Welcome to The Philadelphia Vegetarian Social Club! I hope to develop a group for friendly Philadelphians who have chosen to be meat-free (carnivores welcome too, but we'll only eat out at vegetarian destinations!) and who enjoy having meals with fellow vegetarians while having good conversation, and building camaraderie.  I am still somewhat new to Philadelphia myself so this would be a great way to not only explore Philly's awesome foodie destinations but also make new friends. I hope to organ …

With the help of a group of close friends, I identified the need for grassroots education on issues of local food, and systems sustainability. Menu for the Future is the local resource for creating small, intimate discussions around what we eat, where our food comes from, food safety, food insecurity, creating edible schoolyards in our neighborhoods, and supporting or even become local food growers.

This group is for those of us who aren't concerned about bottom-line profits in growing food, raising animals, and keeping bees. Rather, we're more concerned about the health of our environment, family, and community. The purpose of this group is to exchange ideas and share knowledge of sustainable methods that help us to reach this goal. Most of us keep bees or farm as a hobby or as a way to supplement our family's food supply. We acknowledge that some of the conventional practices in farming a …

In an attempt to counteract price of living going sky high as many of o …
