A Company Dedicated To Vegetarian Eating & Cooking
America's Source for Delicious Soyfoods
Bringing you quick-cooking, vegetarian meat substitutes for over 25 years. We're proud to offer hundreds of products and books that help you eat better and live longer!
The Mail Order Catalog has been selling vegetarian food products and cookbooks since 1983. We are located in the serene rolling hills of south-central Tennessee, along with our sister company, Book Publishing Co., one of the leaders in developing and distributing information on vegetarian diet and nutrition, specifically using soy products.
Since 1971, we have lived and worked in America’s largest intentional community, The Farm. Members of The Farm have been pioneers in the development and use of soyfoods in this country and have helped to establish the healthfulness of vegetarian diets for people of all ages.
This catalog contains many of the foods The Farm helped put on the “natural foods map,” including nutritional yeast, textured soy protein, and tempeh starter. The Farm’s Tempeh Lab was the first commercial source of tempeh starter in the United States; almost all of the tempeh operations in this country began with starter coming from this little company. The cookbooks published by our sister company, Book Publishing Company, are considered vegetarian classics. The New Farm Vegetarian Cookbook was the first completely vegan cookbook on the market.
The Farm continues today as a respected source of information on vegetarian cuisine. Some of the customer service representatives you’ll talk to at Mail Order are 2nd generation Farm residents, and life-long vegetarians. We believe in what we sell--this is food we eat ourselves. What makes our day is being able to help new vegetarians (or anyone interested in meatless eating) pick out items from our catalog to try for the first time.
We’ve also have a long relationship with our dear friend, Steve Meyerowitz (The Sproutman), one of the world’s foremost experts on sprouting. Steve is also highly regarded for his experience and standards in choosing and testing quality sprouting seed, and we’re delighted to offer you Steve’s picks of the cream of the crop, year after year. Steve is also on the lookout for the best in sprouting equipment and supplies, so you can feel confident that his choices will give you good results.
We feel that eating a vegetarian diet is one of the most important things you can do to ensure good health. Each one of us has different nutritional needs and personal food preferences, so we offer a variety of products from which you may choose. These products will range from organic, unprocessed foods to foods that are processed to taste and look like meat and dairy products. If you have food allergies or sensitivities, a low tolerance for sodium, or other nutritional concerns, please ask our customer service representatives about which products will suit your needs.
Join our world-wide community of friends! We’re more than a business--we want to make a difference.
