In 1981, Gentle World incorporated as a non-profit educational organization, and its members became a team of volunteer vegan educators and maintainers of Gentle World’s center, which was in Florida at that time.

Throughout the eighties, Gentle world spread the vegan message as far and wide as they could, holding free seminars, cooking and veganic gardening classes, and creating an educational and inspirational vegan mail order business.

In 1987 and 1988, Gentle World produced and catered two successful celebrity  banquets, serving an exceptional and diverse array of international  vegan cuisine, not for fundraising purposes (attendance was free), but for the purpose of “inspiring those who are an inspiration to others.”  Guests included high-profile individuals such as Sidney Poitier, Danny  Glover, Drew Barrymore, and many others.

In 1989, Gentle World moved to the international hotspot of Maui, Hawaii and opened the highly successful Vegan Restaurant.  Along with the mouthwatering dishes that are Gentle World’s claim to fame, customers were served the vegan message in the form of educational materials and inspiring quotes on every table.

In 1999, we moved our educational center to The Big Island of Hawaii,  and in 2000, opened a second, seasonal center in the Far North of New Zealand, to serve as a model of veganic agriculture.
