Valley Vegan Society

The Valley Vegan Society holds monthly potluck dinners the in Northampton area for vegans and those interested in becoming vegan to gather, socialize, share food, and create community. Our reasons for becoming vegan include avoiding the animal suffering, environmental destruction, and harm to personal health caused by a conventional diet. Many of our events include a speaker or presentation and lively discussion.
