VRG Volunteer
Recently, we had the opportunity to represent The Vegetarian Resource Group at the Green Festival in Washington D.C. This is a nationwide event that promotes green living and sustainability, and it features many exhibitors including vegan product companies and animal welfare organizations. We were pleasantly surprised by the number of vegans and vegetarians that were present at this festival. It was exciting to learn that several of these individuals were long-time members of The Vegetarian Resource Group. There were also many non-vegans who came to our table with open minds, and were ready to be educated on the many benefits of a meat-free lifestyle. They left with several copies of The VRG’s Vegetarian Journal, informative flyers and brochures, and a fresh new perspective and consideration for this lifestyle.
We both really enjoyed this event because we were able to have some great conversations about a wide variety of topics relating to veganism. We spoke with many people that were interested in transitioning to veganism or vegetarianism. Most of these individuals had similar concerns and were either not sure what to cook or how to remain healthy on a vegan/vegetarian diet. We were able to provide them with recipes found in Vegetarian Journal and our ‘Multi-Veggie Burger’ recipe card. A number of people also found our recipe books interesting, specifically our Meatless Meals for Working People cookbook, which provides simple and quick recipes that are perfect for busy lifestyles. One lady stopped by to show her friend our book, Vegan in Volume, which she used to distribute to hospitals, so they could prepare vegan options in large quantities.
In terms of health, a number of people were curious as to where vegans receive their protein. We were able to inform them of the abundance of plant protein sources and provide them with a copy of our “Veganism in a Nutshell” brochure, which lists plant sources of many common nutrients. A few parents also stopped by to learn more about vegan nutrition and cooking for their children and found the “Pediatric Manual of Clinical Dietetics” vegetarian chapter and our “Vegan Nutrition for Teenagers” brochures to be very helpful. One student stopped by and was excited to receive a copy of the Vegetarian Journal since it featured an article about being vegan in Thailand. She explained that she is going to be studying abroad in Thailand next year, so she was excited to learn more about how she could remain vegan while she was there.
Although this event was held in Washington D.C., our Baltimore Veggie Dining Guide was very popular among this crowd. Many people were interested in learning more about veg-friendly dining in the area, and we were also pleased to inform them that a complete restaurant guide, covering the U.S. and Canada, can be found on our website: http://www.vrg.org/restaurant/index.php. One family mentioned that they found our restaurant guide to be extremely helpful during their recent vacation in Colorado.
We also spoke with other organizations including individuals who held summer camps and were interested in having the VRG come speak to the kids to teach them about the benefits of a vegetarian lifestyle. As usual, children loved receiving our “I Love Animals and Broccoli” coloring books, and they were very excited that we had something fun for them. One child also picked up our “Be Kind to Animals, Don’t Eat Them” sticker, and stated that he agreed with the message. It was exciting to see future generations already being so conscious of their decisions.
We both had a great time connecting with new people and spreading the message of veganism at this event. Next, you can find us at the Central Pennsylvania Vegfest in Lancaster, PA on Saturday, June 3rd.
VRG will be at the Ft. Lauderdale Green Festival Saturday and Sunday, December 2 and 3, 2017. See:

12) THE GRUB FACTORY - A REVIEW OF BALTIMORE’S NEWEST VEGAN RESTAURANT
By Brigette Dumais
Finally, there is a vegan breakfast joint in Baltimore City! The GruB Factory is a Black owned and operated vegan establishment that recently opened and has become such a gift to Baltimore. Their motto is “Whatever you like, we can do it vegan!” The GruB Factory serves breakfast all day, offer specialty entrees like a vegan Philly Cheese-Steak, and they have vegan donuts and other baked goods.
The atmosphere in The GruB Factory is laid back. You order food at the counter and it is brought to your table by a waiter. While you are waiting for your meal, there is plenty of beautiful, colorful, Egyptian style artwork painted on the walls for your viewing pleasure. The staff is welcoming and the overall vibe is comfortable.
I ate more food than I thought was physically possible for petite little me to consume because everything I tasted was so incredibly delicious that I couldn’t get enough of it. My meal started with a coconut donut. The texture was light and airy, and the frosting was not too sweet. The shredded coconut on top of the donut really tied it together. Next, I ordered the French Toast platter which consists of three fluffy, cinnamon sugar encrusted French Toast slices coupled with two side dishes. For my side dishes I ordered the coconut “bacon” and tofu scramble. I mixed the bacon and the scramble together and it was quite a heavenly combination of flavors. The savory scramble and the semi-sweet coconut bacon complimented each other nicely. As I was finishing up my breakfast platter, I caught a glimpse of someone’s mac & cheese order being brought to their table. It looked so appetizing that I knew I had to have it. This was easily the best mac & cheese I’ve ever had. It was creamy and savory with garlic and tomato.
Even though I ordered an absurd amount of food, I finished every bite. It was absolutely delectable. I am looking forward to going back to try the Philly Cheese-Steak. Ultimately, there is nothing I can say that will do The GruB Factory full justice so I strongly urge you to treat yourself to an amazing meal at The GruB Factory! You’ll be glad you did.
The GruB Factory is located at 1210 N Charles St, Baltimore, MD 21201. They are open Monday thru Saturday for breakfast, lunch, and early dinner. Sundays they are open for breakfast and early lunch. Their phone number is 443-602-7018 and their website is
