Northwest Center for Food As Medicine
Welcome to Plant-Based Mt Airy!
Mt Airy is known as one of the most progressive and health conscious neighborhoods in the city. Along with our many alternative healers, a growing number of our restaurants offer plant-based options, and some are now exclusively plant-based.
We have grouped eateries, healing centers and veg-friendly businesses into what we are calling Plant-Based Mt Airy, to help you find and experience how easy it is to live a plant-based lifestyle here in our community.
An online, interactive map, with directions, websites and menus can be found by clicking here!
Our Mission
Plant-Based Mt. Airy is a collection of people and their businesses supporting a new way of life, defined as offering food or services that create a healthy connection between humans, food and/or nature, that in turn fosters the well-being of ourselves, others and the planet.
If you know of a business that you think belongs on the map (including yours) please email Elise Rivers.
If you own a business and you’d like to offer a promotion here on the website please email Max Rivers.
