It's always exciting for some of the WholeSoy team to venture away from our base in San Francisco to explore the fast growing world of organic, vegan, non-GMO, gluten-free foods! It's also an opportunity to meet many of the people who help bring WholeSoy onto the shelves of your local grocery stores.

Natural Products Expo West is the biggest and most influential yearly trade show for all things Natural and Organic. As you can imagine then, it's important for WholeSoy's team to attend to maintain a strong presence in this (fast) growing industry. 

This year, we made great connections with WholeSoy fans, new potential retailers, existing retailers who want to bring in more flavors, vegan chefs, bloggers, and more...

From all of us at WholeSoy, Happy New Year! You did it! "Due to overwhelming requests" several Kroger divisions, including QFC, Ralphs, and in addition now also King Soopers in Colorado, are taking WholeSoy back and in even more flavors than before!!!
We are overcome with joy and gratitude because it's you, our loyal customers, who made this happen. As soon as more details come in, we will update you on the locations that will be stocked with WholeSoy again. It will take a few weeks for the yogurts to arrive back on the shelf but we're working on it as fast as we can. Send these stores a thank you note too for listening to your requests!

2012 was an incredible and busy year for us. We hit a significant milestone: the best year in sales ever of our soy yogurt cups! Many thanks to you for helping spread the word!

2013 started with lots of changes in the world of non-dairy yogurt. In the last few months alone, three different companies have stopped making their non-dairy yogurts (WholeSoy is not one of them)! These changes have resulted in confusion and rumors swirling around the marketplace as retailers make adjustments and rearrange their shelves. Our phone lines have been ringing off the hook and we've had lots of questions on our Facebook page so we wanted to clear up any rumors you may have heard...

Hooray! PCC Natural Markets in the Seattle, WA area are now carrying WholeSoy Unsweetened Plain soy yogurt! If you live in the area and have been waiting to sample our Unsweetened Plain now is the time to go check it out.

If by chance you don't see a shelf space for it yet, it wouldn't hurt to kindly ask a team member of the store when they expect it to be available because you can't wait to buy all of it off the shelf! Just kidding, of course, but we wouldn't mind if you did!

Live in another area that still doesn't carry Unsweetened Plain or any other flavor? Try bringing a WholeSoy request form with you to your local store next time and then contact us to let us know where you made a request.

All around the globe we see the dedication to the Earth this April! Earth Day is coming up on April 22nd, but there are many other events happening this month as well. We're delighted to be a part of several events and campaigns this Earth Month. Here are some we'd like to share with you and encourage you to get involved or share with family and friends!

Meatout began in 1985 as a grassroots diet education campaign to bring awareness to the benefits of a plant-based diet and promote meat and dairy alternatives for grocery stores, restaurants and other food service based companies. Today, hundreds of Meatout events are held annually on or around March 20th across the world. To keep the spirit alive throughout the year, Meatout Mondays have also grown in popularity and have even been adopted and encouraged by restaurants and cities like our own hometown of San Francisco, California!
