Rijuice rolls out new line of beverages with an unexpected ingredient: hemp.
Cullen Farrell gently tips the edge of a plastic container filled with a dark brown liquid hemp extract into a glass of water. It instantly dissolves and becomes as transparent as the water in the glass. Farrell, co-founder, and co-owner of Rijuice, the Lancaster-based cold-pressed juice company, is demonstrating the key component of a new line of hemp-infused beverages called Hemp Infusions.
Lancaster County has many farmers trying the crop.
The chance to grow industrial hemp is getting a lot of attention here, with Lancaster claiming far more permits than any other Pennsylvania county. This is the first year since 1937 that the crop can be legally grown commercially in Pennsylvania, and the state Department of Agriculture reported issuing 323 permits covering 812 farms statewide. Of those, Lancaster got 55 permits covering 180 farms.
From the ground up.

Lancaster’s ríjuice reaches three-year anniversary.
RIJUICE is celebrating its third year in a business that aims to educate and inspire people to get healthy in a natural way.

We talked to rijuice’s Cullen Farrell about the origins of the company, the rijuice process, and local collaborations.
Cold-pressed juice born of Lancaster County produce, desire to share healthy lifestyle.
In a freezing-cold industrial kitchen space on a recent morning, several men wearing coats and ski hats under their white coats and masks, are turning large trays of fruits and vegetables — carrots, apples, lemons, kale, celery — into bottles of green, yellow and orange juice.
Cold-pressed juice company grows in Lancaster County.
Infatuated with the food culture in his native Lancaster County, Cullen Farrell felt more could be done to pay homage to the vegetable side of the county's agriculture, instead of the usual focus on food from cows, pigs, and other livestock.
When and how did rijuice start?
Rijuice was started in 2013 when Cullen decided to leave his desk job as a trader for a startup bullion company that was based in Chicago. Coincidentally, the company moved its operations back to Lancaster his hometown. Upon return, Cullen became increasingly disinterested in the office culture, sitting at a desk for upwards of 8–14 hours, trading what was supposed to be the end all be all of commodities.
Life in a bottle.
Co-founders of ríjuice in Lancaster, PA, Farrell and Ober are enjoying success with a product they developed with a healthy mix of a dream and passion in the basement of a local bar three years ago. The first juice was a blend of apple, lemon, and ginger, which is still popular today as Sunshine Daydream.
