Hey Pickles!

Sorry for the replay, but we had to regroup after a colossal fail at Rochester VegFest thanks to Mother Nature!

We hope this finds you well, and we will be back to tell you all about what happened in Rochester next week!

We will also be talking about Big Bite Buffalo VegFest that's happening this coming Sunday in Buffalo NY! We hope to see some of you there!

Wish us luck LOL.

Anyway, thank you so much for always supporting what we do. We couldn't do it without you, and we wouldn't want to!

Much love, 

Sam & Christine
