My Story & Our Sustainable Impact

🌸 Our Story & Sustainable Impact

Meet Jess – Founder of The Milk Pantry

Hi, I’m Jessica Beveridge, the creator of The Milk Pantry.

When I first became a mum in 2007, I quickly discovered that breastfeeding wasn’t always as simple as I thought it would be. I experienced mastitis, low milk supply, sleepless nights, and all the emotions that come with being a new mum. Like so many others, I worried constantly: Am I doing enough for my baby?

My preference has always been to look for natural solutions before turning to medication. That’s how I first discovered lactation cookies. While they worked, I wasn’t impressed by the taste—and I knew I could do better.

So, I started experimenting in my own kitchen, creating snacks that weren’t just effective but also genuinely delicious. Friends and fellow mums soon began asking me to make some for them. That’s when I realised I wasn’t alone—so many mums needed support, encouragement, and a little boost during their breastfeeding journey.

And just like that, The Milk Pantry was born.

🍪 Nourishing Mums, Naturally

With three children of my own and years of firsthand experience with breastfeeding challenges, I understand how little time mums have to care for themselves. That’s why I set out to create products that are:

  • Nourishing and supportive for milk supply

  • Made with fresh, high-quality ingredients (certified organic wherever possible)

  • Free from unnecessary sugars, preservatives, and additives

At The Milk Pantry, our mission is simple: to help mums feel nourished, supported, and confident—without compromise.

🌍 Our Sustainable Impact

Sustainability isn’t just a value—it’s at the heart of everything we do.

We’ve been proudly recognised not once, but twice, by the Sunshine Coast Business Awards:

  • 🏆 2017 Winner – Sustainability

  • 🏆 2018 Winner – Health & Wellness

These awards continue to inspire us to lead with purpose—creating a healthier future for mums, bubs, and the planet.

Here’s how we make an impact:

  • Charity Support – We donate $1 from every order to a charity of your choice, supporting fellow mums through their own journeys.

  • Eco Packaging – Your order arrives in biodegradable satchels or boxes—because saying no to unnecessary plastics today means saying yes to a brighter tomorrow.

  • Breastfeeding Advocacy – By supporting breastfeeding, we help:

    • Improve children’s health and immunity

    • Strengthen the bond between mother and child

    • Reduce packaging waste and environmental impact

    • Lower the risk of postnatal depression

    • Ease pressure on our healthcare system

It’s a win for mothers, babies, communities, and the planet.

💜 More Than Just Cookies

Today, what began as a simple solution in my kitchen has grown into a brand that supports mums across Australia. But The Milk Pantry is about more than cookies and shakes—it’s about community.

It’s about reminding mums they’re not alone.
It’s about making motherhood just a little easier, one bite (or sip!) at a time.
And it’s about creating positive change—for families and for the world.

Together, we can make a difference: nourishing mothers, supporting babies, and protecting the planet—one mum and one choice at a time. 💚

💌 A Note From Me

From one mum to another—thank you for letting me be part of your journey.

With love,
Jessica Beveridge
