A vegan milk factory in Devon is about to increase its production, which will allow it to deliver milk to homes across the country.

ReRooted Organic in Totnes has producing vegan milk for the past two years. However, there are plans for a massive expansion after developing a partnership with Riverford founder Guy Singh-Watson.

ReRooted say their vegan milks were as a result of frustration at not being able to find a plant milk that was zero waste and good quality.

Thus business owners Richard Eckersley and Dan Dawson began delivering almond and coconut milks in their electric van to Totnes and a small part of the surrounding area.

The business really took off when Riverford founder Guy Singh-Watson knocked on Richard's shop door to propose a plant milk partnership.

Our idea came from frustration really. Our zero customers were asking us for milk - we contacted load of producers to try and find one not using Tetra Pak but we couldn't find any. Richard Eckersley, Business owner

At the moment, a team of four run the show, with this expected to increase when the Riverford expansion begins.

Although their products will make their way across the UK with the expansion, each bottle will still be sent back to the Totnes base to be cleaned and reused again.

In truth at first we were a bit gung-ho. We've worked really hard with our milks to match the flavour profile of cow’s milk. Dan Dawson, Business Owner

The pair plan to extend their offering into oat milk, hemp, hazelnut and chocolate hazelnut.
