Here at Silk, we believe in making delicious plant-based food that does right by you and fuels our passion for the planet. That’s been our elevator pitch (OK, carton pitch) for more than 25 years, and it’s why we’re among the OGs of dairy-free. We’re here for everyone, from vegans to burger lovers, because our purpose is progress. And everyone can make room in the fridge for that.
Back in 1977 when the visionary founder of Silk started experimenting with soy in Boulder, Colorado, it was waaaay out there. But what was once on the fringe—plant-based eating—is now mainstream. That's why we manufacture across the country: because we believe in the power of plants for people and the planet.

We’ve been around long enough to know how to make plants taste amazing, so you can always count on us for the mmm-factor. But did you know it takes 80% less water to make a half gallon of Silk than it does to produce a half gallon of dairy milk?* From water conservation to supporting bees, we’re out to show the environment some love too.

We’ve come a long way since our humble tofu-inspired beginnings. Here’s a look at some of the milestones that make us Silk.
