Hey, I’m Cara!

Vegan · Canby, OR · Joined in April 2026

I have been vegan for almost 15 years. I went vegan for the animals and, like every vegan I’ve ever talked to, I only wish I’d done it sooner. My husband joined me 2 1/2 years ago after he almost died of a heart attack. We have hosted our beautiful beach home for almost 20 years. We have a dog named Luke that we adopted from Texas 4 years ago. We have 2 adult children and 3 grandchildren that we adore. We hope you feel the specialness of our home from the moment you walk in the door.

My Lifestyle

Whole food plant based, vegan for the animals. I’m a retired victim advocate and keep myself busy volunteering for 5 different boards including NW Veg’s Tofurky Trot and VegFest 2026. I volunteer for Green Acres Farm Sanctuary in Silverton Oregon.

Languages Spoken

English and some Spanish.

Companion Animals

Dog & 4 koi

The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well. ~Ralph Waldo Emmerson
