Cold-pressed juice is a living, raw food — and we treat it that way. Here's exactly how we keep what you drink fresh, clean and safe, from our family kitchen to your hands.

How we keep your juice safe

• Cold from press to pickup. Every bottle is kept refrigerated — at or below 41°F — from the moment it's pressed, through storage, all the way to pickup. The cold chain is how raw juice stays safe.
• Small batches, made to order. We don't mass-produce or let juice sit. We press in small batches close to when you'll pick it up, so it's as fresh as possible.
• Sealed & labeled. Every order is packaged to keep it clean and labeled with what's inside and the date it was pressed, so you always know exactly what you're getting and how fresh it is.
• Clean hands, certified. Our kitchen runs on careful washing, sanitizing and produce handling — and we're food-handler certified.
• Honest ingredients. 100% real fruits, vegetables and botanicals — no concentrates, no preservatives, nothing artificial. Every ingredient is listed on the label.

Cold-pressed & raw — and why we keep it cold

Our juice is cold-pressed and never pasteurized. Pasteurization uses heat, which dulls the flavor and cooks off some of the nutrients and natural enzymes we want you to get. We'd rather keep the juice raw and alive — and keep it cold and fresh to make up for skipping the heat.

That's why we ask you to keep it refrigerated and enjoy it within about 72 hours (or freeze it up to 6 months). And, as with any raw, unpasteurized juice: if you're pregnant, feeding very young children, elderly, or have a weakened immune system, it's wise to check with your doctor first. We'd rather be upfront than leave you guessing.

A note for the curious: our fresh-brewed teas and infused elderberry syrup are made differently from the raw juices — they're brewed or simmered with heat and then chilled, rather than pressed raw. We still keep them just as cold and fresh, with the same keep-it-refrigerated handling.

What's on every bottle

We're proud to be transparent — here's the information you'll find on each label, including exactly what Texas and the FDA ask raw-juice makers to share:

• The product name, full ingredient list, and the date it was pressed.
• Keep-it-cold guidance: "Safe handling instructions: to prevent illness from bacteria, keep this food refrigerated or frozen until the food is prepared for consumption."
• Our home-kitchen honesty (required by Texas): "This product was produced in a private residence that is not subject to governmental licensing or inspection."
• On our raw juices, the standard FDA fresh-juice notice: that the juice is not pasteurized and, like all fresh raw juice, isn't recommended for those most vulnerable to foodborne illness without a doctor's okay.

We put these right on the bottle because trusting us with what your family drinks is a big deal — and we don't take it lightly.

Made under the Texas Cottage Food Law

Texas law lets families like ours make and sell certain foods — including fresh juice — directly from a home kitchen. We make the most of that the right way: we sell directly to you (at pickup, events and by the batch), we keep everything cold and clean, and we've gone and gotten registered and certified rather than just doing the minimum.

Certified & verified

• Texas DSHS registered — registered with the Texas Department of State Health Services to make refrigerated (time- and temperature-controlled) foods.
• Food-handler certified — current food-handler training in safe preparation, storage and handling.
• Homemade Texas Verified Seller — independently reviewed for cottage-food compliance, safe handling and proper labeling.
