Join us tomorrow for a book signing with Gene Baur, co-founder of Farm Sanctuary. Gene will be signing copies of Living the Farm Sanctuary Life: The Ultimate Guide to Eating Mindfully, Living Longer, and Feeling Better Every Day from 7:00 to 8:30pm at Common Good Books in St. Paul. We just published a  review of this book on our blog. Check it out to learn more about how this book is equal parts memoir, cookbook, and practical guide to living a more compassionate life.

We’d like to extend our gratitude to everyone who joined us at our Annual Banquet last Saturday. We had a great time and enjoyed delicious vegan food, including a magnificent main dish prepared by The Herbivorous Butcher who generously sponsored the event. Big thanks to all of the volunteers and donors who helped to make the event such a success. To see a slideshow of photographs from the event, take a look at our most recent blog post, Good Times at the Annual Banquet.
