PACRIDGE Celebrates Earth Month with Plant-Based Milk and Ingredients That are Better for the Environment
The farming food company uses energy-efficient Sonic Milling™ technology to make food and beverage products with zero waste
BENTONVILLE, Ark.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Just in time for Earth Month in April, newly expanded regenerative farming food company Pacific Ridge (PACRIDGE) is showcasing a new way to process plant-based products. The demand for plant-based milk and ingredients shows no signs of slowing down, yet not all methods for producing plant-based food products are sustainable. That’s why PACRIDGE has made a commitment to using state-of-the-art technology known as Sonic Milling™. The energy-efficient technology processes regenerative oats with zero waste, leaving the smallest environmental footprint.
“Sonic Milling™ technology creates products that are not just sustainable, but also healthier and more nutrient-dense. The plant-based beverages and ingredients are delicious, highly digestible and protein-rich,” said Ken Grenier, Chief Executive Officer of PACRIDGE.
Sonic Milling™ technology offers a more sustainable future for processing plant-based foods & food ingredients. By harnessing the power of water and energy, Sonic Milling™ creates shockwaves of sonic energy that break apart whole grains, nuts, or seeds while retaining the best flavor qualities and nutrient values.
“Our goal is to supply healthier plant-based food products and sustainable ingredients,” said Grenier. “Driven by consumer demand, Sonic Milling™ is piloting the technology with oat milk and oat creamers. The technology expands beyond beverage to many categories. Our clean ingredients are ideal for bakeries, pharmaceuticals, pet foods and much more.”
PACRIDGE, with manufacturing headquarters based in Saskatoon, Canada, expanded its corporate operations to the U.S. in March with new headquarters in Northwest Arkansas. The company brings a deeply foundational vision of soil-to-shelf regenerative farming by empowering farmers, retailers and consumers with transparency and technology.
With the initial oat milk product launch, it’s the company’s first step on a journey to saving energy and placing the cleanest labels on the shelf. They are continuously innovating and bringing new products and flavors to retailer shelves.
