Neat Market, at Green Spaces!

** UPDATE: Neat Market has been moved to GREEN SPACES (26th & Walnut) this month. Due to an event conflict at Hoodlab, we are popping up 8 blocks down the road, so come to the right place! **

Neat Market vegan shop-up is a monthly DIY market-club featuring local small-scale producers and 100% vegan goods. It is regulated only by its participants. Many items are homemade, providing the Denver community a way to support a hyper-local vegan micro-economy (anything can be a word if you hyphenate it).

Neat Market pops up once a month. The next one is 11am-3pm at Green Spaces, 1368 26th St., on Sunday April 21st. Stop by to see how you can be a part of the market.

Neat Market was recently picked as “Best Pop-Up Store” in Westword‘s Best of Denver. How nice!

Neat Market Starts its Second Year

 

VEGAN BLOCK PARTY – LOCAL ARTISAN FOODS – GROCERIES AT NOOCH – FOOD TRUCKS – KINDNESS RANCH SANCTUARY – DIY VENDORS – CRUELTY-FREE PREMIUM BODYCARE PRODUCTS – HEMP HOODLAMB APPAREL – SEA SHEPHERD – BRUNCH – HANG OUT

Our first Neat Market was in January 2012. We’ve been at this for a year now! Come celebrate with us by supporting the fantastic local vendors that make this monthly gathering possible. It has been exciting to see the progress our vendors have made over the year, and  we can’t wait to see who steps up with the next big thing in Denver. Neat Market is a launchpad for local cottage businesses and budding vegan entrepreneurs. It is also a chance to meet volunteers from animal-friendly nonprofits and support their work. This month come see the folks from Kindness Ranch (a Wyoming sanctuary for research animals) and Sea Shepherd Denver. 

 

You can also write letters to political prisoners with us, donate soap to The Gathering Place, try some samples, and enjoy the company of Denver’s community of conscious eaters. Vendor list coming soon! Neat Market is a nonprofit event presented by Plants & Animals Denver. Your support helps us grow. Thanks!

 Neat Market Vegan Shop-Up will be at HoodLAB (3354 Larimer St) on Sunday, January 20th. 11am-3pm. Free. Invite your friends.

Speed Vegan and WTS Creatures

Uno by WTS Creatures

Don’t you know? Neat Market isn’t just about food. It’s about books, gifts, and stuffed monsters too! This month’s Neat Market includes a special book signing with the author of Speed Vegan, Alan Roettinger, and the Denver-made plush friends of WTS Creatures.

In Speed Vegan, each recipe is designed for preparing extraordinary food in short order. Readers are offered an array of ideas that are a cut above the standard quick-to-make vegan dish. Sample dishes include: Egyptian Eggplant, White Bean Soup with Tuscan Kale, Beet & Celery Root Salad, Fennel Slaw, Artichoke Sandwich Spread, Moroccan Vegetable Stew, and Chipotle Mushrooms.

What The Stuff? These little dudes are adorable! Handmade without any animal products, WTS Creatures are super huggable, and itching to come home in your tote bag on Sunday. I’m hoping we get to see Lockjaw, Yorg, and Uno.

WTS Creatures

Neat Market is this Sunday, December 16th at HoodLAB (3354 Larimer St., two doors south of NOOCH Vegan Market) from 11am-3pm. You’ll find great gifts like these, plus 3 all-vegan food trucks, homemade artisan food and craft, and plenty of reasons to hang out. Full vendor list TBA soon. We are expecting at least 15 vendors at Denver’s only monthly vegan shop-up!

Goodbye Cruel World!

The world is ending, so we’re all having one last mighty Mayan meal. Wednesday, December 5th at Green Spaces, 1368 26th St. Dinner is served at 7pm. $7-10 suggested donation.

Chomp is a casual monthly vegan supper club. Anybody can come. Our volunteers make the food, you just come hungry. It is helpful if you RSVP (via Facebook or by e-mailing info(at)plantsanimals.org), so we know how much food to make. Around 200 people came last month, way more than we expected, so please help us be ready for you! It’s also nice if you BYOP (bring your own plate and utensils), but we’ve got you covered if you forget.

We’ve got a great menu planned for you inspired by authentic Mayan cuisine:

-Tamales with Chayote, Zucchini, and Roasted Red Pepper
-Mashed Fried Pinto Beans
-Warm Three-Sisters Salad, with Roasted Pumpkin, Black Beans, Corn, and Chili
-Spicy Mayan Chocolate Dessert

Also there will be door prizes, free Oogave soda, samples of High Country Kombucha, and of course the chance to hang out with Denver’s vegan community one last time!

(That is… until next time)

Thanks to Brandi Stanley for the flyer design!
