Born out of art, good food, and the encouragement of friends and family, The Art of Good Food had its beginnings in a quiet, off-the-grid, log cabin in the mountains, overlooking the Nine Mile Valley in Western Montana.
Because life’s not free, we gave much thought toward the means of supporting our sustainable life style and to even further reducing our impact on resources where possible. We knew our direction would need to include nature, art, community, and honesty. As our focus narrowed, wholesome, organic, and vegetarian became part of our direction. By the spring of 2009, our purpose had been defined. The Art of Good Food would produce organic, vegetarian soup mixes. Ingredients would come from certified organic growers and suppliers located as close to Western Montana as available. Our market would be those people who live in, visit, or just love Western Montana. That was our commitment to community, and for honesty, it was our goal to use clear and minimal packaging so the beauty of our product could be seen and our packaging did not contribute a large mass to land fills.
All this turned out to be a much larger effort than expected, but with much research, testing, and drive, our soups will be on the shelves in Missoula by the fall of 2009. 
Each of these vegetarian soups are made by hand with all the love that we would use for our own family meals. They are visually beautiful (the art part) and fabulously delicious (the good part) and our commitment to using 100% certified organic ingredients and not skimping on the details, gives our soups the rich and complex flavor you would expect from good, wholesome, homemade food. By paging through the tabs on this web site, you can see and learn more about each of the seven soup products, helpful information about the cooking and ingredients in each product, additional recipes and ways to use the mixes for other than soup.
