The Good Fork Podcast: Jessica Schoeh of Vegan Street fair

Jessica Schoech is the founder and CEO of Vegan Street Fair and Vegan Exchange, two wildly popular vegan events based out of North Hollywood, Calif.

Throughout Vegan Street Fair’s history, Jessica has strived to make veganism accessible to as many people as possible while encouraging veteran and new vendors to push the envelope of vegan cuisine & the vegan lifestyle. It is Jessica’s goal to continue to push veganism to the mainstream while advocating on behalf of those who need it most.

On today’s episode Jessica and I talk about how she created Vegan Street Fair and its massive success over the years, The Good Fork Podcast to talk about the massive growth of Vegan Street Fair, pivoting during the pandemic and the importance of veganism expanding beyond the animals to humans.
