Health issues often are the impetus for founders to look for healthy, nutritious new foods, and that is certainly the backdrop for Amy Colville's story. Going through a very stressful time, Amy started uncovering new knowledge and kept track of how certain foods were making her feel. Then she had her "aha" moment when her plant-based milk snapped her into shape almost instantly. She started producing commercially after an R&D period and in 2017 she was rolling. Her manufacturing and warehouse operations are in Portland, Oregon. And her branding was easy. She wanted an alternative spelling of "milk" and "mylk" worked. And when she put the "A" in front, it spelled her name AND stood for "alternative milk" as well. Must have been predestined.
