Yes it is there. Hummus & Heifer is straight ahead from this turn off the curve on Hwy 89 south of Panguitch. They're right next to the "Texaco Ahead "sign. If you're driving from the south and miss this turn, no worries; take the next right on Roller Mill Hill Rd. PANGUITCH - Listen up, vegetarians. And meat eaters—don’t go away—there’s something here for you, too. But first, vegetarians. If you’re a vegetarian you know it can be tough in the rural outback eating out at restaurants. It often means hoping you are in the mood for the one or two vegetarian-compatible items on a menu, or creating a meal out of substitutions or sides. If you’re a vegan (no dairy or egg products) the going is even tougher. But for anyone living in or traveling through Panguitch, the outlook for getting a great vegetarian or vegan meal has gotten a lot brighter. And the next great news is that if you’ve brought your best friend, ‘the carnivore’ along, they’re going to be happy, too. Tucked into the little “western town” on the right side of Hwy 89 as you’re taking the curve into Panguitch from the south end is the joint
