The UK’s leading producer of 100% pure, gluten-free oats, Glebe Farm Foods, has today announced a strategic partnership with Scottish oat drink brand Three Robins to bring its nutritious, family friendly oat drink range to the market at scale.
Under the agreement, Glebe Farm Foods’ state-of-the-art facilities will produce Three Robins’ three flagship oat milk drinks – Choccoriffic Oat Mylk, Barista Oat Mylk and Barista Pro Oat Mylk. By bringing the family-friendly milk alternatives into the fold, Glebe Farm will broaden its existing portfolio, helping retailers and foodservice operators cater to an even wider audience.
Each drink is made with Scottish Oats and is 100% gluten-free, dairy-free, fortified with vitamins, and free from added sugars, providing a healthier and delicious alternative to traditional dairy that children and adults alike can enjoy.
Scaling up Three Robins’ product range is a timely and strategic response to the growing demand for non-dairy milk alternatives, especially for families navigating dietary restrictions. Between 1% – 10% of adults and children in the UK have a food hypersensitivity[1], yet the market lacks sufficient, safe, and reliable options. This is primarily due to challenges in manufacturing processes.
Glebe Farm Foods was selected as Three Robins’ manufacturing partner due to its long-standing experience in oat-based food and drink and stringent allergen-free manufacturing process. With a fully controlled gluten free supply chain from farming and milling to final distribution, Glebe Farm ensures that quality and allergen safety are maintained at every step. For instance, each batch of oats is rigorously tested using the highly sensitive R5 ELISA test to ensure gluten levels stay below 5ppm – a threshold significantly below the industry standard of 20ppm.
By upholding these superior standards, Glebe Farm Foods delivers peace of mind to brands like Three Robins, retailers and operators looking to cater to the free from community and most importantly, to consumers navigating a food hypersensitivity.
Philip Rayner, founder and managing director, Glebe Farm Foods, comments: “We are delighted to partner with Three Robins to produce their range and meet the increasing demand for family friendly oat milk products. We share the same values around quality, transparency and allergen safety and we’re proud to support their mission as they continue to grow their brand.”
Karen Robinson PHD, founder, Three Robins, comments: “Working with Glebe Farm will be a real game changer for us. Their expertise in oat milk production and dedicated allergen-free manufacturing facilities make them the perfect partner to safely produce our oat drink range. Our goal is to make nutritious, yet delicious oat milk drinks more accessible for busy families and this partnership brings us one step closer.”
