About this product
Product Information
From treehouse dream to global brand, Torfuky founder Seth Tibbott tells the triumphant story of a family-owned, eco-friendly enterprise that led the great vegan renaissance and made millions-without selling its soul. 'If there ever was a person more ill-prepared to run a business than I was in 1980,' writes Tofurky founder Seth Tibbott, 'I have yet to meet them. ' Against all odds, however, this tree-hugging educator with no business background managed to build a global plant-based food brand worth millions. How did he do it? This book details the improbable journey from treehouse to state-of-the-art eco-manufacturing plant churning out 12 million pounds of Tofurky per year. It wasn't an easy ride-first nine years of business brought in a grand total of $31,000-but Seth held on, experimenting with products, staying true to his belief in eco-friendly practices, and, when necessary, getting out of his own way. For anyone who feels they have something great to offer the world but lacks formal business training, this is a story about hope, grit, and selling the dream-without selling out.

Reviews
"Seth Tibbott is an American Original. His story is so outlandish, so unbelievable . . . you'd think it was fiction. A man, a treehouse, a tempeh factory in an abandoned elementary school in the middle of nowhere, and eventually a tofu turkey! And somehow, through it all, he managed to build a hugely successful company and become one of the most important evangelists in the natural foods movement that took off in the United States in the early 1990s."--Guy Raz, Host and Cocreator of NPR's How I Built This , the TED Radio Hour , and Wow in the World "Seth's epic journey from his treehouse to flying high with Tofurky is one of the most inspirational in the history of the natural food movement. This book isn't about how an old hippie achieved success, but about a man who lived his truth and maintained his humility throughout his own evolution, and thereby touched lives across multiple continents, including mine." --Miyoko Schinner, CEO, Miyoko's Kitchen "Expert advice and inspiration from a most unconventional source. Seth Tibbott, and the momentous meat-free mission of Tofurky, the company he co-founded, has done more for human health, the planet, and the animals than all their fiercest competitors combined--while maintaining the highest level of integrity. An education in the business of ethics." --Eric C Lindstrom, author of The Skeptical Vegan and The Smart Parent's Guide to Raising Vegan Kids "Tofurky is an iconic international brand that inspires compassionate vegan living around the globe, while retaining the integrity of purpose born of its humble origin. Beginning as a small start-up operated by Seth Tibbott living in a treehouse in the Oregon woods, Tofurky has grown into a global force. Seth is a good friend and colleague, and I'm excited that his uplifting story is now being shared in this book." --Gene Baur, co-founder Farm Sanctuary and author of best-selling Living the Farm Sanctuary Life "Putting down roots nearly 40 years ago, Tofurky continues to pave the way for a plant-powered future with its delicious vegan products, including its famous holiday roast, now sprouting up worldwide. This compassionate company's innovation is evidenced not only in its nourishing foods, but also in its eco-friendly production facility, and in the way it leads by example with a commitment to social justice values, pro-actively supporting equality and kindness for all." --Erica Meier, founder, Compassion Over Killing, "Seth's epic journey from his treehouse to flying high with Tofurky is one of the most inspirational in the history of the natural food movement. This book isn't about how an old hippie achieved success, but about a man who lived his truth and maintained his humility throughout his own evolution, and thereby touched lives across multiple continents, including mine." --Miyoko Schinner, CEO, Miyoko's Kitchen "Expert advice and inspiration from a most unconventional source.

This is important because they are the visionaries of the brand based on mission and ethics rather than money; and speaking of money, being self-owned means they can continue generously giving to organizations that are helping animals." --Toni Okamoto, Vegan Outreach "Putting down roots nearly 40 years ago, Tofurky continues to pave the way for a plant-powered future with its delicious vegan products, including its famous holiday roast, now sprouting up worldwide.
