Mylk Labs
Mylk Labs founder Grace Cheng gets pretty excited about oatmeal. In fact, she has been eating it every morning for over a decade. This long-lasting love affair with the simplest and most wholesome of grains inspired her to create Mylk Labs, self-funding the company with no prior connections to or knowledge of the food and beverage industry. They make wholesome, convenient food using only real ingredients and natural processes to bring out the flavor and textures of their products. Mylk sells their oatmeal to the Bon Appétit team at The Huntington Library, Art Museum, and Botanical Gardens.
