As part of Climate Solutions Week here at Montana Public Radio, Justin speaks with Devin Morales, founder of Cool Earth Creamery, a plant-based creamery committed to sustainability and local agriculture. Devin established Cool Earth in 2019 after a 25-year career in natural resources and engineering.
In this conversation, Devin talks about how responding to various disasters led to the understanding that climate change impacts are everywhere. Devin’s journey to Cool Earth was propelled by climate anxiety, and once on that path, Devin became frustrated with the dairy-free productions on the market. To Devin, it seemed despite the fact that a growing number of people were consuming dairy-free products, the product itself still wasn’t up to par.
Devin explains Cool Earth’s price-point and how it trends higher due to the company’s dedication to environmentally-friendly packing and using local products, like potatoes, in its dairy-free milk and gelato.
