About

Our Start

Bartleby's Food began as a food truck in Boston, Massachusetts in 2018 by Stephanie Kirkpatrick. Jump to 2024 and you'll find Bartleby's Crispy and Spicy Seitan in the frozen section of independent and local grocery stores across the United States! We are headquartered out of Spring Kitchen in Springdale, Arkansas.

Empowering people to do good, one meal at a time.

  • YOU

    Your tastebuds and tummy rejoice. Our food is crave-able, high in protein, rich in amino acids & vitamins, and free of 7 major allergens.

  • THE ANIMALS

    Our food is completely free of animal products. No living creatures were harmed, or will ever be harmed, in the making of our items. We are a cruelty free company.

  • THE PLANET

    The environmental impact of seitan is significantly lower than the environmental impact of animal agriculture. Doing better for the planet has never tasted so good.
