Wildwood® was founded
by one of the original pioneers of the American soyfoods movement,
and has since merged with a Korean corporation to form Wildwood
Pulmuone. Wildwood Pulmuone provided full and open disclosure. They
source both domestic and Chinese organic soybeans. Their Chinese
soybeans are grown on farms that are closely inspected by Wildwood
Pulmuone representatives to ensure that farmers follow the USDA
organic standards. Wildwood Pulmuone also maintained a long-standing
relationship with a Midwestern organic farmer.

Pulmuone Wildwood is a
newly integrated company combining the business activities of
Pulmuone USA and Wildwood Natural Foods. Each of the entities have a
long history in natural vegetarian foods, over 75 years combined.

cooperative organic farming effort in 1955 in Korea and is known for
its commitment to pure foods. In 1995 its founder received the United
