MOMA was started back in 2006 by founder Tom in a railway arch in South East London.  Ever since, we’ve been obsessed with oats and the incredible versatility of this humble grain, dedicating ourselves to bringing delicious and nutritious premium porridge oats and oat drinks to the masses. Today, you can find MOMA oat products in your favourite supermarkets and health food shops as well as lots of lovely cafes and independent shops nationwide.

Whether we’re developing new products or discovering oaty flavour combinations, we’re happiest when we’re finding ways to elevate oats.

We wouldn’t be anything without our dedicated team and fans, which is why they always come first.

We’re committed to sourcing the best of British ingredients whenever possible, so that the quality is high but the food miles are low.
