Plant Basting

After wading through mislabeled search results time and again, we slowly developed a handful of staples.

We add new spots and items into the rotation mostly via Instagram through Philly’s beautiful vegan community! 🕵️‍♀️🕵️‍♂️

🔎 Whether “near you” is local to Philly or elsewhere, we want to know how you go about finding new vegan places!

📣 👋 Today nearly a month after the @njvegfest (on IG) we bring you our recap of all the wonderful vendors we encountered! We’ve highlighted some of these vendors over the past month (on IG) but haven’t had the pleasure of highlighting all of them. We wanted to take this opportunity to put them all in one place! 👉🏼 check the link below👇🏼 for the full “bite” In 2 months the next @njvegfest (on IG) is at the Meadowlands Expo, so use this as a preview of what you can expect 😊 —— A couple lessons we learned are at the bottom of the article but we’ll leave them below: 1. Stay hydrated 2. Make a list of must see vendors beforehand

👋 The recap article for the AC vegfest needs a few final touches before we can post it, so we’ll have that for y’all tomorrow! 🎉

In the meantime, we thought this was a great opportunity to share two books that we’ve found ourselves going back to during this early time in Plant Basting’s life.

🔝 Top: Advertising Secrets of the Written Word by Joseph Sugarman is a pretty expensive book to get your hands on, but it’s laden with details about how ads are constructed. Sugarman does not come to play in matters of the written word.

Bottom: The Startup Owner's Manual is a book every small, and large, business owner should have. A tried and true book of clear steps and lessons for any business venture. It’s not a book that needs to be read all at once so ignore the size. It’s more a manual for you to refer to when things get foggy 🌫 😶‍🌫️

If there are any books 📚 you find pivotal for small business please share in the comments, so everybody can find a new insightful read 🧡

Tips for getting the books free:

👉🏽 For anyone who can’t shell out money right now, there is a pdf version of The Startup Owner’s Manual. Just Google, “startup owners manual pdf”. It should be the first result, but if you can’t find it dm us and we’ll send you the link.
