The Pod network now includes hundreds of Pods and over 200,000 people.We offer support to everyone interested in learning and practicing a whole food, plant-based lifestyle.
Pods are independent groups of like-minded people, working together to spread the message of plant-based nutrition in their communities, as well as have fun and build friendships.
We are excited to announce that the PlantPure Communities Pod Network is officially now Building Healthy Communities, A Physicians Committee Action Network! As you may know, the Physicians Committee is dedicated to saving and improving human and animal lives through plant-based diets, while creating a healthier world in which health and compassion are central values.
Juliette Arnold
Hello, I’m Juliette, the current leader of the Biggest Little Plant Pod. I have been plant based since 2010 and could not go back to eating differently. I started my journey by reading the China Study and making the decision to change what I ate. Since my change in eating habits, I have become more aware of the environment, animal cruelty and agricultural practices. I enjoy meeting people and am happy to share the benefits of eating more plants!
The Pod was founded in 2018 by Kelly Hutchison Farrell and her daughter Emma to serve the Northern Nevada area around Reno. We currently have 250+ members and growing.
If you would like to help with the Pod please get in touch!
