History
Turtle Mountain was created in 1987 by current President/CEO Mark Brawerman. In 1990, Turtle Mountain introduced Living Lightly pints, a line of soy-based, rice syrup and fruit-sweetened frozen dessert products. In 1998, Turtle Mountain introduced Organic Soy Delicious, a line of soy-based frozen dessert quarts. This brand was later renamed to So Delicious Dairy Free. Turtle Mountain followed that up in 2001 with the introduction of Purely Decadent, a premium line of frozen desserts sold in pints.
Turtle Mountain’s company name was inspired by a place in Nicaragua that borders the ocean, where sea turtles lay their eggs. Natives to the area refer to the place as Turtle Mountain. As part of its company mission, Turtle Mountain donates a portion of its profits to the Sea Turtle Restoration Project, an organization that seeks to protect endangered sea turtle populations around the world.
