A. Glass has a reputation for being environmentally friendly, but actually, it has a carbon footprint five times higher than plastic. Glass requires more resources for initial production, is much heavier to ship, requires much more protective packaging and handling measures, and is a breakage hazard from time of production to consumption.
A. High Pressure Processing is a cold pasteurization technique by which products, already sealed in their final package, are introduced into a vessel and subjected to a high level of isostatic pressure (300–600MPa/43,500-87,000psi) transmitted by water. HPP respects the sensorial and nutritional properties of food, because of the absence of heat treatment, and maintains its original freshness throughout the shelf-life.
In order to offer our juice through retail partners, we must pasteurize them per FDA requirements.
A. Due to the seasonality of our local produce, the flavor profile of some juices will change slightly. At certain times of the year, they may seem sweeter than others. The type of apple being used will certainly have an impact on this. We keep our recipes as consistent as possible and only make minor adjustments to accommodate these variations.
A. Generally speaking, a smoothie includes fiber from all items of produce. It is simply a blended mix of all fruits and vegetables. Juice is the result of fruits and vegetables that are separated from their solid material (fiber), hence why it appears more like a liquid.
A. One should always lead a healthy diet consuming a majority of fruits and vegetables. However, consuming juice is an excellent way of doing so. Juice captures nutrients from a large quantity of produce and packages it in a way that is easy and enjoyable for the human body to consume.
A. Most traditional multivitamins come in pill form, which is more difficult for the human body to digest and process. Although relatively healthy to do in practice, the body falls woefully short in absorbing vitamins and nutrients from supplements in comparison to absorbing vitamins and nutrients from natural food sources, such as juice.

A. How much juice you drink and when you decide to drink it is entirely up to you. What is nice about juice is how quickly your body is able to digest it. This makes the juice a perfect snack or meal replacement at any hour of the day.
In terms of how much juice you should be drinking, we recommend starting slowly if you have never tried juice before. Try one or two per day with or between meals. Once you become a more practiced and adventurous juicer, you can work it into your diet in more creative ways.
A. If you supplement your juice with a diet containing low or no processed foods, you should expect massive improvements in both your physical and psychological health and well-being.
