About us

Plant Powered Metro New York is catalyzing the local movement for vibrant health through whole-food, plant based (WFPB) nutrition. We empower and support people who have chosen this diet and lifestyle, raise awareness locally about the tremendous health benefits, and seek to bring about communal change.

Everyone is welcome to participate in our network at any place along the journey to health. Whether you are coming to this way of life via The China Study or Dr. Joel Fuhrman, Forks Over Knives or Dr. Greger, Engine2 or Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn, you will find a community of like-minded friends who are learning from each other and eager to bring the benefits of WFPB nutrition to the wider community.

Our meetings are held online and at various locations throughout New York City, Long Island, Westchester, and New Jersey.

To learn more, visit us at www.ppmny.org and join our mailing list.

Community Potluck at Ethos Farm
Tue, May 19 · 5:30 PM EDT
Ethos Farm, 177 W. Mill Road,, Long Valley, NJ, US
Register here!

Presented in partnership with Ethos Farm to Health, Princeton Eats Plants, and Plant-Based New Jersey

Ethos Farm to Health, Princeton Eats Plants, Plant-Based New Jersey, and Plant Powered Metro New York are teaming up for a community potluck where we'll relish the season's best ingredients and celebrate a healthier and more sustainable lifestyle.

For the potluck, please choose a plant-based recipe made with whole plant foods — whole grains, beans, fruits, vegetables, nuts, and seeds. Please, no animal-based foods, vegan processed foods, white flours, or added oils, and we ask you to minimize added sweeteners and salt.

It’s a good rule of thumb to double a recipe you would make at home — everyone wants to try it! Please bring a serving utensil for your dish and to help us make this a no-waste event, bring a plate, utensils, and water bottle from home.

Hosted by Stef Austro and Pragya Thakur from Ethos Farm to Health, and Karina Pearse from PPMNY.
