Three years ago in April a group friends and I started little vegan community dinner in the basement of an apartment building.The idea was to share vegan food with friends, show people that vegan food doesn’t have to be shitty, provide a venue for up and coming vegan chefs (Melanie!) and to foster a supportive community of vegans in Denver. Plants & Animals Denver was born out of that idea and that lead to Neat Market and countless bake sales, outreach opportunities and eventually provided my friend/business partner Vanessa and I the opportunity to open NOOCH Vegan Market last August.

It’s been amazing to watch it grow from 20+ people in that basement to 100+ people a month @ Green Spaces Denver. So please come out on April 3rd and celebrate Chomp’s 3rd birthday with us!

I can’t believe it’s been three years already, Thank you to everyone who has supported Chomp, volunteered, hosted us, told a friend, cooked or donated product for the raffle. It’s wonderful to be a part of such a caring community!
