Northern Soy, makers of SoyBoy®, was founded in 1976 and remains an independent company that is still managed by the original founders. They readily shared all sourcing information. They source a portion of their soybeans directly from family farmers; when these family farmers do not have enough soybeans to sell, Northern Soy works with brokers and specifies that they only want organic soybeans grown as close as possible to their New York plant.

They write:

“We make SoyBoy brand products, although we're sometimes known by ourcorporate name, Northern Soy. Our Rochester, NY factory may be the onlyremaining large-scale, independently-owned U.S. tofu plant.Currently, 100% of the soybeans we use are organically-grown, sourcedlocally whenever possible.  Every ingredient in the plant is GMO-free,and we never use processing aids or defoamers. Our tofu is known for itsfirmness, high protein content, and year-round consistency.One of our top priorities is creating a safe, healthy work environmentwhere people are paid excellent wages, receive great benefits, and cantake pride in their work. After 31 years in business, we still believe,"Soy to the World."”
