Eric & Kate

Hey There! We're Eric & Kate - husband and wife, parents of 5 and over-40 vegans. We believe that "going vegan is the new midlife crisis." Our Vegan journey began on January 3, 2020 when we adopted a whole food, plant based, fully vegan diet. Since then, we've both seen immense changes in our overall health, energy levels, weight and so much more. Our five kids are along for the ride, but none of them are fully vegan at this point. That means they do not eat meat or dairy at home but do still eat meat at school, when out with friends, etc. Welcome to our little home on the web. We're so glad you're here!
