Jones, an organizer for the annual Central Coast VegFest.  She was on #LunchBreakLIVE last year making some amazing dishes.  Check out that episode HERE.

After retiring from a dual career as a yoga teacher and real estate broker, Jenny B. Jones started the San Luis Obispo based Central Coast VegFest in 2017 while sitting on the beach in New Zealand, where she has spent the last seven Springs with her husband, Ross, a vegan of over 35 years.  When they are not living in California or down under, they travel in their Sprinter van attending VegFests and vegan eateries around the U.S. and Canada.

Cooking tutorials, personal stories, and fabulous vendors will all be featured elements of the third annual Central Coast VegFest on Saturday, February 15, 2020, from 10 a.m. until 5 p.m.

The lineup begins with a cooking tutorial on Whole Food Plant-based meats and proteins, taught by Cuesta College Plant-Based Nutrition Department’s Professor Elisabeth DeSwart.  She plans to talk about the wide variety of meat-like foods one can make at home or buy locally and affordably.  Free samples of “burger bites” will be handed out to the audience.

Austrian award-winning cookbook author Daniela Lais will present at 11:30 a.m. on “Vegan baking with Eggs and Butter.”  Her cookbook, “Easy Vegan Baking” makes her an expert on the subject, and she’ll discuss at length how to replicate eggs in a variety of ways, including an egg salad sample, free to those in the audience.

Keynote speaker Renee-King Sonnen of Rowdy Girl Sanctuary in Austin, Texas will appear at 1:30 pm to share her powerful and moving story of marrying a 5th generation cattle rancher, only to fall in love with his cows and then initiate the first beef cattle ranch vegan conversion in the history of Texas, the United States, and most likely, the world.

As plant-based living gains popularity in the global marketplace, the Central Coast VegFest is proving to be a breeding ground for new vegan products and vegan businesses in SLO county.  One favorite story is of Ivy Alvarado, who attended the first Central Coast Vegfest over two years ago simply out of curiosity.  Eating great food at the event and seeing the excitement in the vegan movement inspired Ivy to start her own pop-up food stand selling Impossible Burgers around the county, including at last year’s VegFest.  Now in 2020, Ivy will be selling her ever-popular burgers, and sides from her new “Plant Ivy” food truck venture.  What a beautiful story!

If you are on the Central Coast this weekend (February 15th) stop by the Vegfest.  It is free of charge and you are sure to be blown away by all of the amazing food vendors, food demos, new vegan products, and educational lectures!
