This weekend, we were able to enjoy an amazing fall day at one of our new favorite places: SoL ["Space of Love"] Criations.  We made the drive for their Fall Fair and Vegan Pop Up, which consisted of a huge spread of donated raffled items, a lineup of vegan-based vendors, great food, and of course, free time to spend with the animals.

For those not familiar, SoL Criations is an animal sanctuary located in Endeavor, Wisconsin, and was started several years ago by Brenda and Jon Vetter.  The property is home to pigs, alpacas, donkeys, goats, sheep, and many feathered friends (including chickens, guinea fowl, turkeys, geese, ducks, and pheasants).

Although we've only known about SoL for less than a year, it feels like it's been a lifetime bond just through the kindness and openness that the staff and animals give off when we visit.

What we appreciate about this sanctuary is that they make it obvious that SoL is 100% vegan (aka for the animals, ethically driven, and compassionate to all beings).  SoL is a place that naturally shows us that every single animal out there has an individual personality and wants to enjoy life just as much as we do.  Whether you've been vegan your whole life, or you're just hearing about it for the first time, the doors are open to everyone.
