We had a blast at the Plant Based Peoria Expo last year and we’re going to be back again. Come see us after the farmer’s market in the air conditioned civic center from 11-6. Don’t forget to bring back your empty jars for a $1 credit.

Oh and come hungry, there are sooooo many food vendors. (And retail, and speakers, and shopping, and music…)

Between now and the farmer's market season, you still have to eat, right? What better way than supporting these 18 locally-owned restaurants. They've all created some great plant-based specials for April. Bon Appetit!

Long post alert: Why you’ll see less of us at the market this year…

Seven years ago we had this crazy idea to start a farmer’s market stand selling dried food mixes – soups, brownies, waffles, veggie burgers, overnight oats, and more. We always loved going to the market, so what would be more fun than being one of the vendors!?

And we were exactly right, it’s been a blast! We got to know our “regulars,” became good friends with our neighbors and enjoyed making delicious food easy and accessible.

But (you knew that was coming), we didn’t anticipate how much demand there would be and how much it would increase. (Best compliment ever, so thank you!!) What started as a hobby and side hustle has continued to grow. So we have the worst reason ever for pulling back – too much success.

Were we younger with great ambitions to grow, there would be so many opportunities. But at this point, growth would involve adding employees and then instead of this being a fun job, it would turn into real work with real responsibilities.

There are a few of you out there who I worry may starve, so you’ll be happy to know that we still plan to do a few markets and special events. We’ll keep this page active and list them here. Plus you can always message us to place an order.

You’ll still see us at the market most weekends as shoppers, and if we aren’t there, perhaps we’ll be taking advantage of the open calendar to do some other fun things.

So thank you all for your support, your business and your friendship!

Ann & Vincent

Looking forward to it!

The holidays are behind us now, so let’s celebrate this lovely Winter season! Join us Saturday, January 27, 8:30-12:30 at for our annual Winter RiverFront Market. While still a work in progress, this is our current vendor list. Hope to see you all there ❄️

´Tis the season! We’re all set up at the riverplex today until 12:30. Stop by to see us and all your other favorite vendors from the . (And we have a new cookie mix!)

This is my favorite market of the year! No sun to melt the chocolate, no wind to blow down the canopy, no rain to soak everything, and no cold to freeze my fingers. In other words - perfect!

See you soon!

Hard to believe summer is over and this is the final market of the year. Stop down to stock up! Peoria Riverfront Market

So I’m getting ready to make a post about the beautiful weather for the Peoria Riverfront Market and then I see I was photobombed. Some people think they’re sooo funny…

Blue sky and we’re back! Come see us today at the Peoria Riverfront Market from 8-noon.

Sorry everyone, we’re wimping out today. Jars and water don’t mix well. ☹️

See you next Saturday!

Doors to the Plant-Based Peoria Expo 2023 open at 11. We’re already set up and ready in the Civic Center today. Hall B.

From where I’m standing I can see a giant slide, a music stage, amazing vendors and SO MUCH GOOD FOOD!

We’re here until 6, hope to see you!

Just a reminder that on Saturday July 29th you can find us at the first ever Plant-Based Peoria Expo 2023 in the (air conditioned) civic center from 11-6. 😁

Come see us there, entrance is free and there will be lots of good food and vendors.

Seems interest is growing in the first Plant-Based Peoria Expo 2023 coming this Saturday from 11-6 in the Peoria Civic Center! This morning The Greg and Dan Show invited Riley's Vegan Sweets and Eats and me in to talk about it. Fun experience!

Local Business Presents Peoria's First-Ever Plant Based Expo at the Civic Center - Greg & Dan Show Interviews The Greg and Dan Show welcome Ann Schreifels of Jar d’Ann and Riley Greenwood of Riley’s Vegan Sweets and Eats to promote the first-ever Peoria Plant Based Expo at the Peoria Civic Center from 11 AM – 6 PM Peoria’s first 100% plant based expo features 25+ plant-based food and retail vendors,...

Do I really sound like this??

Even if I sound goofy, I hope you’ll all come see us at the Plant-Based Peoria Expo 2023 next weekend (July 29) at the civic center. Entrance is free and good food and fun is guaranteed!

Peoria’s first ‘plant-based’ expo aims to emphasize the fun around a growing interest in veganism An upcoming expo at the Peoria Civic Center aims to celebrate and build on increased interest in veganism across the area.

Have I mentioned how excited I am to be a sponsor of the Plant-Based Peoria Expo 2023?! Doing some planning at Riley's Vegan Sweets and Eats and she’s selling whole cheesecakes today! But nobody ever said a whole cheesecake has to be only one flavor… 😋

We’ll have information about the expo at our booth at the Peoria Riverfront Market this Saturday (7/22), but then we’ll miss the market and only be at the expo the following weekend (7/29).

The first 50 customers today will get a $1 towards the purchase of any product at the Plant-Based Peoria Expo 2023!

It’s July 29th in the Civic Center from 11-6.

(That means we’ll be there instead of the farmer’s market that day.)

See you soon!

Vincent is working alone today, be sure to stop by and ask all the hard questions! 😂😂

Anything odd about this photo?? 🤣

Come see us today at the Peoria Riverfront Market!

It’s the 20th year of the Peoria Riverfront Market and the 7th year for us. How time flies! Come see us today from 8 to noon.

How did opening day sneak up so fast?!? See you Saturday!

Opening Day is this Saturday, May 20! We have just over 100 vendors to kick off the season. The Blue Duck will be outside serving breakfast items, and Martinis will be open and serving their infamous Bloody Mary’s and Mimosas. Who out there is exited??

It might be a little chilly, but come see us tomorrow (April 22) at Forest Park Nature Center and then go for a hike to warm up.

A nice warm indoor location. Mark your calendars and we’ll see you there!

Mark your calendars for our Winter RiverFront Market!! January 28, 8:30-12:30 at Peoria’s RiverPlex. A list of vendors coming soon!

THE COUNTDOWN BEGINS!!!

In a world filled with too much stuff and not enough time, what’s the perfect gift? Well I don’t know the answer to that, but a consumable gift in reusable packaging that saves a whole lot of prep time and happens to be delicious and healthy has to at least check a few boxes. 😁

We’ll be at the 309 Cultures Holiday Market tomorrow (December 3) from 5:30 to 9:00pm at Premier Event & Entertainment Center

In addition to all the local vendors (40+!), the bar will be open and local bands will be playing. Fun for everyone!
