Frances Gonzalez
The Vegan Wine Lady
Frances Gonzalez is a vegan wine advocate and distributor whose work shapes the veganic philosophy of Little Logan’s Farm. As co-owner, she brings her commitment to plant-based living into the gardens, guest experience, and the overall direction of the farm. Her work in vegan wine and her role at the farm are deeply connected, reflecting a shared focus on transparency, ethics, and a modern approach to hospitality.
Many people are surprised to learn that animal-derived products are commonly used in winemaking. Frances had the same realization years ago while touring a winery in France, when a guide casually mentioned using egg whites. That moment revealed something most wine drinkers never hear: animal inputs can appear in both vineyard fertilization and in the fining process, where agents like egg whites or other animal-based materials are used to clarify wine. Since then, Frances has focused on helping people understand how vegan wine is made—and how to choose wines that align with plant-based values.
Did you know that not all wine is vegan?
A Hudson Valley Sanctuary
Little Logan’s Farm is a sanctuary in a broad and intentional sense—a place where what grows, what is shared, and what is offered reflect the same plant-based values that guide Frances’s work in vegan wine. The gardens are veganic, the products they make use only what the land provides, and the environment itself is designed to feel restorative for guests. It’s a setting where thoughtful growing, ethical choices, and a gentle approach to hospitality all come together.
