Fresh Milk Workshop

What Fresh Milk Workshop does

Fresh Milk Workshop (鮮乳坊) is a Taiwan-based, private dairy product company founded in 2014 by a bovine veterinarian — a positioning it markets as Taiwan's only such brand. It sells premium single-source traceable fresh milk and adjacent dairy products through two channels: a direct-to-consumer e-commerce site (bettermilk.com.tw) offering both one-time purchase and a weekly subscription (週週配), and physical retail partnerships spanning supermarkets and convenience stores across Taiwan. The company sources from five named partner farms (豐樂, 嘉明, 幸運兒, 許慶良, 桂芳) under a fair-trade pricing model that emphasizes animal welfare, veterinary oversight, and reinvestment into farm infrastructure.

Its core technology stack is a single-source traceability system backed by cloud-based farm data management (real-time monitoring of feeding, hygiene, raw milk safety, and quality) combined with a proprietary Flavor Rose Diagram (玫瑰圖) tasting methodology developed with specialty coffee experts, which defines 12 flavor attributes unique to each partner farm's milk. The product portfolio spans Manor Fresh Milk, A2β-casein fresh milk, yogurt, yogurt drinks, milk buns, egg pudding, UHT sterilized milk, and a nutritionally fortified '乳研所 營養牛乳' sub-brand, all unified under veterinary oversight and fair-trade sourcing.

Revenue mechanics rest on subscription and one-time DTC e-commerce sales, plus physical retail distribution in Taiwan. The target customer is health-conscious individual consumers and families prioritizing food safety, traceability, animal welfare, and premium flavor; pricing is not publicly disclosed. The company employs 11-50 people, is headquartered in Taipei, and celebrated its 11th anniversary in 2024-2025 alongside IP collaborations and a charitable donation matching program, indicating continued operations and active consumer-brand marketing.
