Vegan Support During the Camp Fire

Last November, between housemates, neighbors and visiting friends, I found myself among 7 vegans driving in the night as a somber caravan of roughly packed cars. A cat was crying out loudly from within a box clutched to the passenger's lap, its guardian apologized to the box profusely. We all looked into the glowing canyon. We were scared at the time, under mandatory evacuation, but at least safe. Our hearts went out to the less fortunate. We would be locked out of our home for more than a week to come, but the fire never reached our community. In that week of floating around Chico, doing what we could to keep stable, we encountered an abundance of love and support for and from the vegan community. For the first night and much of the week, our group, along with our rescued cat and dog, overran the downtown house of a hospitable local produce farmer some of us knew through the farmers’ market. After a few of us woke on the first morning...

Building the Animal Sanctuary

The Veg Collective has access to a 7+ acre parcel in Forest Ranch, based in the foothills outside Chico, California. Once enough resources are available, we will use the property as a sanctuary for farmed animals, following the lead of our neighbors at Animal Place, located a few hours down the road. http://animalplace.org/about/ In addition to farmed animals, the property will house a Rat Sanctuary. Rats are often portrayed as some of the most disparaged animals in our society, yet they possess many profound traits valued by humankind. This sanctuary will shed light on the shared experiences between humans and all of the animal kingdom, guided by the President of the Chico-based non-profit group R.A.T.S. (Rat Assistance and Teaching Society).

Promoting Vegan Agriculture

Produce nutrient sourcing is a highly overlooked topic, even in the realm of veganism. Today, it is standard practice to grow most produce with the by-products of the animal ag industry, including bone meal, blood meal, fish emulsion, and manure; however, this is does not produce as healthy of plants compared to growing produce with organic plant-based nutrient sources like compost tea, kelp, earth minerals and mulch. Vegan agriculture brings us one step closer to realizing a world that is not reliant on commodifying animals. We aim to promote vegan and organic farming practices and support the farming communities involved. "The key findings show stark differences in productivity: Vegan-organic agriculture can be 4,198% more productive than animal-based agriculture in the amount of food produced per acre." https://faunalytics.org/the-potential-of-vegan-organic-agriculture/ The vegan-organic farm under study was 3% more productive than conventio...
