Wallingford is a vibrant community, where people care about what they put in their bodies and how they impact their world. Following in this spirit of my community, I have come to learn the incredible health benefits from fresh, raw juice. Juicing offers many life-enhancing health benefits. This includes a faster, more efficient way to absorb immune-boosting nutrients naturally found in fruits and vegetables. It provides a way to access digestive enzymes typically locked away in the fiber matrix of whole fruits and vegetables. Another way it has greatly benefited our family is by changing the preferences of our palate, opening up opportunities to consume more plant-based food than ever before.
As a busy working mom, I have learned that while juicing excels in the category of optimal health, but it greatly lacks in the category of practicality. Regularly enjoying fresh, raw juice at home is extremely challenging. Trying to produce your own juice results in lost time and tons of cleanup. When I learned firsthand of these challenges, I looked for more practical solutions. Alternatives include store-bought juice, which has varying levels of processing and diminished health benefits, or raw juice from a juice bar, which requires the investment of travel and time in order to access.
I am now pursuing a better, third alternative. The Wallingford Juicer is a locally-based project that provides fresh, raw, wholesome juice to our community. This is accomplished through regular doorstep deliveries within hours of when the fresh produce is transformed into life-giving juice. The produce for these juices is sourced as locally as possible, including a developing partnership with the Wallingford Farmer’s Market. The Wallingford Juicer relies heavily on the involvement of the community, as it is small scale by design and it is currently in the startup stage. We need our neighbors to back this project in order to make it a reality.
Juice is not a health food and this looks like advertising to me.
Maybe too commercial, but, fwiw, It wasn’t paid for. We at Wallyhood would welcome folks from the community who would like to contribute to the blog, to make sure we always have top notch content.
I agree with Lime Green. I am not a bit interested in this. I think this article comes close, if not over, the guidelines of a featured story in Wallyhood. I am sure many people in this area would love a free method of advertising their interest or business. This does not belong here.
Julie is a Wallingford resident who is trying to get a new business off the ground. She deserves whatever support we can give her. In my opinion it is entirely appropriate for Wallyhood to provide a platform for budding entrepreneur Wallingfordians. Good luck Julie!
A bunch of entitled white poeple bitching at a bunch of entitled white poeple for being entitled. BORRRRRRINGGGGG
Interesting! I have lived in Wallingford long enough to remember a juice bar in a space which is now a restaurant by Big Al’s bar, one which was in a large health food store whichis now the endless clearance carpet store and another in a vegetarian restaurant which had a large bear carving outside. None survived. As I think about this venture.. what about a small juice making stand for farmers markets only? Thus no need to invest in a store space but also have juice for a crowd of interested people.
At $10.95 for a 16 ounce bottle, I hope the juice comes with a complimentary shot of gin.
Dumb advertisement trying to convince me that juicing is too much work to do myself and I should pay triple to buy someone else’s. Wow, great. I think supporting a start-up local business nearby is fantastic but this as a regular blog post is coming on too strong. My advice is to start a semi-regular local-business spotlight post where a start-up or established business can be profiled. Just make sure readers are aware of the content by the headline.
Bad advertisement trying to convince me that juicing is too much work to do myself and I should pay triple and buy someone else’s. Wow, that’s great. Supporting a local business is fantastic. My advice is to have a monthly (or whatever) blog post that features a Wallingford business, whether it’s a start-up or established. Just be clear in the blog headline that it’s a business spotlight, not a regular blog post.
