Welcome to Northwest VEG!
We educate and encourage people to make vegan choices for a healthy, sustainable, and compassionate world.
Event cancellations due to weather will display here.
Christoph Wagner, cellist, and Joanne Kong, pianist, weave together music, reflections and imagery to illuminate how embracing the connections we have to the natural world and all beings can bring about transformative spiritual growth, positive change and planetary healing. The internationally-acclaimed duo has given this presentation at Unitarian Universalist churches around the country, praised for “exceptional technical ability and artistry, and also heartfelt playing and deep soulful connection to the music, the audience, and all beings. The presentation will include a selection by Portland songwriter Daniel Redwood. All these vegan artists have found powerful ways to use their creative skills to advocate for veganism and the animals, and this will be a truly unique event.

We are working on getting Dr. Michael Greger to come to Portland on May 28th to present on his new book How Not to Age. The date, time, and location in this post are all tentative, so check back soon as we work to finalize arrangements.
Join us for our next Dineout May 31 at 6:30 at Yuan Su Vegetarian Restaurant, a hidden Portland gem serving delicious Chinese-American food. Despite the word “vegetarian,” the menu is 100% plant-based and super tasty! The restaurant is spacious, quiet (conducive to conversation), and has plenty of parking. Your biggest challenge is to choose from the very interesting and extensive menu as there are so many choices!
The entrees are meant to be shared family style, plus there are combo dishes for individual meals. Combo Number #1 is so tasty, it includes a yummy Spring Roll, Veggie Ham Fried Rice, Veggie Beef with Broccoli, and the best Sweet and Sour Chicken (not too sweet, not too sour). You also can't go wrong with the basic Tofu with Veggie dish. The appetizers are delicious, too, and include a perennial favorite—Veggie Five Flavor Bean Curd Skin (yuba). Come find your favorite items!
