New Juicing Podcast - Cold Pressed Truth
Today I’m announcing my new podcast Cold Pressed Truth, a podcast where I interview juice entrepreneurs and other professionals in the industry. This is the first ever podcast for juicing professionals. I hope to record one per month, but I really don’t know how many or how often I will be doing this. I do however, know that I have some super interesting people lined up for future interviews already. In this first episode I spend over an hour talking juice business with Goodnature’s chef and juice consultant Ari Sexner. He’s also the author of the new book The Juicing Companion, an idea book to help you create unique recipes.

What I Learned at JuiceCon
What an amazing time we all had this past weekend at JuiceCon. I am truly touched about how much positivity there is in our community, and how many kind, caring people we managed to bring together into one place. The only sad part is that we have to wait a whole a year to do it again. 😢 Couldn’t make JuiceCon this year? You can Pre-register for 2019 now. Location and event details have not yet been determined. There was a ton of valuable knowledge shared in the main speaker room and in the workshop room, and the list of takeaways would be too long to put into this article. We will be sharing videos of the main room presentations in the coming weeks, and I will be following up with some of the speakers and attendees to write more in-depth articles on some of the topics discussed at the event. More important than the technical knowledge, however, is the bigger lesson I learned. The entrepreneurs involved in our industry are different. Yes, you may have started a juice company to make money, but let’s be honest— there are much easier ways to make money than to be a juice maker. The juicing business is hard. We aren’t selling flavored water that can sit on a shelf for six months without refrigeration. We aren’t selling toxic processed food that is making our world sick.
Cold-Pressed Juice Industry to Exceed $8.1B by 2024
On October 9th, Yahoo Finance stated the cold-pressed market will top $8.1 Billion by 2024 and released a video of a compelling interview with Hayden Slater, CEO of Pressed Juicery, where he explains what the most important driving factors are in the juice industry. In the interview, Slater touches on price point, their juice membership plan, and other products like their signature “freeze” juice soft serve. Focused on getting the price under $5.00, Pressed Juicery is aiming to make their way into lower income neighborhoods, even selling their wholesale brand in 7-11. There’s been more negative headlines than positive lately about the juice industry, and it’s easy to read them and get a serious case of FUD, but the truth is more people are making juice a part of their daily diet than ever before. As a society, we are becoming increasingly aware of the role nutrition plays in our health, and as long as that continues, the juicing industry will continue to thrive. What do you think?

When to Upgrade to an Automated Bottle Filler
Frequently, new juice bar or wholesale juice business owners ask about investing in an automated bottle filler. I purchased a two-head, table-top bottle filler for our juicing kitchen a while ago with the intention of stocking it as part of our product line.
