Some great memories from previous Vegan Feasts & VegFest

VegFest 2024

We’re absolutely buzzing with excitement to be part of VegFest for the second time this year!  Since our debut last year, we’ve had a whirlwind of amazing experiences, and it’s all thanks to our incredible vegan community. Together, we’ve celebrated three unforgettable All-You-Can-Eat Vegan Feasts, each one bigger and better than the last. Your passion and support push us to reach new heights, and we’re thrilled to announce our next Vegan Feast, set for November 2 & 3! Feasting a few times a year has become a tradition we cherish, and we can’t wait to continue this journey with you.

But that’s not all! We’ve been working hard behind the scenes to expand our vegan offerings, bringing you more delicious options every day. Whether you’ve already fallen in love with our Vegan Berta pizza or you’re eager to try something new, we’ve got you covered. We’re on a mission to create something that will become your new favourite.

“Our second year at VegFest is quickly approaching and this year, we pulled some strings, and we’re bringing something we believe is truly special, something that is not yet available Canada.

This year at VegFest Edmonton on August 31 the Impossible Hot Dogs, make their debut!

These are the same ones that got Joey Chestnut banned from the Nathan’s hotdog eating contest. After doing some testing, I can confirm that they are every bit as good as the Impossible Foods burgers. I have tried every brand of vegan hot dog I think that there is. The Impossible Foods hotdog texture and taste really elevates veggie dogs to new heights.

Now for the not so good news – we hoped we would have them available for sale in store, but it looks like this product still won’t be available in Canada for now. So we are sorry to say that we won’t have them for a bit, but we are thrilled to be able to have them at this celebration of all things vegan. You won’t be disappointed.

Since our participation in VegFest last summer, I have had to pinch myself to see if I am dreaming. We started hosting Vegan Feast Event Dinners in our restaurants, and people really showed up to support the events. This all grew from our attendance at VegFest last summer, when we arrived with a couple of hundred pizzas and a BBQ. We had no idea what was going to happen, and it was a blast. Thank you to everyone for your support, and I can’t wait to see you at VegFest 2024.

Thank you for inspiring us, for growing with us, and for being the heart of our vegan community. We’re so excited to see you all at VegFest Edmonton!”

A Look Back at Vegfest 2023

We had so much fun June 24, 2023

My name is Dan Pazder and I am the Director of Produce for Freson Bros. I am very excited that we are sponsoring VegFest 2023, as I was a vegetarian for 9 years, and then went vegan 5 years ago. I’m really looking forward to sharing some of the fresh vegan options available at your local Freson Bros. Fresh Market.

It’s not lost on me that it is unusual for a company that started as a Butcher Shop to be participating in an event called VegFest. Freson Bros. started in Hinton in 1955, and obviously the world has changed significantly over the last 68 years. I have only been with the company for 10 of those years, but it has been incredibly rewarding watching veganism grow, both in the industry, and within our own company.

In addition to being a VegFest sponsor, we’re thrilled to be there on the day showcasing our Vegan Pepperoni Pizza (aka Vegan Big ‘Berta). I am not just saying this because I work at Freson Bros., but it is my all time favourite vegan pizza. The Father Dough fresh pizza crust bakes up like our sourdough bread and Beyond Meat’s pepperoni is new to Canada and fills a long open void in my life! We use our in-store made pizza sauce, and a light amount of Daiya cheese to bring it all together.

If you are reading this before the event, I hope to see you at VegFest. If you are reading this after the event, I hope you loved our Pizza!

We offer Everyday Vegan Options

Did you know we also have lots of other tasty vegan options available? Any of our Sourdough made in store HOT pizzas can be made vegan as well with the addition of daiya cheese instead of regular cheese and we’re able to make the Impossible burger vegan with a different bun and daiya cheese – just ask!
