EtsyVeg 10 Percent for Peace

Join the EtsyVeg Team this week as we promote Ten Percent For Peace. All this week, November 30-December 6, members of our team will be offering great handmade items for you or your loved ones. Through the generosity of the season, all sales this week in participating shops listed below will be donated to a great organization called Food Not Bombs and their "Dollar for Peace" campaign. Food Not Bombs is an all-volunteer global movement that shares free vegetarian meals as a protest to war and poverty, believing that money spent on sustaining warfare could be used to feed the millions of people starving across the globe. With nearly 400 chapters in countries throughout the world, they call attention to poverty and homelessness in society by sharing food, fighting poverty, and seeking a more just and peaceful existence for all!

Shop handmade for the holidays with EtsyVeg shops all this week and help us to raise support for Food Not Bombs!

Panda With Whoopie Pie

Since I believe strongly in handmade and supporting independent crafters, I want to start writing some small reviews of the things I buy on etsy or locally.
This week I received an order of vegan apple caramel whoopie pies from nubbycakes on etsy. They were absolutely delectable and delightful. I got 6 of the pies, each individually wrapped and packed well in a box with a small reusable freezer pack. A helpful page of tips let me know how best to store them and also let me know that all the packaging in the box was recyclable, which I really appreciate from a seller.

And the apple caramel deliciousness! You can't go wrong with a whoopie pie, but when you add in vegan and mostly organic I am hooked. I don't usually buy a lot of baked goods online, but I am so glad I gave these a try. Nubbycakes is also a member of the EtsyVeg and VeganEtsy Teams, so you're supporting someone committed to delicious vegan goods.
