Elmhurst® is the fastest growing plant-based beverage company, crafting simple, nutritious and delicious plant-based dairy alternatives.

All varieties are created through a unique HydroRelease™ method, using water to harness the nutritional content of raw grains, nuts, or seeds. The result - naturally creamy products with up to five times more nuts compared to leading brands, without the use of added gums, oils or emulsifiers.

Elmhurst’s Milked line, Barista Editions, Creamers, and Ready-To-Drink options begin with whole raw ingredients, never pre-processed industrial pastes or flours.  All products are Non-GMO, Gluten Free, Vegan, Dairy & Lactose Free, and OU Kosher.

Elmhurst’s unique process and aseptic packaging also allows for safe consumption over a longer shelf life, with no need to refrigerate prior to opening. And because sustainability is the only way forward the package is fully recyclable.

Our History

Elmhurst was founded in 2017, but the company's roots date back to 1925. Originally Elmhurst Dairy in Queens, the multi-generational dairy was the largest in New York State for nearly a century.

After a meeting with plant nutrition pioneer Dr. Cheryl Mitchell, Henry made a progressive pivot - closing the family dairy to focus on clean label plant-based alternatives with more nutrition as Elmhurst 1925.

“After 92 years in business, it was time to embrace a new model and look towards to the future. My father was ahead of his time and I want to continue that legacy -- to lead the plant-based revolution, and create clean label products that are just as delicious and nutritionally robust as dairy milk” - Henry Schwartz
