Founded in 1977 by two self-described hippies, Rochester’s SoyBoy makes organic tofu and tempeh for retail and food-service customers. The privately owned company remains employee-centric, with team members averaging 10 years or more, while its original firm tofu and 1982-launched Not Dogs carry the brand’s long plant-based-food history. SoyBoy uses organic, largely regional ingredients and environmentally minded processes, including certified organic U.S.-grown soybeans for its tempeh.
