eggmeets…
Karen Robinson, founder of Three Robins, a new oat milk brand based in Edinburgh.
Tell us a bit about the business?
Three Robins is the first plant milk brand in the UK specifically designed for busy oat milk loving families like ours. Rich in calcium and with no added sugars, we fortify our oat drink with the good stuff everyone needs for healthy bodies and active minds.
Why oat milk?
When one of my three boys became lactose intolerant, we started drinking oat milk but struggled to find a brand that fitted our family’s needs. There was a gap in the market for something with great flavour and nutrition. I was determined to develop a product that would taste as good in cereal as it did in coffee, and to create a brand that offered a good mix of flavour and formats to help families switch to dairy alternatives. And so, Three Robins was born. Our last name is Robinson, and the name ‘Three Robins’ represents our three little boys.
How long did it take to turn the concept into reality?
It has been a long process and much harder than I imagined but fortunately I like a challenge! I made the decision to start the business just as Covid-19 hit at the beginning of 2020 – not great timing. I bought a nut milk machine and made oat milk in my kitchen, putting it in
glass bottles and giving it out to friends to try. However, I quickly realised that while making my own oat milk was fun, it wasn’t a scalable business model. In early 2021, I began working with food scientists to develop a recipe that could be produced at scale and also started the process of finding a manufacturer who would be able to process and pack the product for me. I’ve been really fortunate to work with LUX, an amazing Edinburgh-based food and drink agency, since the beginning and they’ve provided lots of industry insight along the way. Finally, after a successful pitch to a big manufacturer of plant milks in the UK, we got on the production line in April 2022 allowing us to launch to market in May.
What do you think of other milk alternatives?
I’ve tried ALL the milk alternatives and appreciate that there is a certain degree of preference when it comes to choosing a plant milk but, oat milk is so versatile and offers other advantages that it wins every time for me. Oat has nutrition and is one of the most sustainable options, with a lower water, carbon and land usage footprint than many other varieties such as soy or almond milk.
Is it hard running your own business and being a mum of three?
Yes! But without my three boys there would be no Three Robins - they are the inspiration behind it. It can be hard finding time to make the most of all the business opportunities, and I often feel I’m being pulled in different directions but, that said, I feel very grateful to have successfully started a business. I’ve found a new career which I love and I’m able to do it alongside family life.
The most rewarding part of having your own business?
Happy customers! There’s nothing better than seeing people enjoy a product you dreamt up and then turned into something tangible on a shop shelf.
Where can we find Three Robins?
Fox & Co on William Street and a growing number of cafes in Edinburgh including Bross Bagels. You can also buy our milk by the carton in Gull’s Grocery, Delicatessen 181, Loch Leven’s Larder, Blacketyside Farm and Balgove Larder. Alternatively, head over to our website where we offer UK-wide home delivery of our cases of 6x1L cartons. The best things in life are… always worth fighting for.
