Our Story
Let Food be thy medicine. -Hippocrates
In early 2013 we found out that a family member had stage four Esophageal Cancer. During investigation of alternative treatments it became apparent that nutrition could potentially offer the most potent healing medicine. Research revealed that juicing as a method of providing specific micronutrients, which would support the body with the challenge of living with cancer. We also studied in depth different cancer diets such as the Budwig Diet and the specific benefits of different fruits, vegetables, nuts and seaweed. We were also inspired by The Food Matters and Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead as well as the treatments used at The Gerson Institution. We were inspired to follow what we knew to be true about health and wellness and this is how our ‘Dad’s Juice’ was created.
We saw improvement in his overall well being- this was reason enough to make us passionate believers in juicing. This research made our family take a second look at what we were consuming. Individually, every member of our family has found different benefits from juicing daily.
Juicing is not a temporary weight loss fad; it’s a life style change. It’s the choice you make daily about what to put in your body and truly realize that ‘you are what you eat’. Our society needs to change the way we look at food. So many of us are lacking nutrition; we consume a lot of food but are malnourished. Many have developed food allergies and mood disorders.
We believe that eating a variety of vegetables, fruit, nuts and seaweed provide the right nutrients, which helps the body to obtain homeostasis.
As a family we decided to share our knowledge of juicing. We want to provide others with the specific nutrients they require and improve quality of life. We want to educate and affect others in a positive way. Welcome to The Juicery Co!

Our Values
Quality
We’re committed to using only the highest quality natural and organic ingredients to formulate our products. Our produce is delivered multiple times throughout the week to ensure that our juice is always fresh and full of live nutrients. Our cold-pressed juicing process allows each juice to maintain its maximum nutrient and vitamin retention, and allows you to get a concentrated amount of live enzymes that would otherwise be difficult to achieve just by eating raw fruits and vegetables alone. We truly believe in creating happiness through health.
Social Responsibility
We feel a strong responsibility to protect our environment and are dedicated to making choices that reduce our carbon footprint. We’re constantly looking for new ways to make our operations greener and engage our business with the surrounding community. From our Energy Star appliances and lighting—to our recyclable and reusable glass bottles—to our zero waste policy where we either compost or donate all of our food scraps, juice pulp, and almond meal—we care about you and the planet we all share.
Convenience
We know life can get busy and understand the difficulty of proper nourishment in today’s stressful and hectic world. That’s why we believe that everyone should have the resources available to them should they choose to make more positive choices, and we want to help. We believe all you need to get a good habit going is a push in the right direction, and to make it even easier, have it delivered right to your door. At The Juicery, we’ll label your juice with all its ingredients so you know exactly what you’re drinking, we’ll number each bottle to make it easy to follow your daily routine, and to top it off, we’ll deliver your juice right to you.
