Competition Details: If you are entering the competition, please register by Friday March 20th! The day of the event, please bring 2 gallons of chili in a warming crock with a serving spoon. The only requirement is that it be vegan. Competitors can also participate in judging. 

Cooks are asked to arrive by 1 PM to set up and make sure your chili is up to temperature by the time we open up the competition at 2 o’clock. Please also bring an extension cord to plug in your warming crock.

Prizes and bragging rights go to winners in the following five categories:

Best for Carnivores

Best for Crunchy Hippy Vegans

Prizes include award certificates to display so the world knows how awesome your chili is, plus framed photos of rescued animals, gift certificates for local businesses including a visit to the new salt room at Above and Beyond Yoga, and more! 

This has been one of our most fun events over the last couple years and we have been waiting all year to do it again! Whether you enter the contest, or just come hang out, grab your friends and make sure you don't miss this great event!

Sylvia's Story

When an ARC member asked us to save a pregnant "beef" cow on the way to the stockyards, we weren't sure how to help. Thanks to Full Circle Farm Sanctuary who was able to take her, Sylvia will now live out her life, with her calf, and all the other rescued animals at the sanctuary, in peace and freedom, surrounded by gentle loving friends, as all beings deserve.

"A human being is a part of the whole, called by us, 'Universe,' a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings as something separated from the rest -- a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty."

-Albert Einstein
