I want to tell you about Twin Oaks Tofu. Their original and herbed flavor is the best I've had, in taste and consistency, and my Whole Foods now carries it. Did I mention I did my senior thesis paper on Twin Oaks? A cooperative and farm in central Virginia that believes in promoting healthy lifestyles and supporting local farmers.
They write:
“Twin OaksCommunity Foods is a worker-owned co-operative located on 400 acres in central Virginia. We have been in business producing quality Organic Extra-firm Tofu since 1991. Our co-operative began by providing easy-to-use meat alternatives to Charlottesville, Richmond and local vegetarian communities. Over the past decade, positive customer response has urged us to grow and we now provide organic soyfoods to an array of customers up and down the East Coast. We strive to provide premium soyfoods crafted using unbleached well water, organic non-GMO soybeans, and the highest quality organic herbs available. We play our part in supporting local agriculture by using only Virginia-grown soybeans, helping to reduce the use of fuel for transportation. The Twin Oaks Community Foods 30-person crew takes pride in making vegetarian products that are good for our families and yours.”
And they score "outstanding" on Cornucopia Institute's Soy Scorecard (great resource). Check it out
