This is why I do what I do. I grew up loving animals and did make the step to become vegetarian off and on till I was 31 and have been vegan for 16 years. When I come home, itโ€™s a reminder that the work is not done and saddens me that I cannot save all of them.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you SO very much to everyone that voted for us for Best Fast Casual Restaurant in the 2026 VegNews Restaurant Awards - we did not win, but we placed third! ๐Ÿฅ‰๐Ÿฅ‰๐Ÿฅ‰

This is a testament to the loyalty that you have all shown to us throughout the years. Taking ownership of Native Foods Palm Springs & Denver has been one of the scariest and most difficult decisions of our lives - but also the most rewarding, because of YOU! Our guests!

We are so grateful to be on this journey with you, but it comes with a lot of sacrifice and unknowns. PLEASE keep supporting us. We are no longer a chain, we do not have investors to cover our expenses and losses when times are tough.

Letโ€™s keep working together to make the world a better place for the animals! ๐Ÿท ๐Ÿฎ ๐Ÿ”
