Eating green helps keep the earth clean

GREENSIDE – Arts and crafts are also on display and animal anticruelty-conscious visitors can find organic makeup and body products.

 

The Vegan Hippie Connection Market Johannesburg has foodies and animal lovers in a spin over the delicious food on offer.

Hosted at the Pirates Club in Greenside, quality and organic ingredients are prized above all others. Scrumptious, wholesome meals are served by creative chefs such as bean burgers, veggie wraps, non-diary cheese made from macadamias and cashew nuts.

Arts and crafts are also on display and animal anticruelty-conscious visitors can find organic makeup and body products. A variety of animal rescue organisations are involved, such as Claw and Ban Animal Trading.

In the heart of Greenside and Parkhurst, children had a fun time hunting Easter eggs. Money raised from the friendly hunt went to Helga Tsoumbris to help her in her cause to sterilise animals in informal settlements and paying for extensive veterinary bills.

It is definitely a must for all vegans, vegetarians and the by-food curious.
