\"\"In a frozen dinner first, the new Candle Cafe Frozen Meals support Farm Sanctuary\u2019s lifesaving work on behalf of neglected and abused farm animals!<\/p>\n

Inspired by the chefs and recipes of New York City vegan restaurants Candle Cafe and Candle 79, and in partnership with The Hain Celestial Group natural and organic foods company, the Candle Cafe Frozen Meals follow the restaurant\u2019s mission to better the individual and the planet by serving delicious vegan cuisine rooted in eco-friendly practices and compassion for animals.<\/p>\n

Candle Cafe founder Bart Potenza credits the formerly abused cows, pigs, and other farm animals who reside at the organization\u2019s shelters in New York and California as the inspiration behind his work.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe frozen food aisle has traditionally been a pretty chilly place for farm animals,\u201d says Potenza. \u201cWe wanted to prove that not a single animal needs to suffer for you to enjoy the decadence of a gourmet meal and the convenience of a frozen dinner.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sold in 9 ounce trays, the Candle Cafe Frozen Meals offer an inexpensive and convenient way for consumers to enjoy the restaurant\u2019s signature dishes, like tofu spinach ravioli, seitan piccata with lemon caper sauce, and mac & vegan cheese. These meals are available nationwide in the frozen food section of Whole Foods Market.<\/p>\n

Farm Sanctuary is a the leading U.S. farm animal protection organization that promotes legislative, policy, and individual lifestyle changes to help farm animals. Farm Sanctuary shelters in New York and California provide lifelong care for rescued farm animals.
