Our juice

It all begins with juicy, tart cherries, fresh from our family orchards in central Washington. The ripe fruit is rushed to the processing plant where it is carefully washed and pressed.

The cherry juice is then extracted, and a concentrate is made and pasteurized with state-of-the-art equipment, according to strict industry regulations.

Safety-sealed containers of the cherry concentrate are transported in a refrigerated truck to the bottling plant. Here, designated “filling rooms” have been sterilized, in preparation for the bottling process.

Employees who have been specially trained in product handling and sanitation oversee the bottling.

The sparkling bottles are labeled, boxed and on their way to grocery shelves and on-line customers, brimming with fresh- from-the-orchard taste.

In a recent consumer survey...

“75% said they’d prefer to eat foods with specific health-enhancing properties rather than take supplements.”
