I make Tofu: Emily
“Hi, I’m Emily and I make Twin Oaks Tofu. I like getting into the flow & rhythm of work in the Tofu Hut, listening to music playing, and part of the beehive dance of activity. I make tofu because I like making healthy food that people actually want to eat!
My favorite part of making Twin Oaks Tofu? Well, weighing the tofu blocks is great fun. Dealing with the thick slices and the thin slices and those that are conveniently between one and 1.20 pounds. It’s just beautiful when they are exactly between one and 1.20 pounds! After weighing and trimming, we package our tofu and then it’s ready for distribution to great stores like Whole Foods and Earth Fare. It feels good to know that lots of people are enjoying Twin Oaks Tofu… and that I helped make it happen.
My best tofu-making moment so far has been when music unexpectedly came on which most reflects my experience at Twin Oaks Community . I was just learning how to run the packager and finally getting the hang of it, and this song came on… It was perfect. Everything felt complete in that moment. Tofu nirvana.”
USDA Organic: The only label to trust
There are lots of different “organic” labels out there. Who can tell which is really organic? It’s pretty confusing.
At this time, there is only one approved Organic standard, certified by the USDA and awarded the Quality Certification seal. It is highly sought after, but awarded only to those who meet and exceed the stringent requirements mandated by the United States Department of Agriculture. So, realistically, there is only one Certified Organic label that you should be looking for, and that you can trust: the USDA Organic seal (shown here). And it’s on Twin Oaks Community Foods products, as is the Quality Certification label.
This seal is your best assurance of REAL ORGANIC QUALITY. Not a gimmick, or marketing strategy, or media spin; this designated seal is backed by all the bureaucrats Washington DC can offer. And we’re actually glad of that! Because, at this time, this seal is your ONLY TRUE QUALITY ASSURANCE that the product you are buying meets the ANY organic standard.
Twin Oaks Community Foods, and other growers and manufacturers of organic products, must meet the strictest standards to be eligible for the USDA Organic label. It’s about trust, and assurance, and ethics. And this seal is the only real sign of it. We are proud to carry it.
