There’s also a practitioner room for massage and other modalities. The upstairs sister business, Veda Studios, opened earlier in the year as a movement studio featuring classes in yoga, meditation, and a variety of dance, such as belly dancing and salsa. Joining with Tim’s brother Dan and other like-minded individuals, Tim and Pippin launched Nectar last September. After about 18 months, they decided to relocate to Asheville. It was there that Tim helped launch Easy Living Foods, a vegan food company. Shortly after, she gave birth to their son Miles and they moved the family to northern California. After that partnership ended, Tim continued to follow his interests in vegan food preparation.ĭuring a 14-year stint in Los Angeles, Tim met and married his wife Pippin. They moved the business from south Florida to Los Angeles. In 1992, he and then business partner William Najger launched Veg-In-Out, a weekly vegan meal delivery service and catering company. As time went on, he found himself cooking more and more often.

I felt better and started learning why.”Īfter this change, Tim began working in delis at natural food stores. From there, it kept going and snowballed. “I started being vegan before I had any real reason why. During college in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, some friends he was moving in with wanted to create a vegan household, so he thought he’d try it out. His mother prepared home-cooked meals for the family and Tim began cooking at the age of seven (big batches of french fries were his specialty). Tim Boissy, who has lived a vegan lifestyle for about 30 years now, says he’s always focused on preparing vegan and minimally processed foods. Promoting a healthy and joyful lifestyle through food, Nectar is a café and juice bar in North Asheville that offers organic, plant-based, living, and gluten-free cuisine. I hope that Green Sage is able to work on Professionalism, Timeliness and Quality of food.Nectar, the sugary secretion in plants that attracts pollinators, is a vital component in the cycle of life. I am not sure if our bad experience was isolated, a result of COVID-19 or simply one of many bad experiences that have not been documented. My husband and I are not picky people, but neither of us ended up eating our food. The food was bad and the coffee was worse. 15 minutes later (for a grand total of over 40 minutes) she came out with our food. She agreed saying “As long as it is not too long, I am really busy.” I then gave her our simple order of 2 coffees, 2 pastries and a smoothie. “Oh yeah” she said, “They keep trying to force us to use the website but it doesn’t work.” I proceeded to ask her if she could just take our order. Both my husband and I got kicked off multiple times and finally ended up approaching this “frantic” woman. Happy to heed her advice, we tried to navigate the website for several more minutes. After waiting outside in the cold for 10+ minutes, a frantic woman came outside and told us to order online. We decided to grab a “quick” breakfast at Green Sage. My husband and I were visiting downtown Asheville for our anniversary.
