Live from Little Bear Sanctuary Show Special Guest Chef David Marsella 9July2021

Today at 1 pm ET.

Goldylocks Productions presents Live from Little Bear Sanctuary with Christopher Vane.

Christopher Vane co-founded Little Bear Sanctuary, a nonprofit farm animal sanctuary in Punta Gorda, FL, in honor of his late mother Ursula (which translates to “little bear” in Latin). They shared a common passion for animals and Ursula often dreamed of providing neglected, once-abused animals a safe haven.

While originally from New York, Chris surprisingly started off with a career in human healthcare, eventually landing in Florida working as a real estate broker. When he met Randy, everything changed…for the better, that is! Their relationship sparked a new passion to live each day with purpose. After they got married, their desire to provide a better world for farm animals was greatly amplified. Together, Chris and Randy followed through on Ursula’s dream and established the Little Bear Sanctuary in 2017. Now, 160+ rescued farm animals call Little Bear Sanctuary home, and – thanks to Christopher’s compassion and dedication – each animal has been given an opportunity to experience love and freedom.

Little Bear Sanctuary provides a permanent home for farm animals that have been abandoned or can no longer be cared for by the owner in order to allow them to live out the remainder of their lives in a cruelty free environment. We are committed not only to a vegan lifestyle but the essential education of pigs as pets. Our animals are never kept in cages or pens and are free to roam in their natural habitat.

Special Guest: David Marsella

David Marsella is an avid world traveler and lifelong foodie. Growing up in an Italian household, food and family were always the main event and inspired David’s love of cooking at an early age. While traveling, David enjoys sampling different types of cuisine and loves how local street foods represent the true vibrancy and flavor of a community. David has lived in New York, Houston, and Atlanta and he currently resides in Los Angeles with his husband Steve and three rescue dachshunds.

“Moving to LA offered me a new perspective on culturally diverse and trending food scenes. Vegan options abound and I’m always amazed at the creativity of vegan menus.” David further dipped his toe into the vegan scene via the camaraderie of vegan friends and family members. He loves to host gatherings with friends and family and of course cook and bake up a storm for them.

“Food is a perfect conduit for bringing people together to celebrate life and I wanted to learn to make vegan foods to be inclusive of all my guests.” While Covid has put a pause on David’s love for traveling and social gatherings, he has found a creative outlet in launching David’s Kitchen LA and filming videos to share his joy of food with the world.
