actually just writing because we’re happy to hear theres more vegans in the area, and I have Allison Ryan to thank for that for putting your site in the news trib. my wife, kids and i are vegans living in BFE also, so it’d be great to hear from a vegan in the area. we go through mendota quite often to go to the drive in in earlville, and the first vegetarian friend i have ever had was from mendota…. back in like 89? scary

Also, I know I’m commenting on old posts, so I hope you don’t think that’s weird and that you still find them!

Yes, that’s really funny! I live in a town called Braidwood, Illinois when I’m at home — when I live at school (which I do now), I’m in Bloomington-Normal. It’s a little easier to find vegan food down here, which is why I hate to go home so much! There is absolutely nothing worth visiting within a 20 mile radius! I was flabbergasted when a town 15 minutes away got tofu. It was a dream come true.

This is hilarious. I definitely know the feeling! I also live in rural Illinois — there is NOTHING in any grocery stores that even remotely resembles vegan-friendly food! I had to travel to about 5 different stores just to find tofu — it’s a sad life. Hahaha.
