"Consumers today are increasingly focused on the provenance of their produce, and the grocery stores where they shop are responding with the brands they stock," says Keith Benoit, chief sales officer, FreshBev. "We're thrilled that so many of the country's leading grocery chains have joined the RIPE movement."

At the RIPE Craft Juicery in New Haven, Conn., every step in the making of fresh juices is managed to ensure the time from grower to refrigerator is days as opposed to weeks. All juice extraction is done under one roof and never above 40 degrees. Within minutes of being extracted, the liquid is bottled and submitted to high-pressure technology, making them safe and helping preserve of the color, flavor, aroma and nutrition.
