Volunteer Sunday at Cloven Heart, and A Ton of Local Vegan News

I am going on a day trip to Cloven Heart Farm Sanctuary in Waco for one of their weekly Volunteer Sundays from 10-12 PM. I have an ongoing poll for those who are interested in joining me. So far June 1st and 8th work best for the majority.

If you are interested, please enter all available dates you’re free in June (multiple choice) and I will make a final call later this weekend/early next week.

Please be sure to put your full name in the poll. Please reply to this email with your name and confirmation that you voted so I can tie your vote to your email. That way I can communicate with you the details!

Thanks!

• Moonlight Dining’s Fork & Film that was planned for May 25th is postponed. New date is TBD.

• Dora's Table Vegan Mexican Recipes has a vegan cookbook out, Comida Casera, and is doing a book signing tour in Dallas on 5/31 at Whose Books. You can find their post here and subscription/tour info here.

• Happea Vegans is supplying the “meats” at Beyond the Bun in Lewisville for their amazing sandwiches! Post mentioning this update can be found here.

• Happy Vegan Food Truck (not to be confused with Happea Vegans) is back! They are now at the Downtown Garland Square. They are collabing with both Froot Kaves for their thirst-quenching juices and PT CUTI Creamery for their vegan ice creams as well! You can find their update and hours on IG here, their Froot Kaves collab post here, and their PT CUTI Creamery collab post here.

• OMG Tamales is back as well! You can find their latest menu here. They deliver to the following areas: Lewisville, Frisco, West Plano, flower mound, Coppell, The Colony.

• Van Leeuwen opened a new location this month in North Dallas, 8041 Walnut Hill Lane. This is now their 4th location in Dallas. They have one location in Fort Worth. They offer a variety of vegan options and you can find some of their vegan flavors in stores as well such as Whole Foods.

• Planted Patisserie is doing graduation-themed cookies and desserts as that time is approaching soon for teens and college graduates.

• Nishiki Ramen in Plano is having a Death Ramen Challenge on June 7th. I’ve confirmed that the ramen for the competition is vegan! So if you’ve got the taste for spice, check out the sign-up rules here.

  I, myself, would enter but the idea of being rushed against others and no guaranteed entry as it’s first-come first serve takes away the appeal. I will, instead, do the no pressure Oni Ramen Challenge where if you finish the bowl in 12 minutes, you can get it for free! If anyone wants to join in on that, let me know.
