Top favourite Raglan Coconut Yoghurt has made its way across the ditch and landed in Australia.
Competition is a little tougher in Australia with some established brands already in the market. Raglan Coconut Yoghurt co-founder, Latesha Randall (AKA Mrs Coconut), is confident the products will outperform any of the brands on the market in Austrlia. “Everyone we speak to and taste test with knows the difference in our yoghurt. It has that true yoghurt-like texture that many coconut yoghurts are missing,” she said.
The coconuts are sourced from Sumatra, Indonesia where they’re grown organically, with no fertilisers, sprays or pesticides used, and sourced from local growers all around the area. With Raglan Coconut Yoghurt’s current annual production, they’re supporting 8,000 coconut trees; which capture over 2,500 tonnes of CO2 every year. The business supports the local community in many ways, and they’ve recently become Raglan’s first certified Living Wage employer.
The co-founders are passionate about helping not only their community but also the world with various projects. They have sponsored 14 bee-hives for families, planted over 2,000 trees along polluted streams, raised funds for the homeless in a CEO sleep out and have a goal to pick up 1 million pieces of rubbish off New Zealand & Australia’s beaches.
