What makes a farm or community vegan?
A vegan farm is a farm whose every offering is vegan — it grows and sells only plant foods, with no meat, eggs, dairy, honey, wool, or animal-use attractions. That's judged on the operation, not the soil: how a farm fertilizes its fields is an upstream detail that doesn't change whether the produce is vegan. Vegan intentional communities carry the same ethic into how people live together — organized around plant-based food and land stewardship, vegan by charter or agreement. Every place here is fully vegan; somewhere that merely accommodates vegans without being vegan itself we leave out rather than overclaim.
