Our Founder - Meet Megan Wallace

As an on-again, off-again vegetarian, I've always opted for dairy-free substitutes, but have never enjoyed the taste, consistency or ingredients used in store-bought nut milks. I fell in love with the taste and health benefits of homemade Nut Mylk and began experimenting with different ingredients, flavours, nuts and superfoods.

From there, our Mylks involved from home kitchen creations, to farmers markets, local grocery stores and now onto new formats with longer shelf-lives as well as the addition of coffee creamers.

Our brand has now evolved from a small artisanal operation to a larger scale Nut Mylk company servicing retailers all over BC now at a lower, more affordable price point as well as a larger volume sizes. 

We've maintained the same passion and integrity for quality ingredients that support our customers health and well-being with incredible tasting Mylks that are in a league of their own when compared to conventional nut milk brands. We hope you love them as much as we do!
