About Seth Tibbot

In 1980, Seth Tibbott founded Turtle Island Foods, now “the Tofurky Company”, on $2500 savings from his 8-year career as a teacher/naturalist. The company’s first product was a tasty fermented Indonesian soy product called “tempeh”. Many people, including his midwestern aunt and fellow elementary school teachers, thought selling moldy soybeans to the meat centric American public was a very bad idea.

For 15 years it appeared the naysayers were right as Seth pursued his dream while losing his shirt as a pioneer of the early plant-based foods movement. With an income of only $300/month, Seth built a 3-story treehouse that he called home for 7 years. In 1995, also against the advice of his partners, Seth introduced the first nationally marketed vegan holiday roast named “Tofurky”.

The Tofurky brand now includes 35 different vegan products that are sold in 27,000 stores worldwide. Seth has chronicled his “40-year overnight success story” in a new book, In Search of the Wild Tofurky, that is now available “Wherever fine books are sold, or the shelf just below”.
