About Us/Contact Information
The BeanPot Café
is
a
mobile
vegan/vegetarian
kitchen.
We
vend
at
music,
environmental,
and
art
festivals
and
concerts,
and
serve
up
a
yummy
alternative to the typical fried "festival food". We serve
only
delicious, healthy food
made with the freshest ingredients available. The BeanPot Café
supports
local,
independent
businesses
and
socially
and
ecologically
responsible
business
practices whenever
possible.
We purchase a good deal of our inventory
from local businesses in and around Plant City, FL
(where
the BeanPot is based out of).
Our Frozen Coconut Deserts are
from
CocoRam,
a
small
minority-owned
business
in
The BeanPot Café
believes in ecologically sound business practices. Our
mobile kitchen is pulled to events by a 1994 Ford E350 7.3
diesel van that is powered by straight vegetable oil. Yes,
you
can
use
vegetable
oil!

The battery that powers our water pump we use in our trailer is
charged with a solar charger. The
disposable paper/styrofoam goods we serve our food on
are produced with no CFCs.
However,
we
are looking into switching from styrofoam
to products made from corn and/or wheat, which are 100%
biodegradable!*
A vegetarian diet, in itself, has a
tremendous positive ecological impact.
We are committed to spreading the word that a vegetarian diet can be
both
beneficial
to
your
health,
and also
very tasty!
For more information on the ecological and health benefits of a
vegetarian/vegan diet, see our resources and links
page.
The first link to Road's End Organics,
for example, has some very amazing stats listed about just
that.
The BeanPot Café only serves healthy, delicious food made from the freshest available ingredients. Our tortillas and tortilla chips contain no trans-fats. We use whole-wheat tortillas and brown rice instead of white. We cook "ital", meaning we use no added salt in our dishes. We only use Bragg’s liquid aminos, a sauce similar to soy sauce, but with no salt, and, unlike soy sauce, it is not fermented. It contains only non-gmo soybeans and filtered water, and all 16 essential amino acids. For more information on Bragg’s Health Products, see our resources and links page. Our soy “chik’n” and soy taco “meat” are made from non-gmo soybeans as well. All our dishes are vegan unless you choose to add mayo or ranch dressing. Eventually we would like to use only organic produce, which has a very positive impact on the soil and water and is also much healthier for our bodies.
