About the juice Program

Every other week deliveries of cold pressed, raw, and unpasteurized juice to pickup locations throughout the Mad River Valley in Vermont and the Adirondacks in New York.

Why Cold Pressed?

When juice is cold pressed it retains more vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and enzymes than other juicing methods. The juice is never exposed to heat, and a hydraulic press extracts the juice. This prevents excess oxygen from being introduced, which decreases the rate at which the nutrients are lost through oxidation.

Raw, unpasteurized, cold pressed juice has an incredibly short shelf life, 72 hours from pressing. Freezing the juice is the only way to extend the shelf life without pasteurization. It is also the best way to preserve the enzyme activity and nutrient levels present. Frozen juice will keep for at least 6 months before it starts to see enzyme and nutrient degradation.

It is simple and easy for you. Just pull a bottle out of the freezer and stick it in your fridge the night before you want to drink it. Cold pressed juice just there for when you want it, doesn’t get much better than that!

Why Subscription based?

It is important to take daily action to support our health. I started this program because I love fresh pressed juice and strongly believe in its health benefits, but I found myself not doing it because of how much work it is. Buying all the produce (it takes a lot), pulling out the machine, cleaning the produce, juicing, then cleaning up the machine and then putting it all away. It makes much more sense for me to make it in big batches and distribute to those who want in. It also requires a commitment. At the beginning of the month or the season you commit by signing up, paying for, and selecting the juice you want to receive. Then you are not left with the decision in the grocery store between ice cream or juice, because we all know what most of us would choose! Your pre-orders allow me to source my produce accordingly and juice to order, so you can get what you want.

Local and Organic

Juicing concentrates nutrients. It takes about a pound of produce to make 8 ounces of juice. When was the last time you sat down and ate a pound of raw vegetables? Juice gets a lot of nutrients into you in small quantities. Healthy soil contains more nutrients than unhealthy soil, and foods grown in healthy soil contain more nutrients than those grown in depleted soil. This is why we prioritize local produce, there is a lot more attention to soil health than in large scale industrial agriculture. Local food is the best food! It is always the first priority when it comes to sourcing produce for our juice. We can’t get everything year round but we do source it when it’s available. Plus we love our farm partners and think it’s really important to support the local food economy.

We use organic produce whenever possible. This minimizes pesticide residues and maximizes the health promoting quality of our juice.

Local + Organic is Gold!
