Vegan stallholders David Lowes and Andreanne Pelletier, co-founders of Organic Village’s Soy-free Tempeh believe the market will be a hit, not only for committed vegans but for those thinking about exploring the lifestyle option.
‘It’s not veganism per se, more than it is people making ethical choices for the products they choose to have in their lives, said Dave and Andie.
‘Gone are the days of meat and three vegetables – we are literally spoilt for choice and we are seeing more consumers – not just vegans – beginning to adopt a conscious cruelty-free life.’
