Clean-Label Plant-Based Milk Maker Three Trees Scooped Up by Next in Natural

Californian startup Three Trees, known for its clean-label plant-based milks, has been acquired by Brooklyn-based business development and brand platform Next in Natural. The acquisition marks Next in Natural's first venture into the plant-based dairy industry, expanding Three Trees' non-dairy portfolio to more stores across the US. The deal will also involve collaborations with other brands under Next in Natural, such as Chameleon Cold Brew, to offer morning coffee options paired with plant-based milk.

Founded by Jenny Eu in 2012, Three Trees prides itself on producing premium additive-free milk alternatives with short ingredient lists. The company's range includes unique options like pistachio and black sesame milk, and its products have been praised for their clean-label formulations. With consumers increasingly seeking clean-label foods, the acquisition by Next in Natural aims to cater to this demand and further enhance the availability of plant-based milk options in the market.
