new products

During this past winter, we have been meditating on a wide range of new product ideas, from marinated tofu, to salad dressings, hummus, cream cheese, cooking spray, soy nuts, soy butter, soy protein powder, edamame, and mayonnaise..... There are so many possibilities!

From these assortment of ideas, the ones that have taken root this Spring include Toasted Soy Nuts and L'oil Cooking Spray. L'oil is a low calorie cooking spray made with organic soybean oil, and we are also making it with organic sunflower oil, of which a percentage comes from Rainbow View Farm in Highgat, VT. Our L'oil Cooking Spray is packaged in a reusable and recyclable hand-pump plastic bottle. Say 'good-bye' to the aerosol cans and propellants of the past, and say 'hello' L'oil Cooking Spray. Look for both of these items at your local grocer. The next item in development is a line of marinated tofu.

Senator Leahy Visits Vermont Soy!

Hey all,

Exciting events this past week: Senator Leahy came to Vermont Soy to hold a press conference regarding the Food Venture Center. The Senator announced funding for the Food Venture Center, which will soon be moving up to Hardwick, right across from Vermont Soy. The Center is a certified kitchen and incubator for small businesses. For example- if you are a small farmer and want to produce pesto out of the basil that you grow, you can't make it in your personal kitchen and then sell it in markets around the area. You would have to make that pesto in a certified kitchen, which many small farmers and producers do not have the resources to do. And that's where the Food Venture Center comes in. You can rent time and space at the Center, and produce your pesto in a certified kitchen without having to build one yourself. The FVC also provides consulting for small businesses- both businesses that are already established and businesses that are still in the works.

Senator Leahy is excited about the Food Venture Center, and it was wonderful to have his support of the project.

Check out some of these pictures from the event above! More pictures will follow.

Be well everyone,
Beth
