Founded in 2017 by Diane Callaway, the Delaware Veg-Fest is an annual free community outreach event showcasing the benefits of nutrition literacy and lifestyle changes

Unfortunately, Diane's parents died of degenerative diseases. After the initial shock of their diagnoses and later passing, she needed to understand how this happened to such healthy people. They wined and dined in the best of restaurants for many years. Could their eating habits have been related to their early deaths? This devastating experience provoked an urgency in Diane to investigate the relationship between nutrition, lifestyle and disease. She  interviewed oncologists, internists, and cardiovascular doctors. It wasn't until traveling to the mid-west, and consulting with staff at an integrative hospital that she connected the dots; nutrition, lifestyle and disease are related in every way. That is when Diane decided to get licensed and certified in whole food plant-based nutrition. The pain of loosing both parents at an early age is what gave  Diane the passion to do what she is doing. Together with her husband, they share the powerful message, "when diet is unhealthy medicine is of no use, when diet is healthy, medicine is of no need."
