Help: Cruelty-Free and Local

Leave your answers/tips in the comments:
Hi Mark,

I have recently decided to begin transitioning to living a more "kind" lifestyle, foregoing products and foods that do not treat animals ethically. Despite my efforts, I am unable to find any local resources that would support this lifestyle and I KNOW that it is mostly because I am new to this all. I don't have a problem buying online, but would much rather prefer to support local businesses.

Is there a direction you can point me in for local vendors (clothing, food, etc) that are conscientious about selling products like this?
