Gentle Fox Farms uses only quality, natural food ingredients; traditional cooking techniques; and packaging that preserves freshness without using any chemical additives or preservatives.
Gentle Fox Farms has developed a line of plant-based meat alternatives that are as delicious as they are appealing to the eye. All of our products are low fat, high protein, low sodium and cholesterol, and are made from the perfect combination of beans, legumes, whole grains, nuts, exotic herbs, and other natural organic ingredients. We have incorporated the flavors of ethnic spices from around the world. Our most spectacular product is a vegetarian turkey that looks and tastes like a real turkey.
Our company's founder is Margaret Afif, the former Director of Food Services for a large, nonprofit organization. In this capacity, she was faced with the challenge of feeding thousands of people with vegetarian, yet delicious and nutritious food. Margaret started to invent her own recipes when she found it difficult to order any products that filled the needs of the vegetarian population she was cooking for. It is from her extensive knowledge of ethnic food production, thirty years of food preparation, and love of cooking that Gentle Fox Farms was created.
Most vegetarian protein foods are not appealing nor do they satisfy the taste buds of people who grew up on meat. Our products are especially wonderful for those who are transitioning from a meat-based diet to a vegetarian one. Our products taste great and come in many varieties. More people are becoming aware of their health. They are interested in products that prevent disease and support vitality. Our products are an excellent health food choice.
Two great concerns are emerging as we enter the 21st century: feeding the world’s growing population and protecting our precious natural resources. According to a study published in the National Geographic (October 1998), 8 pounds of grain are needed to produce each pound of live weight gain in one cow. It makes both economic and ecological sense to use available land to raise vegetables and grain instead of cattle and other animals.
