April Update!

Hello All!

Happy Spring to everyone! The snow is almost all melted and the robins are running rampant. I know the beginning of April is early for it to feel really spring-like, but I can't lie- I was really sick of winter and I'm liking these 60 degree days.

Spring fever has also hit Vermont Soy! Every month, I post that we are crazy busy, but this month we are really are CRAZY busy! We begin distribution of our Maple Ginger Baked Tofu this coming week, and Jamie and Allen and the rest of the soy crew have been working hard to make as much of it as they possibly can. We just got the boxes delivered yesterday, and they look beautiful! They're bright orange and very eye-catching, with the trademark cut-out of the shape of Vermont on the front of the box. Sophia and I have been on the phones, telling as many people as we can about the baked tofu! We use this awesome program called TurnLink to schedule and keep track of phone calls that we make, and Sophia and I both have over 50 calls scheduled for this coming Monday. Crazy! But it's all worth it because the baked tofu is AMAZING. I never even cook it or prepare it at all because I just eat it right out of the package as soon as I open it. Because it's a baked tofu, it's already a prepared food! The convenience of it is really great. This is the perfect tofu for people who aren't sure what to do with tofu.

Another piece of exciting news for us at Vermont Soy is that we are about to enter the New York/New Jersey market with all of our soy foods! I've been working hard to introduce myself to a lot of stores in that region, and Allen has been in constant contact with the distributor that we will be working with down there. There are a lot of really awesome stores and restaurants in New York City and around the state, and it's really exciting that some of those places might be carrying our products!

Right now, our new line of soymilk sizes is due with a launch date in early June. So stay tuned for that! And look for the baked tofu in stores starting at the end of next week! You won't be disappointed, I promise.

Keep in touch, folks! Thanks for all your continued support!

Peace,
Beth
