Traditional milk delivery services that involve a milkman and glass bottles may have gone by the wayside, but Nectar & Green is reviving the concept for a new consumer segment. Nectar & Green specializes in the creation of small-batch organic freshly pressed almond milk and delivers its dairy-free beverages to local subscribers. Founder Laurel McConville says that "We’re like the milkman—the reinvented milkman."
As well as having appeal to those who follow plant-based diets, this service will be popular among health-conscious consumers who want to avoid buying beverages that are heavily processed and filled with animal by-products and preservatives. Nectar & Green's almond milk beverages are made with just two ingredients—almonds and purified water.
Along with dairy-free milkman services like this one, other facets of the meat and dairy industry are being transformed with a plant-based twist, such as with vegan and vegetarian butcher shops.
