“We currently have Oatly as our non-dairy flavor, but it’s not from anything on our farm; we just buy that base,” Hill said. “The initial thought was, ‘How can I make a milk base with something that is plant-based from here?’” Hill went through various versions of non-dairy options, such as using oats or nuts, but with limited crop space and the desire to make an allergen-free option, these weren’t ideal.
