One of the more than bizarre stories that have come out of NZ, it was in Plant Based News and I thought it was fake, but no it wasn't.

I doubt that they can even legally ask the owner to serve milk, but we will see how it unfolds.

Vegan cafe to close after refusing to sell milk

Morgan Redfern-Hardisty, a New Zealand café owner, has been forced to close shop after removing cow's milk from the menu - despite 'booming' business.

According to reports, the Mangawhai Activity Zone Charitable Trust (MAZCT) - responsible for commercial operations of the park in which the cafe is located - refused to renew Redfern-Hardisty's contract unless he reintroduced dairy.

Mangawhai's Cool Beans Café dropped dairy in July, and six alternatives were offered in its place - one of which was waste-free and made in-store.
