WHO ARE WE?
100% plant based comfort food in Knoxville, TN!
We provide as many organic items as possible. Certain “dirty” items will ALWAYS be organic. The two things that drive us daily are animal rescue and vegan food, so we are combining both! Our name comes from the deep love of animal rescue and the strong belief of providing lifetime sanctuary for abused and neglected animals. Join us for some of the best vegan comfort food you will taste anywhere.
Our main goal is to eventually acquire land and start rescuing farm animals with the restaurant profits.
We are excited to show everyone the steps we make along the way. We can’t wait for you all to take part in this fantastic journey with us. ♥
