Island Raw’s founder Regina Radisic operates a fully vegan café. It specializes in locally crafted kombucha (at left) and cold pressed juice<br />
(at right), along with artisanal chocolate. Her goal is to create “plant-based cuisine committed to helping you elevate your body, beauty, and<br />
well-being.”<br />

In TCI, <strong>the</strong> burgeoning vegan scene seems closely tied<br />
to <strong>the</strong> health food movement. Provo’s two fully vegan<br />
cafés, <strong>the</strong> Farmacy and Island Raw, cater to both veg-<br />

free <strong>of</strong> preservatives and o<strong>the</strong>r additives. Island Raw’s<br />
founder, Regina Radisic, says her café is frequented by<br />
Rastafarians, many <strong>of</strong> whom follow a clean, mostly plantbased<br />
“ital” diet as a way to streng<strong>the</strong>n <strong>the</strong>ir sacred bond<br />
with nature.<br />
