The Otter Juice Company hosted a vegan potluck organized by the community group Herbivora on Oct. 26 at 7 p.m.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Herbivora is an organization put together by Brendon MacCathmohoil. He first arranged the organization in August of 2018 with the intent to provide the community a way to learn more about plant-based foods and healthy eating options, much like the potlucks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI became active with vegan potlucks when I was an undergrad at Fort Hays,\u201d MacCathmohoil said. \u201cThey were really successful and popular for a while. The vegan potlucks provide a sense of community for vegans, vegetarians and people interested in plant-based diets.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first potluck was organized in 2009, but due to circumstances, MacCathmohoil had to take a break from organizing them. They were once again brought to the community in August 2018, after the Otter Juice Company opened.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
