ABOUT US


Local Juice is about making raw juice in its most pure form. from farm to bottle with as little interference as possible. we source organically grown produce primarily from local farmers and use the cold-press method to extract nutrient rich juice. all of our juice is made in small batches with a huge amount of effort paid to preserving the life force that exists within produce.
Cold-pressed, nutrient rich, organic
COLD PRESSED the cold-pressed method keeps produce alive by preserving the structure of enzymes and reduces exposure to oxygen while making juice. simply put – it’s the best tasting juice delivering the most nutrients to your body. We use Green Star and norwalk juicers.
NUTRIENT RICH our focus is to create drinks made from living and nutrient rich produce. we use native plants, greens picked within 24 hours, and a variety of funky methods to achieve the same thing. juice with capacity to heal. we stand by our commitment of farm to bottle and we are always working on faster ways to get produce from the farmers to our press.
ORGANIC produce that is worth the squeeze. we use certified organic produce from awesome farmers. we’re in the business of making great juice and cleansing – so we need the best produce grown in soil that is free of chemicals and abundant with a variety of minerals.

SUSTAINABILITY all of our juice is glass bottled. no nasty plastic or bpa chemicals used here. not only that, we are reducing travel and supporting local by using Locally sourced glassware. It’s not cheap, or easy. But neither are we.
Pulp makes amazing compost. Farmers need compost to grow amazing produce. We need amazing produce. The story writes itself. We close the loop by returning all organic produce back to the soils that grow our fruits and veggies – and not to landfill. We even will have an on site entourage of worms used for getting that pulp ready for the soil.
If it’s not glass, it’s biodegradable packaging. All of our straws, cups and lids are compostable. The earth doesn’t need any more rubbish on the ground!
We encourage our drinkers to recycle glassware. use it at home, or give it back to us.

Easy Green Smoothie

Green smoothies are very popular these days.  If you have a blender you can make one very fast and its an easy way to get your greens in as well as for your kids. My kids have been helping me make them since they were pretty small. I am the biggest advocate of showing your kids how to make healthy food.  It is fun for them to help and that encourages them to try what they have help make!  You really don't need a fancy blender to make a good smoothie.  If you follow my steps:


  • Add Spinach or Kale first (if your not used to green smoothies I suggest you start with spinach and work your way up to Kale.  You can barely taste the spinach if at all.  I add 2 cups but you can start with a handful and work your way up.
  • Add 1 cup liquid- you can use water, milk, almond milk, hemp milk, coconut water or any nut milk.  I typically use hemp milk or almond milk.  My husband usually uses cows milk but will use hemp or almond also.
  • Frozen fruit- If I have frozen bananas I will add one.  Usually a handful of organic frozen berries and a banana are the fruits I add.  If you don't have at least one frozen fruit add ice to your smoothie
  • You can also add cucumber, parsley, cilantro, romaine lettuce..just make sure if it is a leafy green you add it first.
  • Healthy fat: usually 1 tbsp nut butter or coconut oil.
  • Next, I add  1 Tsp local honey, bee pollen or propolis.
  • Optional: Protein powder.  I use a raw vegan protein powder but whatever protein powder you have works.  Mine has chia seeds in it so if yours doesn't I recommend adding a teaspoon as well.
Blend and serve!

The reason I add a healthy fat with the green smoothie is so you can absorb all the nutrients of the leafy greens.  I will explain more on this subject in a later post as well as the benefits of local honey, bee pollen and propolis.
