PETA’s ThanksVegan at Kindred Spirits Care Farm — A Celebration of Compassion, Love, and Light
There are certain traditions that feel less like events and more like homecomings — and PETA’s annual ThanksVegan at Kindred Spirits Care Farm has become one of mine. This was my third year showing up for this gathering, and every time I step into this space, I feel something in me soften… open… realign. It’s something I truly look forward to every year because it reminds me why compassion is at the center of everything I do.
The Best Review of the Year: Gorganson’s Plant Love 🫀
Every now and then, a restaurant reminds me why I fell in love with food storytelling in the first place. Gorganson’s Plant Love: homed right in the heart of Downtown Pomona, did exactly that. It sits quietly on a calm little street, offering two hours of free parking and a welcoming energy that feels like home the moment you walk in. The vibe is cozy and modern, with a hint of warmth that tells you this place was built with intention.
But the real story starts with the name. Gorganson’s was inspired by the owners’ son who grew up on hemp milk and unknowingly became the heartbeat of the brand. Every recipe, every bite, carries that same sense of love and creativity.
This is what plant-based comfort food looks like when it’s done with purpose.
