It seems like everyone in the community does a lot of manual labor, and it's really hard to get a ton of calories from a vegan diet especially when you need to feed 73 people.

Dairy and meat are calorie and nutrient dense. There are some fruits/vegetables/nuts that are as well of course, but it sounds like they mostly sell their nut butters.

They eat a lot of nut butter.

The best nut butter is when they switch production from almond butter to cashew butter, there's like 50lbs of nut butter that comes out that is (::gasp!::) mixed in unknown amounts, so it can't be sold with accurate packaging. Hot tip, almond/cashew butter is amazingly delicious regardless of what proportions you mix it in.
