Episode Synopsis

#70 Raglan Food cofounder Latesha Randall is changing the world with coconut yogurt
Can you save the world with coconut yogurt? Founders of Raglan Food Co Tesh and Seb are giving it a solid go.
When her partner Seb decided it was time to go dairy-free due to allergies, Tesh started experimenting in her kitchen with making vegan coconut yoghurt. 
Suffice to say, things took off from there. Word of mouth spread quickly and demand grew. First, they partnered with a local community kitchen but then built their own factory, determined to keep jobs in their small town despite challenges of scale.
Already purpose-driven, going through the rigorous B Corp certification process opened Tesh's eyes to new impact areas across Raglan Food Co's operations. On recertification, their score increased from 96 to 111.
And now, after four years of groundwork, Raglan Food Co is launching in New York where they see demand for tastier dairy-free options. Registering in the US as a B Corp too, they hope to spread their ethos globally while growing jobs in Raglan through this major milestone.
Tesh talks...

How reading Patagonia founder Yvon Chouinard's book ⁠Let My People Go Surfing: The Education of a Reluctant Businessman⁠ inspired her to go B Corp.
How Raglan Food Co runs diverse programs like its community fund, beach clean-ups and youth opportunities.
Why being a B Corp is so important to them.

Check it out! Loads of (dairy-free) food for thought.
