Brand
PKN
Austin, TX
PKN is a natural products brand from Austin, TX with 6 products on Beacon Discovery, mostly shelf stable plant based milk and creams & creamers. 4 are Certified Gluten-Free and 4 Certified Non-GMO, and its range is distributed by KeHE.
PKN Founder, Laura Shenkar, was working in Central Texas to preserve freshwater ecosystems and observed the economic struggles of pecan farmers. Pecan halves fetch a premium price, but farmers were seldom able to monetize leftover pecan pieces. With the launch of PKN non-dairy milks and creamers, we have created a new revenue stream for pecan farmers and created opportunity to support their transition to sustainable farming operations. Alt-milk and traditional dairy consumers can now enjoy rich, delicious, real pecan milk products without adding to the environmental impact of other milks.
