Chesterton's European Market

The restaurant sources handmade bath products, lotions, aprons, and body sprays from Edgewater Cottage in Valparaiso. Guests can enjoy their meal at picnic benches near the restaurant. However, the restaurant is not completely vegetarian. Overall, it is vegetarian-friendly, but there is an exception with Birky Family Farms, a small family farmer that has been around since 1919. Some concerns have been raised about the treatment of the animals on the farm. The reviewer suggests avoiding dishes such as pork sandwiches that come from this supplier. The restaurant receives 3 out of 5 stars for its vegetarian options and overall quality, but lacks vegan-friendly options. The reviewer encourages anyone with information on how the farmer treats his animals to contact them.

This restaurant always carries handmade bath products, lotions, aprons, and body sprays from Edgewater Cottage in Valpo. There are picnic benches nearby where you can sit and enjoy your treats. That's the positive aspect. However, the downside is that this market is not entirely vegetarian. It is generally veg-friendly, but as noted in the Happy Cow description, there is a family farm that usually provides products. Unfortunately, one small family farmer in the area, who has been around since 1919, raises pigs. It is unclear how well he treats them, as they are kept in confined spaces, have their tails docked, and are not allowed to roam freely. While it is better than factory-farmed pigs, some may still have concerns. It's recommended to avoid their pork products such as sandwiches and ribs. If anyone has information on how this farmer treats his animals, please contact me. I rate this restaurant 3 cows for its rustic atmosphere and vegetarian options, although there are limited vegan choices.

Although the pigs are not factory farmed, some concerns remain about their treatment. It is recommended to avoid their booth if possible. Overall, the market is rated 3 cows due to the presence of the farmer and limited vegan options. If anyone has information on how the farmer treats his animals, please contact the reviewer directly.
