Episode Description:
In this episode of the SoFlo Vegans Podcast, host Sean A. Russell takes listeners on a journey through South Florida’s compassionate Vegan community. From rising food prices and food insecurity to the inspiring efforts of restaurants and nonprofits working to create change, this episode shines a light on how local heroes are making a difference.
Sean spotlights Vegan Corner, Vegan Cuban Cuisine, and Blue Tree Cafe, which are helping to fight food waste and hunger through community programs like Too Good To Go and free meal initiatives. He also showcases Palm Beach County’s top Vegan restaurants, from upscale favorites like Christopher’s Kitchen and Mood to creative spots like Dope Vegan and La Chia Vagana.
Next, Sean shares the inspiring work of the Florida Animal Rescue Alliance (FARA)—a statewide network connecting sanctuaries and rescuers to help animals in need, from pigs and cats to marine life affected by the Miami Seaquarium closure.
The episode closes with a heartfelt appeal for Hurricane Melissa relief efforts in Jamaica, updates on local Vegan events like Lavender Ring Spa’s grand opening and FARA’s anniversary at Zen Mystery, and a spotlight on new Vegans Explore community partner Brion Hurley.
