About us

Call us a better dairy company

We are on a mission to make dairy products that people love, with less use of land and water, lower carbon emissions, and priced fairly.

We are a team of dairy lovers who are not bound by tradition. We are here to challenge outdated ways of thinking  with modern science, to create a better future for us, for the planet and for those who come after us.

We were founded in 2022 by three ex-senior dairy executives who were convinced that there is a better way to give people all the benefits of the full dairy experience without the damage to our environment.
