Professional chefs choose Twin Oaks Tofu as they say it is “the best tofu to cook with”—extra firm and with great texture and taste. Home cooks swear by Twin Oaks Tofu because it’s ready-to-go right out of the package, no pressing or draining needed.
We’ve been making soyfoods at Twin Oaks Community in Virginia since 1991. Twin Oaks Community foods is a worker-owned cooperative, and we live, work and make tofu together in a unique eco-conscious co-housing community founded in 1967. Our eco-community is entirely self-supporting with products made by our own hands. We make our own soyfoods, package and box them right here at Twin Oaks Community, and we handle local delivery, too. We also eat our own soyfoods for meals every day at Twin Oaks Community, so we have a great interest in making it awesomely delicious. Meet a Twin Oaks tofu maker here.
Twin Oaks Community Foods are available east of the Mississippi in local and national markets like Whole Foods and Ellwood Thompson’s, and are served proudly in acclaimed restaurants. Take a look at our map to find out where.
