🥛 We LOVE oat milk, it's versatile, sustainable, and frankly delicious.
But did you know that store bought oat milk is mostly water? Well... 90% water to be precise.
It seemed absolutely crazy to us that all this water (which ain't light btw 🏋️♀️) was being transported all around the world when we are lucky enough to have abundant clean water sources at home! 🚿
💭 There had to be a better way...
We got tired of throwing away endless milk cartons. Almost 120 per year to be precise.
Who likes off milk? Because that's what you are getting if you don't drink it fast enough.
Shifting all that heavy oat milk (90% water) from factory to home creates needless CO₂.
If oat milk is 90% water, then why not add the water at home instead? 🏠 It would reduce packaging, cut food waste, and lower the carbon footprint. Oh wait, those are the things that made us go "arghh!". What a coincidence...
So we decided to concentrate on the... well... concentrate! 😂 We tightened our aprons and got to work developing a delicious, healthy and sustainable oat milk powder. Months went by, seasons changed, you get the message... But eventually we got there and Overherd was born in January 2023.
🌍 We are a small planet-loving team, lucky enough to be based in the surrounding countryside of North Yorkshire & our oat milk powder is lovingly made in Yorkshire too.
We want to make milk greener (not literally), from production to supply chain. Our mission is to rid the world of milk cartons. Learn more here.
We like keeping things simple & aren't fans of ingredient lists which could be mistaken for an A-Z Latin dictionary.
We want to shake up the status quo, and make other brands re-evaluate product lifecycles. Powdered oat milk is just one example.
We have the MOST AMAZING customers and we are so grateful for all the support! 💖
Thanks to each and every one of your orders we've already saved 100,000 cartons from waste and we're just getting started!
If you've got anything to say, we'd love to hear from you. Drop us a line, or chuck us a DM on Instagram if that's your style.
