“I feel this deep responsibility as someone who is feeding people to be feeding them real food and be really transparent about what we’re feeding them. … we want to prove that you don’t have to compromise your products, you don’t have to compromise the health of your consumers to be a successful business.” — Brooke Harris, Founder of Goodmylk Co.

In this episode Brooke and I chat about:

• The health and wellness journey (and struggles) that led Brooke to launching Goodmylk Co.
• Growing up on a dairy farm in New York
• The importance of creating a product with pure, organic and real food ingredient and being completely transparent about the ingredients being used.
• The difference between raw and pasteurized almonds (and what pasteurized means)
• The confusion around food labels and the lack of transparency in the food industry.
• The controversy around the sustainability of almond milk and why she believes hemp milk will be the future of nut milks
• Her entrepreneurial challenges and her “one” true talent in life.
• Sustainable packaging and so much more!

This was such a wonderful conversation. Happy listening!
