Local Groups
Because being plant-based is better together. And honestly, who doesn't love a good meet-up?
It turns out one of the best places to find niche groups is through an awesome website called Meet Up! You can enter your location and what type of people you'd like to connect with (in this case vegans or plant-based folks) and the website will generate a list of existing local groups. How cool is that?
