If i hadn't found my perfect house here in Grants Pass, Ashland is definitely where i would want to live. You have a much more vegetarian friendly social climate there. Cheers! ~ pt ~ It’s the most vegan/vegetarian friendly place I know of, which is why I’ve settled here. It’s also a great place for vegans and vegetarians to vacation, which we should let our friends in the group know since many of them are planning trips this summer. Ashland, Oregon has the Oregon Shakespeare Festival which runs from February to October, and accommodations include around 90 bed and breakfasts, a dedicated vegetarian restaurant, around a half-dozen bakeries, a co-op and two other grocery stores with extensive bulk food sections and organic produce, a farmers’ market on Tuesdays with locally grown organic produce, and a wilderness that is a 20 minute walk from downtown, for those who like their food wildly grown (the wild strawberries are in season, by the way). Other attractions in the region include the Britt Festival in Jacksonville, the Vortex in Gold Hill, Crater Lake, the Cascade-Siskiyou Monument, and the Oregon Caves. There is the wolf sanctuary out near Cave Junction, and Wildlife Images up there near Grants Pass. Not far to the south from Ashland, in Northern California is the Farm Sanctuary, where you can meet some huge full-grown beings that were rescued veal calves and scratch them behind the ears or back up on their shoulder blades, if you can reach that far up - they will bow down once you start, so you can to their favorite spots, or they will lay their huge heads in your arms as you rub their cheeks. They’re quicker to get to know you if you’re a vegan or vegetarian and don’t have the smell of a meat eater.... Peace, Tom Sports Rekindle the Rivalries.
