Vegan US

VeganUs is a plant-based meat

company in Orlando and was cofounded by a family of vegans and golf enthusiasts – Dr. David Mao, Jessie Cheng, and Joanna Mao. The goal? To make a plant-based diet a lot more enjoyable and accessible to everyone, including on the golf course. Their NoChicken and NoBeef products are Non-GMO Project verified, incredibly easy to prepare, and simply delicious. Having conducted diabetes research at Harvard Medical School and obtained a Ph.D. in engineering from MIT, Dr. Mao deeply understands the health benefits of a plant-based diet as well as the “sausage-making” to create the best products. On the other hand, with a prior career in finance and education in marketing and plant-based nutrition, Jessie is a natural vegan cook and is the artistic soul behind the VeganUs products. Last but not least, as a freshman in high school, Joanna actively participates in the development and promotion of VeganUs products (in between range sessions, that is.) Dr. Mao has been on his “Break 80” conquest over the past year, coming infinitely close quite a few times but still waiting for the golf god to nod his head. Anyone else?

The King & Bear and Slammer & Squire sit in the beautiful coastal region of Northeast Florida between the Atlantic Ocean and St. Johns river. It only fits that golf’s history be located in the nation’s oldest city, St. Augustine. Walk through the golf’s Hall of Fame corridors, tune up your game at the PGA TOUR Golf Academy, and enjoy a vibrant downtown. There is plenty to do on and off the course.
