Company description

NotMilkNYC is a small woman-owned business in NYC, making organic, fresh, plant-based milks right here in our LIC kitchen. Our milks are made fresh daily from natural, minimally-processed ingredients: nuts, seeds and grains. 

 

As a zero-food-waste business, we also sell flours, butters, and spreads made from upcycled nuts! We source all ingredients as locally as possible and are proud to offer 100% New York State grown and produced Oat Milk and Pumpkin Seed Milk.

 

NotMilk is also a model zero-waste producer: from reusable delivery bags, glass bottles, and upcycled almond meal, we are committed to minimizing our environmental impact.
