About THE VEGETARIAN EXPRESS
Our Story
Connie Vail is one of the three original founders and co-owner of The Vegetarian Express. Connie recently invited Sandra Sturkie to be part of spices247 as a new co-owner.
The Vegetarian Express was born at a super bowl party as The Vegetarian Express where the girls do their latest greatest vegetarian recipes. The need to make it easier to eat healthy gave birth to the idea to start a company that night.
The ladies started meeting and the Vegetarian Express, Vegan Seasoning line was born February 2004 in Lansing MI. Now it’s in Huntersville NC.
Connie is an avid cook and chef who also holds a certification in culinary arts including baking and pastry.
Connie loves giving health lectures and teaching vegetarian cooking classes. Helping people to prevent disease is the real issue to her. Nutrition, exercise, rest, fresh air, sunshine, lots of pure water, being moderate and balanced (Temperate) in all that we do and trusting in our Creator. These 8 are the natural laws of our being to promote good health. She has been a vegetarian/vegan for 62 years, and has lectured across the US, India and Africa. She loves to entertain and cook, experiment in the kitchen. She has been married since 1978 to Steve, she has two children Lori and Daniel (Daniel was accidentally electrocuted when he was 18 in 1998) and 3 grandchildren Avalon, Sage and Elijah.
