How Did Award-Winning Goat Cheese Turn Vegan?

After Julian and Carol of The Sanctuary at Soledad Goats retired from their business as "award-winning goat cheese farmers and owners of a sanctuary for retired dairy animals", according to one green planet, they surprisingly went vegan.

These two good Samaritans interested in rescuing goats, pigs, chickens, cows and dogs suddenly realised that it made no sense to keep earning out of animal milk-based products after "rescuing" them. They had to do just either of these. And so they decided to just continue to rescue "sick, abused, neglected and unwanted animals" and stop producing cheese products.

Hence, they not only went vegan, stopping the consumption of meat or animal products, including eggs, milk or honey, but they also found a new way to make cheese with nuts, and the milk obtained from nuts. They thus reinvented their award-winning cheese recipe, according to hngn.

Hence, deciding that their business was now "cruelty-free," Carol and Julian Pearce were awarded by the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) Veg News, with their Compassionate Business Award.

PETA president Ingrid Newkirk said. "The Sanctuary at Soledad Goats is an excellent example of how kind companies can create heart-healthy, animal-friendly products." The two now run a non-profit rescue organization that houses goats, chickens, sheep, and other animals, using the proceeds from its vegan cheese sales supporting its operations, according to vegnews.
