Although cow’s milk is meant for the growth and nourishment of newborn calves, it is widely consumed by humans due to high levels of essential nutrients, vitamins and minerals. The production of cow’s milk has an extensive history that dates back to over 12,000 years ago. Before the 20th century, dairy farming used to be a manual and labor-intensive process where small-scale, family-owned operations were the norm, and the industry's growth was largely constrained by these traditional methods.

However, over the centuries, technological advancements and changing consumer demands have driven the evolution and industrialization of the dairy industry. While this widespread industrialization has significantly increased the output of dairy products, it has also raised concerns about environmental impact and animal welfare.

One of the biggest problems associated with this mass industrialization is water usage: a single glass of cow's milk requires a whopping 64 gallons of water to produce. From the water required to hydrate the cows to the vast amounts needed for growing their feed and processing milk, the environmental toll is undeniable.

Where the Happy Cows Graze

You might ask: Is the solution just as simple as getting rid of cows? Nope.

Cows are actually great in a regenerative farming ecosystem because they play an important role in maintaining and restoring soil health. When they graze, they end up trampling biomass into thatch, an organic layer of decomposed matter that helps to cover and protect the soil.

So how can we have milk that is as tasty and nourishing as cow's milk, and contributes to a regenerative farming ecosystem that keeps the cows and the planet happy? Luckily for you, we have a solution.
