At first glance, being a vegan or choosing to eat a plant-based diet in Springfield Missouri sounds like a difficult feat. Although it might be surprising, the vegan population in Springfield has grown exponentially in recent years, and the community has responded to this change. Plant-based eaters can now find a vegan option at many restaurants in Springfield, and grocery stores (even Walmart) are starting to accommodate vegans with fully plant-based sections in their stores. Amy Bennett is the owner of the recently opened vegan fast food joint, Bosky’s Vegan Grill. Bosky’s is now one of the very few restaurants in town that provides a fully vegan menu.
