“… it was quite a big change… when I was growing up, I even used to like hunt and fish, to be honest. I mean, that was part of our family tradition through generations, I made friends through those sorts of activities. My father and I used to do those things and my grandfather [too]. So, growing up around animal cruelty… it was very natural for me. …saying, “no, I'm not going to continue to participate in those sorts of things,” was actually quite a big transition and a scarry one. I didn't know what that meant for my relationship with my family.” - Frohman Anderson     “You know, he's a very wise young man and he knew exactly how to get us, which was through education…  for Christmas, he actually said, “I don't want any gifts. I don't want any presents. I just want you to watch these movies and give me the time to talk about them.” …my husband and I watched Forks over Knives and Cowspiracy. And if you told me that morning that I would have been vegetarian, I probably would have said no. And then the next morning it was, it was just so obvious.” - Kim Anderson Kim and Frohman Anderson are partners in Everhope Capitol, a fund that invests in entrepreneurs and businesses that replace animals in the supply chain. Kim is also the creator and co-founder of Plant City, the world’s first and largest vegan food hall. It’s located in Providence, Rhode Island. Kim is Frohman’s mother. Frohman went vegan in college and his family soon followed suit. Soon after, the family business became a plant-based investment fund, and Kim founded Plant City with Matthew Kenney, one of the top plant-based chefs in the world. In their first year they served 450 thousand guests. This is the story of the power of one family, and how that one family is changing the future around how and what we eat.

Kim and Frohman Anderson: Plant Powered Family 

"There are plant-based and vegan companies that have a tremendous potential to change the consciousness of our country and our world... we're trying to be a part of that."On this week's episode of the Eat Green Make Green Podcast, I sit down with Rhode Island native Frohman Anderson.  Frohman is the co-founder of EverHope Capital, a private venture capital fund focused on supporting and scaling businesses that create a more sustainable and livable planet for current and future generations.  We talk about how Frohman got started in entrepreneurship, how him and his younger sister started, grew, and sold a successful skincare company while still in school, why he became vegan, the unsustainable nature of animal agriculture, the enormous opportunity of the clean meat industry, and more.  Frohman's knowledge and passion for making a difference in the world is very evident.  I very much enjoyed getting to know him.. and I'm a huge fan of anyone who takes me out for local vegan tacos.
