Description
Lifestock is a female-founded and -owned company dedicated to expanding and developing sustainable foods. CEO and Founder Laura Shenkar works closely with local pecan growers to chart a new future for this sustainably sourced nut; because pecan trees live for decades, their growers are motivated to conserve water. Lifestock expands market opportunities for farmers who could previously only fetch premium prices for half-shell pecans. This, in turn, supports sustainable farming. THIS PKN is the inaugural product for Lifestock. THIS PKN redefines clean-label alternative milk. Made exclusively with Texas-grown pecans and no added sugar, THIS PKN offers a rich, buttery taste reminiscent of nostalgic flavors like pecan pie and pralines. Each 80-calorie serving contains Omega-3s, antioxidants, calcium, zinc; plus vitamin A, B, and E. THIS PKN is a perfect pairing for coffee or espresso, upgrading plain cereal, or turning your morning oats into a decadent treat. This category disruptor is offered in Original and 100-calorie Chocolate flavors. While alternative milks are always a more sustainable choice than traditional dairy milk, not all nut milks are created equal. We chose to make pecan milk because pecans are the only commercial tree nut indigenous to the US, says Shenkar. As native plants, pecans are not dependent on water imported from dwindling remote sources. They can survive droughts and floods, serving as anchors for the wildlife and plants that define the Texas landscape. With roots in the Lone Star State, Lifestock is working to establish a Texas business built on local ingredient sourcing, manufacturing, and distribution. At the same time, Lifestock will work with pecan farmers to further develop water-conservation strategies that ensure decades of sustainable production.
