Meet STL-VegGirl :: Caryn Dugan’s unexpected journey leads to one of Kirkwood's newest businesses

After a sold-out nutrition summit at Washington University, Caryn felt St. Louis was ready for a plant-based nutrition learning center. She called two industry leaders asking them to point her to an existing brick and mortar business that she could model. Both experts stated that no such business existed. Caryn declared, "I'm going to open that place."

"I saved for two years and on the anniversary of my dad’s passing, Tim and I opened the nation's first plant-based nutrition and culinary education center. Right in the middle of the country."
