Vegan, Eco-Friendly Wine

The Delivery: Certified Sustainable Chardonnay, Liberated Chardonnay, and Pinot Noir from Carmel Road Winery

The DL: What better way to celebrate the arrival of the weekend—not to mention San Francisco's 80-degree weather—than with a bottle of vegan vino from local winery Carmel Road? Carmel Road's wine is Certified Sustainable, which is fitting considering Earth Day is on Sunday. You know what else is on Sunday? The SF Vegan Bakesale! Stop by the VNHQ for some tasty treats and read up on 5 Ways Being Vegan Saves the Planet to gear up for Sunday's festivities. Cheers!

Popsicle Party!

The Delivery: Born with a Junk Food Deficiency by Martha Rosenberg, Eat Smart, Eat Raw by Kate Wood, Cavi-Art plant-based caviar, Pop Nation gourmet popsicles, and Au Naturale makeup
Staff Pick: The popsicles

The DL: The arrival of these gluten-free, vegan ice pops had the VN staff in a tizzy—especially once we realized that these were no ordinary popsicles. With flavors such as Salted Dark Chocolate and Grapefruit Mint, these unconventional frozen treats would be an ideal refresher at the sun-soaked Coachella Valley Music Festival, which has been the subject of much buzz here at VNHQ. While some of us will be enjoying the weather in Indio this weekend, others of us will be gorging on vegan sweets at the SF Vegan Bakesale, taking place on Sunday at VNHQ. Come by and say hello!

Juice and Sweets

The Date: Wednesday, December 7
The Delivery: Whoopie Pies, Chocolate Chip Bars, Sweet Potato Brownies, and Carrot Cake from Cafe Indigo, and juices from Genesis.
Staff Pick: The baked sweets from Cafe Indigo.

The DL: December is here, the holidays are impending, and anyone in their right mind has a craving for baked goods. Imagine our delight, then, to receive a massive shipment from Cafe Indigo of its whoopie bars, chocolate chip bars, brownies, and carrot cake. Yes, please! Speaking of delightful baked goods, do you live in the San Francisco Bay Area? VegNews is co-sponsoring the Holiday SF Vegan Bakesale, to be held December 18, and we would love it if you would be willing to either bake or just come down to the sale and stock up on delicious vegan baked goods!

Delicious Desserts

The Date: Wednesday, July 28
The Delivery: A children's book, a vegan dessert cookbook, and some delicious-looking treats from Good Stuff by Mom & Me
Staff Pick: Are You Sure That's Vegan? by Claire Gosse

The DL: Our mouths are watering just flipping through this cookbook, which includes a ton of color photos of each recipe. We want to get back in the kitchen and start baking right now!

Speaking of baking, if you're in the SF Bay Area this Saturday, July 31, come out to the Vegan Bakesale. There will be sweet treats galore and you'll be supporting a great cause!

Bakesale for the Vegan Masses

Date: Friday, January 22
The Delivery: The best apron ever
Staff Pick: The new aprons specially made for the SF Vegan Bakesale

The DL: The San Francisco Vegan Bakesale has been a major success since its start late last year. We thought that maybe we'd make it a bit more hip with customized aprons, modeled here by VN Editorial Assistant Abigail Wick.

Don't miss the Vegan Bakesales benefiting Haiti happening tomorrow, Saturday, January 23 in New York, Los Angeles, Portland, and the SF Bay Area!
