Some Twin Ports residents might be surprised to discover Duluth is home to a vegan microbakery. Cake Bandit has been serving up tasty alternatives to traditional baked goods since 2016.

Ellen Vaagen, the sassy, dreadlocked woman known affectionately around town as “Crafty Ellen,” is launching Vaagen’s Vegan Sauce, the Twin Ports’ first vegan blog on April 22.
The launch party will take place from 5 to 8 p.m. at the Red Herring Lounge and feature sample platters of Vaagen’s vegan snacks, along with free recipe cards.
Due to the weather, we have decided to cancel the potluck that was scheduled to take place Saturday (Oct 3rd) afternoon. We’ll make up for it next year. Don’t forget about the end of the week celebration at Beaner’s on Monday (Oct. 5th) featuring Jerree Small and Jamie Ness!

Veg Week starts Sept. 29 and we need as many volunteers to help plan the events as possible. Are you involved with a local band? Have an in at veggie friendly establishments? Want to host a veggie potluck? Interested in passing out information at local colleges or distributing posters?
We are meeting at Beaner’s at 10:30 this coming Saturday (August 8). You need not be vegan/veggie to join us – all are welcome!
Compassionate Action for Animals hosts an annual Veg Week in the Twin Cities and we would like to kick one off in the Duluth area! The event includes a “Pledge to be Veg” element in which people either sign up to be vegetarian or vegan for the week depending on their current diet, and receive a vegan care package and a Pledge to be Veg Card that offers discounts at local veg-friendly establishments. There are many things that we could plan including film viewings and veggie cookouts. The more help and ideas the better this event will be. Help put together Duluth’s first annual Veg Week!
